Maldives Liveaboard Diving

A typical bucket-list destination for many divers, the Maldives combines over 1,200 stunning tropical islands with an underwater paradise. Brimming with marine wildlife, the pelagic sightings in the Maldives are spectacular. Adrenaline-filled channel drift dives can have you encounter mantas, eagle rays and various sharks such as whitetip, blacktip, oceanic silvertip, nurse and lemon shark, just to name a few.

Aside from the channel dives, diving the reefs and thilas – seamounts that host manta cleaning stations – are equally exciting. The abundance of marine life in the Maldives can be attributed to the ideal growing conditions, the turquoise waters provide plenty of nutrients for the coral reef while manta rays and whale sharks feed from the plankton as well.

Blue Voyager welcomes 26 divers on board with spacious modern comfort, providing the best Maldivian diving experience.

Blue Voyager is a 37m, steel-hulled vessel that boasts three roomy double cabins and ten twin cabins. She features an indoor dining area, a bar, and a sky lounge, as well as a Jacuzzi. A shaded outdoor lounge area can be found on the mid deck, plus four different sun decks: a viewing deck located at the front of both the mid deck and upper deck, an open-air deck on the top deck, and an ocean deck at the stern of the boat, all providing comfortable seating and loungers.

The ocean deck is a unique feature allowing guests to relax in the open air while close to the water. On many evenings the floodlights will illuminate the water just off the ocean deck to attract plankton which brings the manta rays and whale sharks. There have been many close sightings of feeding mantas and whale sharks. Have your camera ready.

One of the most outstanding features of Blue Voyager is the custom-built dhoni (diving support vessel) Blue Shadow. This 19m dhoni is spacious, fast, and equipped with all the modern conveniences that divers want. Each diver has their own station with plenty of space to store their gear and kit up, and the dhoni crew is ready to assist. During the journeys to and from the dive sites, you can ascend the small stairs to the top deck to enjoy the sun and stunning views. There is a toilet with a shower located inside the main deck plus two handheld showers on the back deck, and separate camera and equipment rinse tanks. A fast engine, two generators, and two compressors with a nitrox membrane system mean you will enjoy a first-rate diving experience in the Maldives.
