A liveaboard trip in the Maldives is a unique dive holiday – you’ll spend the duration of your trip aboard a specially equipped boat, cruising between the exotic coral atolls and diving at various dive sites. It’s an immersive and intimate encounter with the marine world, promising stunning scenery, comfort, adventure and unforgettable diving moments.
2. Who is a Maldives Liveaboard Trip Suitable For?
There’s a common misconception that liveaboard trips are only for seasoned divers, but that’s not true. Our Maldives liveaboard trips cater to a variety of experience levels, right from Open Water Divers to experienced divers. Non-diver companions are also welcome aboard, to snorkel, relax and enjoy the stunning Maldivian waters.
3. What Marine Life Can I Encounter During Dives in The Maldives?
The Maldives, a marine treasure trove, is ripe with vibrant coral reefs, magnificent manta rays and sharks, schools of colourful tropical fish, and often offers rare sightings of the mesmerising whale shark.
4. What's Included in My Maldives Liveaboard Package?
Generally, Maldives liveaboard packages feature full-board accommodations (including meals), diving sessions with professional dive instructors, local island visits, and fishing trips. However, specifics vary with each package, so it’s essential to check inclusions while booking.
5. Is Dive Gear Included?
Dive equipment (like BCDs, regulators, wetsuits, fins, masks, tanks, and weights) is not included but can be rented aboard.
6. Are Meals Provided on The Liveaboard?
Yes, meals are part of your liveaboard package. You can expect a scrumptious mix of local Maldivian delicacies and international cuisine prepared fresh by on-board chefs. Tea, coffee, and water are generally included, with soft drinks and alcohol available at an extra charge.
7. What Should I Pack For My Maldives Liveaboard Trip?
Packing for a liveaboard trip is different from a regular vacation. Key items include quick-dry clothing, swimwear, reef-safe sunblock/suncream, seasickness medication (if needed), reusable water bottle, dive certification and log books, along with personal toiletries.
