Is it right for you?

Seniors

Possible for seniors, with care: Diving needs a medical fitness check and comfort with currents on the channel dives, so it suits active, certified divers more than beginners

Getting around

Little walking

From our own trip notes. Tell your captain about anyone's mobility, age or food needs and we confirm the details for your dates.

The story

Your journey outline

Each stage can cover one or more days. Tell us what you would change; your final itinerary is agreed before booking.

1. Stage 01 Arrival & Check Dive

   Arrive, transfer out, and go straight into the practicalities: gear fitting, weight check and a shallow checkout dive on the house reef in the afternoon. It is a formality for certified divers and the first real breath underwater for anyone doing Discover Scuba, and both are taken seriously.

2. Stage 02 Manta Day

   Manta day. The cleaning stations are coral outcrops where mantas come to hover while wrasse work over them, and the dive is a matter of settling on the sand at a respectful distance and waiting. When a four-metre animal comes in over your head, nobody ever remembers to check their gauge.

3. Stage 03 Channels

   Channel dives, where the tide runs between atolls and everything big comes to feed in it. You drop in, hook on or drift, and grey reef sharks, eagle rays and schooling jacks come past in the current. It is the most exhilarating diving in the country and it is entirely about timing the tide.

4. Stage 04 Night Dive

   The night dive, which is the one people are nervous about and then talk about for years. Torch off for a minute and the water lights up with bioluminescence as you move a hand through it. Turtles sleep wedged under coral heads, and the reef swaps its entire day shift for a different cast.

5. Stage 05 Last Dives

   Two morning dives, then the no-fly clock starts, so the afternoon is a hammock whether you like it or not. Twenty-four hours between your last dive and the flight is not negotiable and the schedule is built around it rather than pushed against it.

6. Stage 06 The Return

   Transfer to Male and fly home. Six days, eight to ten guided dives, and a logbook with manta cleaning stations and a channel drift in it, which are two of the entries divers everywhere else are slightly jealous of.
