The Best Liveaboard Trip in the Maldives?

Published

on

The Scuba Place recently hosted a group of divers in the Maldives.  This trip report is all about their vote for the BEST Maldives Liveaboard and the BEST Itinerary.

It goes without saying that the Maldives is a bucket list destination for scuba divers, and it doesn’t take a genius to work out that the best way to experience the Maldives is by doing a liveaboard safari – from both the quality of diving and value for money.

There are numerous itineraries to choose from and these can differ in many ways, and some are the same but just called something different, which doesn’t really help the first-time Maldives diver make their choice!  We have just arrived back to cold and wet Blighty having spent a week on board the BEST BOAT doing the BEST ITINERARY… and we can’t wait to share why we feel this way.

Firstly, The Best of The Central Atolls is the title of our boat operators’ itinerary. We hit all the best sites of the North and South Malé Atolls, Felidhoo Atoll, and North Ari Atoll.  We’ve done this itinerary a few times and our boat continues to find the best sites including some new ones to add to our list of favourites.

Secondly, Sachika is our number one choice in liveaboards in the Maldives. We have worked with Top Class Cruising, the boat operator and management company for over a decade. Sachika won the ‘Best Liveaboard in the Maldives’ for 2018, 2019 and 2022, and the ‘Best Dive Guide’ for 2022 was awarded to the lead guide on board Sachika. These awards are given by both the Maldivian Port Authority and the annual Maldivian Tourism Awards.

Let’s discuss the BEST boat – your potential home from home for a week.  What sets Sachika apart from many is the accommodation. The cabins are very big, well-appointed, and have proper bathrooms that you can actually get into without turning sideways. Each of the standard cabins has a full-size double bed plus a single bed, or twin beds. Individual air conditioners, well-lit, with functional portholes for great ventilation.  These are supremely comfortable.  It gets bigger and better – a Junior Suite that occupies the whole beam of the boat towards the bows gives a lot more space and luxury for a very small premium – and this cabin even has a small bathtub! And bigger and better still are the three suites on the upper deck, with 4-poster beds, windows that open, and a private staircase down to the salon.

The Salon itself is spacious, and seats 20 guests plus the crew for meals comfortably on tables that can be arranged to accommodate large or small groups. A lounge area, a games cupboard and a small library, plus a charging station (UK 3-pin plugs are standard on board) for all things electrical, an indoor bar and a coffee station make up the rest of this central space. Out the front of the dining room is a covered seating area – the perfect place for a coffee whilst watching the sunrise before the dive briefings.

Towards the stern on the salon deck is a balcony overlooking the platform – the perfect lookout to see nurse sharks, dolphins, manta rays and even whalesharks at night as they come to feed on the plankton attracted by the halogen lights placed over the water.

On the deck above is the main bar and seating area, side access to the suite cabins, and steps up to the sun deck where there are numerous loungers and a covered area with a 6-person jacuzzi.

In case you haven’t been to the Maldives it’s interesting to note that, unlike most other liveaboard destinations, diving isn’t done from the main vessel, but from a dhoni.  The dhoni is a large, purpose-built dive tender that comes alongside to collect you for a dive and returns you to the liveaboard after the dive. Therefore, the boat is quiet – no compressors or tanks banging.  Your kit stays on the dhoni so all you need to carry is your towel and camera.

All in all, Sachika is a pretty special vessel to spend a week on from an accommodation perspective, but we also want to mention the crew, as they are a special part of a dive trip.

The boat is operated and managed by Top Class Cruising, an Italian management company with a long track record and pedigree. Their staff are exceptional – super warm and friendly, fun and engaging, totally professional and expert – everything that you could wish for. On our trip, and this was our 7th week on board Sachika over the last decade, they fixed problems before anyone knew there were problems!  They keep the boat immaculate and provide the nicest little touches (towel sculptures in the cabins, Italian snacks at happy hour, celebration cakes et al) without being asked, and the catering is just superb. The chefs have been sent to Italy for training and wow does it pay off! Expect pasta of the highest calibre, Maldivian curries, baked fish and meats and with plenty of choice at every meal.  This is not a ‘lose-weight’ trip!

So, is this the best boat? We LOVE Sachika, and our clients over the years have nothing other than great things to say, so YES, for us, she is our BEST boat.  There are so many to choose from, so many different characteristics, and of course, so many price categories. When it comes to value for money, comfort, service, expertise, and quality, Sachika is the best that we have been on pretty much anywhere, let alone the Maldives.

So, what about the BEST itinerary?

We have experienced a majority of the itineraries available in the Maldives, and this Best of the Central Atolls is our favourite by a mile and then some.

We found a recent Deep South itinerary to be disappointing from a coral health perspective with loads of coral bleaching and the shark diving felt a bit chaotic, encroaching into the realm of unnecessary danger in our opinion. It is also consideraby more expensive as some of the shark dives are an additional cost. The additional domestic flight puts the cost of a Deep South trip over and above better shark diving destinations such as the Bahamas so this didn’t float our boat – although as effective controls are implemented, I am sure this will become a far safer environment to dive.

The North to South itineraries, again require an additional domestic flight upping the price.  It offers some great diving, but we also experienced some not-so-great diving too.  We felt there wasn’t much that was better on this itinerary than the Central Atolls itinerary. The whalesharks off the back of the boat at night were an unbeatable experience, but singularly so in comparison to our chosen favourite route.

Often called The Best of the Maldives, the itinerary we chose covers the atolls in North Malé, South Malé, Felidhoo, and Ari.

Our BEST liveaboard journey begins in North Malé Atoll, where you’ll have the chance to explore some of the most incredible dive spots, right next to the capital city.  For example, immediately after our check dive at Kurumba, we dropped in at Hulumale Wall, hovering over the sandy bottom that is home to literally hundreds of large sting rays and marble rays. We were happily watching these big creatures when two tiger sharks and a great hammerhead joined us, circling the rays (and us) for a good 10 minutes! There aren’t many better ways to start a dive trip!

From there, we hit Kandooma for more sharks and some beautiful eagle ray interaction, and then the famous night dive with hundreds of nurse sharks hunting at Alimathaa Jetty – if you know, then you know. If you don’t, then this is a bucket list dive that just has to be done!

The dives in the Felidhoo Atoll the next day delivered more grey reef sharks, white tip sharks, black tip sharks and even silvertips too – plus turtles, eagle rays and plentiful reef fish as we dived the thilas at Kuda Rah and Angaga, plus Miyaru Kandu.  South Ari Atoll was our next port of call, where we dived the Digurah Arches, Rangali Madivaru and Hureuelhi Beyru – whalesharks, eagle rays, turtles, schooling reef fish and numerous octopi kept cameras focused and minds blown!

We then started our journey northwards again, staying in the Ari Atoll, diving the wrecks at Kudima and Fesdhoo, plus some more amazing reefs and marine life hotspots, including Fish Head, Maaya Thila and Hohola Thila.  The usual suspects met us at these dive sites – sharks of all species, but especially exciting to see more silvertips, more eagle rays, and mantas within touching distance at Camel Rock, a specific cleaning station frequented by these gentle giants.The usual suspects met us at these dive sites – sharks of all species, but especially exciting to see more silvertips, more eagle rays, and mantas within touching distance at Camel Rock, a specific cleaning station frequented by these gentle giants.

And there was more manta action too on a night dive off the back of the boat at Fesdhoo Lagoon. For this spectacle, the crew put the powerful halogen lights over the water off the back deck, leaving them there while we ate dinner to allow the clouds of plankton to build. Dolphins, reef squid and even a mantis shrimp stopped by to grab a snack, and then a couple of mantas turned up…….time to kit up and jump in!  Dropping onto the sand at approximately 10m depth, everyone formed into a circle, and pointing their torches toward the surface, creating a ‘cage’ of light beams, giving the plankton a cylinder of light from the seabed to the surface – a dining table for the mantas!

Four of five of these majestic beauties swooped and soared through the light column, barrel rolling and somersaulting whilst taking huge mouthfuls of plankton, and this spectacle lasted for an hour! Getting out of the water was a real struggle – we all wanted to stay in and wait for more mantas to arrive!

And then finally, and sadly, we made our way back to North Male Atoll for one last dive at Bathala Thila, and as well as the usual shark sightings, we spent time looking for smaller critters on the reef, finding a sizeable frogfish, numerous nudibranchs and a carpet of anemones covering the whole reeftop – a beautiful way to end a stunning week.

And it isn’t all about diving either! Almost daily excursions off the boat to a desert island or sandbar for sunset cocktails and happy hour keep your feet firmly grounded, and the traditional beach barbecue at night on a private island is as always, spectacular – gourmet food, the skies lit with stars, tiki torches on the beach and the company of your dive buddies is a great way to spend an evening. Add into this mix of non-diving activities unlimited snorkelling and stand-up paddle-boarding and you get an idea of how the surface intervals can be spent.

After the very last dive, the crew took our kit, washed it and put it out to dry for us, and we were left to wine and dine, reflect on an amazing week, hop in and out of the jacuzzi and grab a cocktail or two – the usual last night activities.

Saying goodbye is always a sad event on these trips – the crew are so good they become like family. You know you are going to miss the catering and service – having your omelettes put in front of you before you ask for them – but it is far more than that.  And that is why we go back, almost annually.

So, is this the BEST boat and the BEST itinerary?  We think so.  If you want immense marine life interactions, minimal sailing times, off-boat activities and the very best dive sites in the Maldives, then this itinerary takes some beating. If you want really great service, large comfortable cabins, great food AND phenomenal diving, then the combination of this itinerary and Sachika will give you that.

Our next trip? October 2024, with prices from £2795 including flights, Nitrox, all taxes and ATOL Protection.  Check out the brochure and itinerary here.

Key Facts :

  • Getting there : Our flights were with Emirates flying from Heathrow to Male via Dubai. We left London in the early evening arriving in Dubai in the early hours of the morning after a 7-hour flight. A 2-hour layover before a quick 4 hour flight to Male.  We were greeted by staff from Sachika and settled in the food court to complete paperwork and await the arrival of a few more passengers.  Then out of the airport, across the street and on to the dhoni for a quick 10-minute ride to the liveaboard.  Our flight home left Male just after 9am, so we were up and on our way to the airport early, arriving back to Heathrow around 19.00 making for a very easy travel day.  Alternate airports and flights are readily available.
  • Air temperature : Tropical – average daily temperature throughout the year is 24 to 33°C. The wet season is linked to the southwest monsoon and can range from April to October.
  • Water temperature : 26-30°C. A 1-3mm full suit or shorty will suit most.
  • Visa requirement : UK passport holders are permitted to enter the Maldives without a visa for an initial period of 30 days.
  • Immigration and health protocols : An online form at https://travel.immigration.gov.mv/ is required prior to arriving and departing the Maldives.
  • Currency : US Dollar are accepted on the liveaboard for extras. Cash or credit card with a 4% fee.
  • Electricity : Sachika has every type of adapter you could need and provides a charging station in the dining area. The standard plugs are UK 3-pin style.
  • Internet and Wi-Fi : There is wifi available for a charge for the week it worked well in our room on deck. There are a few spots without coverage, but that usually occurred while we were crossing at night. 

Price Guide: For 2024 expect from £2795 per person based on two sharing a standard cabin for 7 nights with flights, NITROX and 17 scheduled dives, and Maldivian taxes included.  2 or 3 extra dives were offered at a reasonable fee.  Full board including soft drinks is also included.  You’re not likely to find another Maldives liveaboard at this price point that includes NITROX, soft drinks and taxes.

Our Advice: Pick the BEST boat – Sachika and the BEST itinerary – The Best of the Central Atolls.  You won’t be disappointed!  Get in touch and let us help you design your dream diving holiday to the Maldives!

Packing tips :

  • Rechargeable fan(s) : If you’ve read any of our recent trip reports we recommend these over and over again. We can’t believe we travelled without them for so many years! Join the fan club and grab one off Amazon… you won’t regret it!
  • Microfibre towel or poncho : large beach towels are provided but a few divers had microfibre towels that worked a treat!  Sachika had branded ponchos for sale and some from our group grabbed them and loved them.

The Scuba Place designs and builds custom scuba diving holidays.  With personal knowledge and experience diving in many of our destinations, there is no one better to help build your dream dive holiday.  Come Dive with Us!

Can reef conservation be both enjoyable and profitable?

Published

on

wakatobi

At Wakatobi Dive Resort, guests are always thanked for coming to enjoy this special place, as it is their presence that creates the magic making ongoing reef conservation efforts a reality. “The more you know, the more you notice,” says in-house marine biologist Julia Mellers. “And what better place to learn about reef biodiversity and custodianship than in Wakatobi.”

“My main project for the first year is to establish a way of monitoring the health of Wakatobi’s reef ecosystem,” Julia says. “This will allow us to provide hard scientific proof that Wakatobi’s conservation model measurably benefits reef health. Holding a finger to the pulse of the reef will also assist management decisions, such as identifying priority areas for increased protection.”

Modern methods for reef management

The Wakatobi Reef Health Assessment program utilizes a customized set of modern imaging and data analysis techniques that provide a comprehensive indication of the state of a reef ecosystem. “We use the latest ecological theory, technology, and artificial intelligence to develop a novel package to efficiently and robustly measure reef health,” Julia says. “This will enable us to monitor how Wakatobi’s reefs are faring throughout the protected area without significantly diverting resources from protecting the reefs.”

The process begins in the water, capturing the reef’s sights, sounds, and landscape. Above water, Julia is developing and implementing analysis methods and training machine learning models to extract measures of reef health from captured data. When not on the island, she will research new approaches and ideas for coral reef assessment and help spread the word about Wakatobi’s scientific initiative.

“It’s an absolute privilege to work within a system that benefits both the reefs and the local people,” says Julia. “It also gives us a unique opportunity to assess and document reef health and dynamics within an ecosystem that is actually getting healthier. In stark contrast to declines in coral health recorded elsewhere, our scientific data is already beginning to demonstrate Wakatobi’s astonishing biodiversity – which is evident to anyone who ventures underwater at the resort.”

The program focuses on three indicators of reef health: the diversity of the reef community, which measures the variety and abundance of living organisms colonizing the reef surface; structural complexity, describing the degree to which the reefs incorporate elaborate details; and reef soundscapes, recording the noise a reef’s inhabitants make, including the snapping of shrimp and the feeding sounds of fish. By measuring these elements, it is possible to estimate how much life the habitat supports.

“Luckily, we don’t have to work all that out manually,” Julia says. Artificial intelligence plays a vital role. “I train machine learning models to identify signals of reef functioning that would otherwise be undetectable. For example, a model can be trained to recognize the sounds that characterize a healthy reef. This allows us to monitor the reefs at a scale, and with a thoroughness that would otherwise be inconceivable.”

Julia and the dive team have also started an eDNA survey of the reefs. ”This involves taking seawater samples near the reef at different depths and filtering them to trap environmental DNA (eDNA) that organisms shed into the water,” Julia explains. “The samples are now in a lab, where the DNA is labeled using probes and sequenced to identify which species are around. Using this technique, we should be able to detect hundreds of species from just a single litre of seawater. It’s a very cool process!”

A Wakatobi welcome

Julia says the Wakatobi team has been exceptionally supportive and welcoming. “They are able to maintain a totally laid-back atmosphere while coordinating an exceptionally professional operation.” She adds that Wakatobi feels remote in the best ways, with pristine reefs, peace, and quiet, while also being an extremely comfortable and well-connected place to work.

“Working within a system that works for the reefs because it works for the people is an absolute privilege,” she says. “It also gives us a unique opportunity to unpick reef health and dynamics within an ecosystem that is actually getting healthier. In stark contrast to declines recorded elsewhere, our scientific data is already beginning to demonstrate the astonishing biodiversity evident to anyone who ventures underwater at Wakatobi.”

The Wakatobi team has also proven to be an invaluable source of knowledge about the local ecosystem,” Julia says. “Wakatobi makes the perfect scientific laboratory. Being able to go from library to laptop to reef, all in the space of a hundred meters, is the perfect recipe for generating new ideas and trying them out. It is so exciting to work with open-minded innovators keen to try novel approaches and look at things from different angles.”

“Having such a dynamic team has meant that we’ve made progress quickly,” Julia says. “So far, we have a highly accurate machine learning model that classifies the reef community, a method to analyze the sounds that reef critters make, and a fully automatic way of measuring fish abundance. We are also in a position to add to this repertoire, trialing different techniques to quantify the complex 3D structure that corals make. We have added DNA analysis to the arsenal, which enables us to detect biodiversity invisible to the naked eye.”

From frogs to frogfish

Julia acquired her love of nature and biology from her parents, whom she describes as eco-friendly before the concept became trendy. “Camping, compost heaps, and Attenborough documentaries were features of a nature-centric English childhood. I raised pond-dwelling critters, peered down microscopes, and became transfixed by cephalopods.” Biology was an inevitable choice, she says, and the sea came into her life at a young age. “Having long been a sailor, with a family of sailors, I am at home at sea,” she says. “I took my first sip of compressed air at the bottom of a swimming pool in London and have spent as much time as possible eye-to-eye with octopuses since.”

After completing an undergraduate degree in biology at Oxford University, Julia shifted her Master’s focus to marine biology. It was a move she describes as swapping frogs for frogfish. “I went into marine biology because I see marine biological research as a powerful tool to connect people with the planet,” she says. “Of course, nature should be worth more to us preserved than destroyed – but if you can’t put a price on it, no one pays. Wakatobi has created an economic engine that financially incentivizes reef custodianship. This leads to an ideal scientific setting – demonstrably vibrant reefs linked to genuine socio-economic fairness.“

Julia’s Master’s project was done in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science and investigated mysterious bare rings of sand that surround reef patches within algal meadows. “We think these ‘reef halos’ form because foraging fish will only venture a short way from the shelter of a coral patch if they are under threat from patrolling sharks,” she says. “Since you can spot these halos from satellite images, they could be a neat way of keeping an eye on shark populations from space… and a possible addition to Wakatobi’s monitoring program”!

As the Reef Health Assessment program progresses, Julia will create new learning and participation opportunities for guests to enhance the depth and enjoyment of their Wakatobi experience. Wakatobi Dive Resort will also continue to provide updates and insights on the important work Julia and the rest of the Wakatobi team are doing to understand and protect some of the world’s most pristine and spectacular coral reefs.

Many thanks go to Wakatobi’s guests, whose continued enjoyment of the marine preserve helps keep ongoing reef protection efforts a reality!

Get ready for the Marine Conservation Society’s annual Great British Beach Clean this month

Published

on

Great British Beach Clean

The programme is one of the largest marine citizen science activities of its kind in the UK. Volunteers taking part will not only be clearing our beaches of litter, but help the Marine Conservation Society, the UK’s leading ocean membership charity, to gather vital data to create change for cleaner and healthier seas.

This year’s Great British Beach Clean is being sponsored by Ireland’s leading soup brand, Cully & Sully Soup, whose support is helping to raise awareness of marine litter and protect UK beaches from pollution.

To sign up for a beach clean, or organise your own, simply visit the charity’s website.

Great British Beach Clean

Key stats and facts

  • At last year’s Great British Beach Clean, 5,416 volunteers conducted 428 beach cleans over 10 days, surveying 64,139 metres of coastline. A total of 129,391 pieces of litter were collected, filling 1,426 bags and weighing 7,476 kg.
  • The Marine Conservation Society has recorded an average drop of 80% in carrier bags found on UK beaches since charges were introduced, showing that policies to reduce plastic work.
  • Data collected during the Great British Beach Clean contributes toward the charity’s annual State of our Beaches report. Last year’s report recorded a 14% increase in drinks-related litter.
  • The report also showed that nine out of 10 beach litter items found on beaches by Marine Conservation Society volunteers last year were made from plastic.
  • Sewage plays a large part in the pollution problem. In 2023, over 29,500 sewage-related items, including more than 21,000 wet wipes, were recorded across the UK and Channel Islands, with sewage-related items present on 72% of surveyed beaches.
  • Data from the Marine Conservation Society’s Great British Beach Clean contributes to a global database, International Coastal Cleanup.

Great British Beach Clean

Key messages:

  • Data collected by volunteers during the Great British Beach Clean shows the positive result of policies like carrier bag charges, and how they work to reduce litter on our beaches.
  • Plastic still remains the most common form of beach pollution – highlighting the urgent need for further action to tackle the single-use plastic problem such as charges, bans and deposit return schemes.
  • The Marine Conservation Society is calling for governments across the UK implement world-class deposit return schemes for drinks containers including glass, plastic, and cans, without any further delay. Currently the proposed scheme is set to start in October 2027, but with Wales being the only country to include glass.
  • The charity hopes that the recent bans on single-use plastics, such as cutlery, will lead to a noticeable reduction in the amount of single-use plastic cutlery polluting our beaches, much like the positive impact of the carrier bag charge.
  • Sewage-related pollution, such as period products and wet wipes, are still prevalent on our beaches. Governments of the UK must turn the tide on pollution and end untreated sewage damaging our marine environment.
  • You can support the charity by helping to clean up the UK’s beaches and collecting valuable data that supports efforts to address sewage pollution effectively.

ON THE DEPOSIT RETURN SCHEME:

Lizzie Price, Beachwatch Manager at the Marine Conservation Society: “It’s fantastic to see real-world evidence of the effectiveness of policies such as carrier bag charges in tackling pollution from single-use plastics. There’s no denying that these measures have helped to reduce litter on our beaches. However, we cannot afford to become complacent.

“Drinks-related litter, such as bottles and cans, were found on 97% of UK beaches surveyed last year. We need wider policies such as charges, bans, or deposits on more single-use items where possible, including the proposed deposit return schemes for plastic bottles, cans, and glass. We must keep moving towards a society that repairs, reuses, and recycles.”

Great British Beach Clean

ON SEWAGE POLLUTION:

Rachel Wyatt, the Marine Conservation Society’s Water Quality Policy & Advocacy Manager:

“Our seas cannot sustain the deluge of sewage that is being dumped into our waterways on a weekly basis. Our beach clean volunteers find thousands of sewage-related litter items washed up on the beaches every year, but it’s not just physical pollution that is harmful to us and marine life. Raw sewage contains a cocktail of bacteria, viruses, harmful chemicals, and microplastics which is a disaster for our ocean. Governments of the UK must turn the tide on pollution and end untreated sewage damaging our marine environment, so that we can all enjoy sewage-free seas.”

Great British Beach Clean

ON VOLUNTEERING:

Clare Trotman, Beachwatch Officer at the Marine Conservation Society, said: “The work we do at the Marine Conservation Society simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, who help gather crucial beach litter data. This information is invaluable in shaping scientific understanding and driving the changes needed to protect our precious marine environment.

“With beach cleans taking place all over the UK and Channel Islands, there are countless opportunities to get involved and support us this year. And if you can’t make it to the beach, you can still contribute by organising a local litter pick and survey in your area.”

Cully Allen from Great British Beach Clean sponsor, Cully & Sully Soup, said: “We are excited to be part of the UK’s biggest beach clean initiative for a third year. As a B Corp, doing good is at the core of what we do. We are always striving to do better internally as a business, but we really enjoy when we get to encourage and join our customers in doing good. We are looking forward to getting stuck into the beach cleans again this year, serving up our soup to the SOUPer volunteers and taking direct action on marine litter.”
