About Maldives Liveaboard Diving

Immerse, Explore, Revel: Your Journey Beneath the Maldivian Waves Begins Here.

The Maldives, a tropical paradise located in the Indian Ocean, is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity and vibrant coral reefs. Comprising more than 1,000 coral islands across 26 major atolls, the Maldives provides ample opportunities for underwater exploration.

Liveaboard diving enables you to dive into lesser-known dive sites that are inaccessible from the shore, offering you the chance to witness untouched marine ecosystems and a wide range of marine species in their natural habitats.

The Maldives is a year-round diving destination, thanks to its tropical monsoon climate. However, the dry northeast monsoon season, spanning from November to April, is often preferred by divers, as water visibility can exceed 30 meters during this period.

The water temperature stays relatively consistent throughout the year, ranging from 26°C to 29°C.
