Embarking on a diving cruise with the Ecopro Seascape liveaboard is to choose more than a liveaboard; it is to embrace a philosophy of exploration deeply rooted in a passion for the ocean. Ecopro Divers, established by a team of seasoned dive professionals, operates on the principle that a world-class liveaboard experience must blend exceptional service, superior comfort, and unparalleled access to the marine environment. Their flagship liveaboard, the 43m long Ecopro Seascape, is the physical embodiment of this mission, purpose-built in 2023 to be a premier floating basecamp for discovering the Maldives. Combining modern and elevated comfort, safety and eco-friendly practices on board, it represents a commitment to moving beyond the ordinary, offering a dynamic, immersive safari that positions guests in the very heart of the archipelago's aquatic wonders.

The vessel itself is designed with the discerning adventurer in mind, prioritising space and relaxation. It features an expansive sun deck complete with a Jacuzzi, sunbeds, and a shaded bar - an ideal sanctuary for post-dive relaxation and sunset viewing. Inside, the main deck boasts a spacious, air-conditioned saloon and a dedicated media room, catering to both social gatherings and the needs of underwater photographers. Accommodating up to 26 guests, the Seascape’s 15 cabins are notably roomy, all featuring en-suite bathrooms, individual climate control, and ample storage. This thoughtful design ensures that every guest enjoys a comfortable private retreat, reflecting the company's focus on a high-quality, personal experience.

True to Ecopro's dive-centric origins, the operational heart of the Seascape liveaboard is its seamless and professional diving setup, supported by a team that delivers outstanding service. The vessel is supported by 2 dedicated dhoni tender boats, which efficiently ferry divers to and from the sites, maximising time in the water. A large, well-organised dive deck with personal gear storage and dedicated camera stations makes gearing up a smooth process. The experienced guide team, integral to the Ecopro ethos, leads divers through the Maldives' most iconic sites, from thrilling channel drifts to vibrant coral thilas. A key highlight is the strategic routing to renowned manta ray cleaning stations and whale shark feeding areas, offering a high probability of unforgettable encounters with these majestic pelagic species.

Beyond the world-class diving, the Seascape experience is enriched by a selection of activities that capture the full magic of the Maldives. Evenings may feature a traditional Maldivian night with a beach barbecue on a deserted sandbank, or a sunset fishing trip where the day's catch can be prepared by the onboard chef. This commitment to a holistic journey is further reflected in the culinary offering, with a team of chefs preparing a diverse array of international and local dishes to satisfy every appetite.

A voyage on the Ecopro Seascape liveaboard is a comprehensive immersion into the soul of the Maldivian seascape, delivered by a team whose foundation is a genuine love for the ocean. It successfully translates Ecopro Divers' core principles into a tangible experience, combining the freedom of exploration with the comforts of a luxury vessel and the expertise of a professional crew.

The boat departs from anchor the following morning.

Core Days
A cruise through the Central Atolls with the Seascape liveaboard encompasses North Malé, South Malé, Ari, and Felidhoo, with an exploration of the spectacular underwater world of the Maldives. Ocean channels funnel nutrient-rich currents, creating the perfect conditions for thrilling drift dives and pelagic encounters. Submerged pinnacles rise from the deep, adorned with vibrant soft corals, sponges, and teeming reef life. These features create a dynamic range of dive conditions, from exhilarating drifts to gentle coral explorations, making this region the beating heart of Maldivian scuba adventures.
Often the start and end point, North & South Malé atolls are renowned for their vibrant thilas and dramatic channel dives. Key highlights include iconic cleaning stations where oceanic manta rays gather in numbers, and thrilling drifts along coral-clad walls patrolled by whitetip and grey reef sharks, tuna, and eagle rays.
Ari Atoll is a world-famous destination for megafauna. Its nutrient-rich waters offer an exceptionally high probability of encounters with the ocean's gentle giants. Whale sharks are regularly sighted here year-round, while specific sites are renowned for attracting large schools of manta rays. The atoll's thilas and channels are also hunting grounds for schools of pelagic fish and numerous reef sharks.
Known for its pristine and less-visited reefs, Felidhoo Atoll offers a sense of wild, untouched beauty. It is renowned for its dramatic kandus (channels), where strong currents funnel nutrients and attract abundant pelagic life. These drift dives here are action-packed, offering thrilling encounters with reef sharks, nurse sharks, rays, and large schools of fish. The channel walls and nearby reefs are also cloaked in soft and hard corals, creating a backdrop for an impressive cast of reef dwellers like Napoleon wrasse, moray eels, sweetlips, and triggerfish.
Throughout the week onboard the Seascape, the dynamic habitats ensure no two dives are the same, offering everything from close-up macro life to breathtaking wide-angle scenes of schooling fish and majestic megafauna.
Please note: to ensure a relaxed conclusion to the liveaboard safari, only one dive is scheduled on the final full day before the return journey to Malé.

Dive sites and activities: North Male, South Male, Ari, Felidhoo, Meemu, Thaa, and Laamu atolls. Local island visits.

Day 1
The liveaboard safari begins in the harbour close to Malé International Airport, where you will be welcomed aboard the Ecopro Seascape. Once settled with a refreshing drink, the crew will provide a full safety briefing and introduce you to the vessel. The day unfolds with lunch and dinner, allowing you ample time to unpack, relax, and get comfortable on board. The liveaboard will remain at anchor overnight, setting sail the following morning to embark on your diving tour through the Maldives Central and Southern Atolls.

Core Days
This extended cruise with the Seascape liveaboard explores the renowned Central Atolls before venturing south into the less-travelled Felidhoo, Meemu, Thaa, and Laamu Atolls. The diving transitions from the iconic, action-packed sites of the north to the pristine, exploratory reefs of the south, offering a complete and varied Maldivian experience.
The Central Atolls (North Malé, South Malé, Ari) region is the classic diving heartland, defined by thrilling kandus (channels) and lush thilas (pinnacles). Dive famous sites like Maaya Thila and Fish Head in Ari Atoll, renowned for dense shark populations, or drift through channels patrolled by grey reef sharks and eagle rays. Ari Atoll is also world-famous for its reliable whale shark and manta ray encounters. The vibrant coral gardens of North Malé and the current-swept walls of South Malé round out days packed with pelagic action and vibrant reef life.
The Southern Atolls (Felidhoo, Meemu, Thaa, Laamu) reveal a different character. These atolls are celebrated for their exceptional water clarity, stunning coral architecture, and sense of untouched discovery. Dive pristine thilas like Fushi Kandu in Meemu or the iconic Miyaru Kandu in Felidhoo, where walls are draped in vibrant soft corals and gorgonian fans, attracting vast schools of snappers, jacks, and emperors. These nutrient-rich waters are also prime territory for shark encounters. Channels and outer reefs are frequented by patrolling grey reef and whitetip sharks, with the thrilling possibility of encountering hammerhead sharks, especially around the deeper ledges of Thaa and Laamu Atolls. The experience here is defined by both breathtaking wide-angle scenes of schooling fish against deep blue water, alongside the chance to explore a vibrant reef slope entirely to yourself.
Please note: only one dive is scheduled on the final full day before the return journey to Malé.
