”Exceeded my expectations, great liveaboard! Was on the central maledives cruise starting December 4th 2023 and it was an absolute blast! The boat is in great condition and very spacious. Food was superb – Buffet for breakfast and lunch, set menu for dinner. The crew catered for all special diets like vegan food perfectly. The dives were phenomenal. Channel and thila dives with dozens of grey sharks, eagle ray, manta rays, whaleshark, turtles, octopus, so nothing else to wish for. You should consider that there are many dives at 30m with very strong currents, and with four instructors for 20-30 guests, you should be comfortable to dive alone with your buddy in challenging conditions. The guests and instructors were mostly French natives. But Lucila, one of the instructors, mostly took care of the six international guests. She did an amazing job to make sure that all info and briefings were provided in English and that we had a great time under water and on board. Thanks Lucila and the whole team for such a great experience! Recommended for: Sharks and Mantas, Variety in dive sites, engagement of instructors.
”Awesome adventure! Excellent. Should note however this is a predominantly Italian boat so be prepared if not an Italian speaker (although all guides speak English too). Food is all Italian – would be nice to have some local Maldivian food on occasion too. Other than this, trip was perfect, diving awesome. Great crew on board, Super welcoming and friendly, very well organised. I’d go back in a heartbeat!” Recommended for: Guides, food, friendliness.
”First liveaboard…definitely won’t be the last! Without a doubt, the diving experiences were the best ever! Night dives with manta rays and nurse sharks…. and so much underwater life in general! Our dive guides worked hard to get us to see as much as possible and the crew were always friendly and helpful. On board was great too. Relaxing in the tub or on the loungers between dives was a treat, as were the super comfy sofas! The food was excellent – such a great spread every meal time! Thoroughly enjoyed the week. Very sad that it’s now over!” Recommended for: Friendly crew and dive guides, food, chill out areas.
”Always beyond our best expectations. In our trip in Sachika boat, everything went perfect but the weather. Giacomo and the dive masters were the best: kind, helpful, and very professional. They take care of every small problem with a smile, making us feel at home from the first day The ship is in peak condition, so clean, and taken care off that it looks new. Much better than pictures, where usually is the contrary. Cabin was big and clean, with plenty space and an comfortable individual bathroom, also carefully cleaned. And food, food was amazing. Every meal was a buffet with plenty of choices, although since all were delicious, you usually end up eating much more than anticipated. Overall, when I come back to Maldives, I’ll definitely will be back with Giacomo and his crew. Thank you very much for the best diving week of our lives.” Recommended for: Divemasters, cabin, Food.
”Excellent boat and staff with fantastic diving – you can’t go wrong here. This is a very well run dive operation with a fantastic pair of dive managers, Gabriel and Maria. They both really look after you and the experience level of the guiding I received was second to none. (Gabriel is both full cave and tech certified and very experienced). Gabriel the DM and boat manager went way above and beyond to make sure we got in the water at the right time and location to see everything we wanted to. Highly recommend this boat and crew, it was the best liveaboard I’ve done yet.” Recommended for: The dive guide, the condition of the boat, the food.

Soleil 2 is a large, spacious and very well equipped boat Crew & Guides were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable Food and service was superb.” Recommended for: Large spacious Cabin, Fantastic Diving, Good Guides.

It was great to be back on board with Blue Force fleet again.” Recommended for: Instructors/ guides knowledge & experience. Safety. Friendliness of all boat staff. Food. Comfortable cabins.

How to get to the Maldives southern atolls?
The best way to dive the Southern Atolls is by Maldives liveaboard.
No other type of stay in the Maldives can match the number of dive sites you can access, many of which are nearby uninhabited islands that are far from land.
The deep south Maldives liveaboads often depart from the capital Male.
Male is accessible by direct flights from Dubai, Singapore, and Colombo, with inbound international connecting flights from London, the USA, Europe, Australia, China and many other places.
Also, many other southern atoll liveaboards depart from other ports, which include Kadhoo, Koodoo, Laamu, Medfushi, and Gan (in the deep south).
To get to the other departure ports, divers need to take a domestic seaplane flight Male.
When can the Maldives deep south be dived?
Diving the Southern Atolls is possible all year round, with water temperature staying between 26-29°C (78.8°-84.2F). Visibility tends to be excellent too, between 20-30 meters (66-99 feet).
The conditions are ideal during the northeast monsoon, which is from December through April. During the northeast monsoon the seas are much calmer, as the winds are much less at this time of year. Rainfall during this dry season is low too.
