Prepare to embrace the calm seas and clear blue skies of this world class dive destination aboard the Manthiri, a luxury 12 passenger world class live aboard. The Maldives is a garland- shaped chain of 26 atolls stretching 750 kilometers across the equator, in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India. The atolls girdle over 1190 emerald islands, most of them uninhabited, and countless reefs and shallows to form a complete echo system that acts as a magnet for a cornucopia of colorful marine life ranging from blooming corals to big pelagics. Perhaps nowhere else is fish life as rich as here. Encounters with large and small fish and schooling fish in the thousands are common experiences. The water temperature is almost uniform year-round, ranging from 83°F to 85°F (28°C to 29°C). Visibility, on some dives is 100 foot plus while on others it ranges 80 to 60 foot.

Yes the Maldives are renowned for its rich and diverse marine life, our luxurious live-aboard with a long and illustrious track record of happy customers reflected in the high number of returning guests. In 13 years of operation, the vessel has undergone three major refits and upgrades primarily aimed at the comfort and convenience of the guests.
