Many guests join these cruises simply to snorkel, kayak and SUP. But you could opt take it easy in the air-conditioned saloon, or on the large sundeck that features 2 Jacuzzis. The saloon is home to the entertainment system with internet access, including plasma TV, DVD and Bluetooth music system, plus a charging station. There is an upper deck panoramic cocktail bar, and also Karaoke, marine biology lectures, and a range of books and games to keep you entertained between dives. The social areas are expansive, but happy hours are often spent on desert islands.

Diving is conducted by a generous number of 6 experienced dive guides from a separate 18m dive dhoni (210 HP), where equipment and tanks are stored and filled with air or nitrox from the 3 compressors, reducing the noise on board the mothership. Free nitrox is provided for EANx-certified divers, top-tier diving equipment is available for rent, and extra-large 13.5 litre scuba tanks are used by guests as standard, ensuring luxury meets the deep blue of the Maldives in unparalleled harmony.
