Oh, great. A super diving holiday, booked through Diving World. Fantastic, or did I mention that? 😊 We will definitely repeat. Seen dozens of mantas, Eagle Rays, rays and 6 species of sharks. With the whale shark in the south of the South Ari Atoll. 17 dives including 2 night dives. Especially the night dive on a coral reef in the middle of an atoll, you don't know what you see here at night. Unprecedented. The weather was not great but the dives all the better. In March 2024 also been here. Then the weather was much better but there was less to see during the dives. Especially now a lot and a lot more mantas. While we've been on the same route. The advantage of the Emperor Virgo is that Diving World has that boat more or less to itself. So there are only Dutch-speaking tourists on board. Max 18. You will be divided into 3 groups, each with its own guide. And that's perfect. The cabins also in great order as well as the food.

Bof. Military police chef give us any rude explication. And during boat travel with bad weather no explication, no informations, no nothing. So, it is not a good feeling

Very interesting snorkeling. The boat staff were helpfull and attentive when needed. However, the tour organizer was rude towards me and the smell of burn oil is too much.

As a solo traveler, I was wondering how I would feel. 5 minutes into the tour, I realized I was going to have so much fun! Our tour guide was a wonderful person, and I would like to thank her for his respect for nature and Maldivian culture! Speaking of the tour itself, every second was exciting! Sand Island was completely surreal! The food was delicious! And the snorkelling!! THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST IN MY LIFE!!

It was an adventure from start to finish! The overnight stay was super good and the boat ride, as well as watching dolphins, manta rays and swimming with stingrays! Or visiting a sandy island in the sea! I'm still totally fascinated and I have to process it first. I am incredibly happy to have booked with Niki! Thanks for everything Niki and team! I felt like I was at home! I will definitely be back!!!

Swimming with stingrays, seeing baby sharks and experiencing the Maldives like a local would do. This is what you will find in this experience. Hussain and his crew were absolutely brillant. They showed us a wonderful snorkeling spot, the local island Himmafushi and on the way back... DOLPHINS! If you are looking for an authentic experience with ribbons on it go for this! The communication before was amazing. Pick up and drop off also really appreciate! Will definitely do it again, and again and again.

The three people leading the tour were friendly, helpful, and kind. They were attentive to to make the experience great! The snorkeling was nice, where we could see the stingrays, sharks, and fish. The dolphin passing was great. Lunch was satisfying. Lastly, the walk to the sandbay was remarkable! Thank you!
