Delve deeper into the Maldives with Regaldive

Published

on

Regaldive has just introduced the charming Maradhoo Island to its Maldives portfolio. Dubbed by the diving holiday specialist as a ‘liveaboard on dry land’ Maradhoo Island brings together world class exploratory diving with an authentic above-the-water Maldivian experience.

Offering new and exciting encounters for divers of all levels, Maradhoo Island is located on the very southern tip of the Maldives and offers an unparalleled diversity of underwater life. Over 25 sites in the Addu atoll can be reached from the island including exhilarating drift and wall dives, and one of the highlights of the area, Manta Point. In addition to mantas, other regular sightings include reef sharks, turtles, eagle rays, honeycomb and moray eels, barracuda, batfish and unicorn fish. For wreck and photography enthusiasts, the British Loyalty – an oil tanker sunk at the end of WWII, is located just minutes away and is the biggest wreck in the Maldives. Gorgonians, table, black and soft corals can be admired on the main hull, the resident leaf-fish and turtles can be seen near the bow and the three remaining blades of the propeller make for great photographic shots.

Offering a more authentic alternative to mainstream Maldives resorts, guests staying on Maradhoo Island will stay in one of its two small and comfortable guesthouses. Accommodation is full board and meals are taken at a local restaurant, offering divers’ great opportunities to immerse themselves in local life and taste the delicious regional delicacies on offer on the island.

A seven night package with Regaldive costs from £1,479 per person, to include scheduled return flights, inter atoll flights, transfers and seven nights’ full board accommodation, based on two people sharing. A five day dive pack including three boat dives per day costs from £366 per person to include a guide, boat, air, tanks and weights.
