DIVING LIVEABOARDS

Maldives

Diving in the Maldives: A World Beneath the Surface

Beneath the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean lies a mesmerizing realm where every dive is a promise of wonder. Vibrant coral gardens, anemone-covered pinnacles, shark-filled channels, manta ray cleaning stations, and whale shark encounters — the Maldives are a true paradise for divers seeking diversity and emotion.

Aboard the Seafari Explorer 2, a vessel designed by divers for divers, you’ll experience this incredible marine biodiversity in complete comfort. Fully owned and operated by Seafari, the Explorer 2 combines the spirit of adventure with exceptional service. Guided by an experienced and attentive crew, you’ll dive safely and make the most of every underwater moment.

Our 7-, 10-, and 14-night itineraries cover the Maldives’ most iconic atolls — Ari, Vaavu, Meemu, Fuvahmulah, and Baa. From discovery routes to extended expeditions reaching the equator, each cruise offers a deep immersion into the magic of the Maldives.

Thilas, channels, wrecks, or lagoons — every site reveals a different facet of the archipelago’s underwater richness.

Can you already picture that first giant stride?
