Emperor Divers Maldives introduces second new liveaboard
Building on the success of liveaboard Emperor Voyager in the Maldives, Emperor Divers Maldives has added a second liveaboard, Emperor Atoll, to its portfolio.
MV Emperor Atoll is a popular liveaboard sailing from Male and caters to small groups of no more than 12 guests in 6 twin-berth cabins. Dive routes are designed to show divers the ‘big stuff ‘and include ‘The Best of the Maldives’, ‘Sharktastic’ and ‘Pelagic Magic’ itineraries. A dedicated professional Cruise Director aims to give guests the very best dive holiday experience.
Prices for a 7 night liveaboard on Emperor Atoll start from just £988 and includes 6 days’ diving, 3 meals a day, afternoon snacks, 1 BBQ dinner on uninhabited island, unlimited drinking water, tea, coffee, total of 17 dives (including 1 night dive), guide, tanks and weights, free Nitrox and return airport transfers. Flights are not included.
Says Mike Braun, General Manager of Emperor Divers, “We’ve been very pleased with the response to Emperor Voyager and now Emperor Atoll gives an option to those guests who like a smaller boat. Emperor Atoll offers superb value for money and the routes we have chosen ensure divers are in the best spots at the best times to see whale sharks, sharks and mantas.”
The Maldives is one of the most appealing dive destinations in the world with its relaxed atmosphere, year-round warm water and sightings of great pelagics.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
