Diving in the Maldives is every diver's dream and deciding to do it on a comfortable cruise ship is certainly the best way to get maximum satisfaction with minimum effort.

On boats everything is designed to satisfy every need and thanks to years of experience, the boat on which you boarded, will always follow the best route, to achieve the most beautiful dives in the most suitable moment. 

From the meteorological point of view the Maldivian archipelago presents a double seasonality that can be broadly divided into two periods: the first goes from December to May dominated by the relatively dry north-east monsoon; the second, from June to November dominated by the wetter south-west monsoon.

The constant expiration of the two monsoons is one of the main causes of the change in the marine currents of the archipelago.

With the change of these currents the type of fauna encountered at the dive sites also varies; the great mantas and whale sharks, for example, in the slopes of currents exiting the atolls and the large pelagic fish (sharks, tuna, barracuda, sea eagles etc.) in the slopes of the incoming stream.

It goes without saying that staying on board a cruise boat you can always choose the optimal situations you prefer. The alternation with the two monsoons of the dominant currents is the main reason why depending on the monsoon period, cruises are offered both on the east side and on the west side.

THE STAFF 

On the boats the staff is highly qualified. The instructors / boat chiefs are Italian / European, with a long experience of sea and Maldives in their curriculum, they speak English, Italian, Spanish.

DPV UNDERWATER SCOOTERS: To distinguish   ourselves even better and as evidence of our ambitions,

in the Maldives we first started the adventure of diving with Dpv Scooter systems, an extremely fascinating way of going underwater in absolute safety!

 Children and Families 

For children staying on board our boats, specially designed programs are provided. 

To bring them closer to the wonders of the underwater world and excite them to the fish of a thousand colors, the first "contact" with mask, fin and snorkel is provided for the little ones; thus learning to use correctly and become familiar with this equipment, improving their way of being in the water day by day.

From 8 years upwards, instead, with the PADI SEAL TEAM & BUBBLEMAKER program you can try the first dives with the dispenser; the equipment used was designed and built specifically for this innovative program: ultra-small underwater tanks, anatomical jackets with soft materials, ergonomic mouthpieces.

These programs are carried out at a maximum depth of 2 meters and are managed by qualified instructors who, through play and fun, transmit the information necessary for safe underwater activity, raising children 's awareness of marine life and respect for it.

Finding yourself face to face with a puffer fish, watching a turtle while eating, browsing a moray eel in its lair, will be unforgettable emotions that will give birth to the child that great passion and love for the sea that sometimes changes lives. 

Finally, for those who are already 10 years old, you can actually start the underwater adventure and take the first real patent: the Open Water Junior!
