Sea Explorer Maldives

Sea Explorer Maldives runs scheduled liveaboard departures from Malé covering the central atoll loop (North Malé, South Malé, Ari, Vaavu) on shorter weeks, and the southern atoll routes (Huvadhoo, Addu) on 10-night specials. Itineraries shift seasonally to follow plankton — the Hanifaru extension June-November, the central-south sweep December-April. Three- or four-dive days are standard, with a dhoni shadow boat handling tanks and weights so the main vessel stays a hotel platform.

Pricing is quoted locally in USD or EUR; THB-equivalent shown here for comparison, per-person trip cost. Suits committed divers wanting maximum site variety in a single trip and accepting that the boat is the holiday. Less suited to non-divers travelling along, to budget travellers, or to newer divers — most departures require Advanced Open Water with channel-diving experience.
