Far North + Makundhu

New on the schedule – the tour all the way to the far north of the Maldives combined with the almost never-dived Makunudhoo Atoll.

We start in Malé. With stops in Baa and Raa Atoll, sharks and plenty of fish are pretty much guaranteed. From Raa Atoll onwards, it gets exciting. We’ve already discovered some great sites in Makundhu Atoll and are sure we’ll find many more great spots there.

It’s not just that we’ll be diving completely on our own there – the journey there and back also feels like a real safari again. We’re looking forward to visiting thilas we haven’t dived in a long time.

Not only will we visit manta cleaning stations in Raa Atoll, we’ll also often snorkel with mantas. The tour is regularly run together with Manta Trust.
