Six great liveaboards and six great itineraries with Emperor Maldives
Emperor Maldives has exciting dive trips throughout 2017/18 sailing a range of routes from ‘Best of the Maldives’ to the ‘Deep South & Southern Sharks’.
One of the most popular is the all-year-round ‘Best of the Maldives’ with visits to the most famous Atolls of Rasdhoo, North & South Ari, Vaavu and North & South Male, with every chance of meeting mantas, whale sharks and memorable marine life.
‘Pelagic Magic’ offers just that – bringing guests face to face with the famous whale sharks of Ari Atoll. Pelagics of all shapes and sizes await.
‘Deep South & Southern Sharks’ is ideal from February to April with shark action in these out-of-the-way southern dive sites. Spend a week away with the larger residents; tiger sharks, silver tips, grey reef sharks and whale sharks.
‘Manta Madness’ runs at the time of a New Moon when the manta are most prolific between July and November. As well as manta, expect whale sharks, hammerheads and reef sharks.
‘Sharktastic’ takes advantage of the clean ocean water flowing in from the eastern side of the Maldives bringing with them not just fantastic visibility but also a variety of pelagic surprises coming to the reef for a quick feed.
‘South Central Atolls’ is for when guests are looking for action. Speedy drift dives, mantas, sharks and diving several atolls with a crew that make it their business to make sure mantas, sharks and even a wreck are enjoyed.
All six Emperor Maldives liveaboards offer fine accommodation and service. Included is full board, free Nitrox, and local transfers. Non-divers are very welcome and get free snorkelling equipment + $50 voucher to spend on board.
Seven-night trips start from £999 / €1149 per person sharing a standard twin berth cabin. 10-night trips are also available. Prices do not include international flights. Up to four free places are on offer for group bookings.
Emperor Maldives consistently offers value, variety, quality, service, professionalism, easy booking, handy local knowledge, flexibility and fast response to guest requests.
