Southern Cruise

Male’ to Gaaf Dhaal, Gaaf Alif (Huvadhoo Atoll)

Male - Rasdhoo - Ari - Mulaku - Thaa - Laamu - Gaaf Alif - Gaaf Dhaal - (domestic flight Gaafu Dhaalu)

We first head for Rasdhoo atoll (Hammerhead sharks) and then for Ari atoll (Mantas, Whale sharks, Grey reef sharks, superb tilas with soft corals). Continuing on across the unknown southerly atolls such as Mulaku, Thaa and Laamu, we enjoy great channel drift dives with sharks, Eagle Rays, Sting Rays, Tunas, Barracudas, Napoleons, etc. along the way. As an extra bonus we will explore promising unknown reefs.

Early in 2004 we had a chance to dive the Gaaf Dhaal and Gaaf Alif (Huvadhoo) atolls for several weeks. These remote atolls emit an incredible serenity with their numerous uninhabited islands. You may expect untouched reefs and channels with sharks and rays, giant schools of tuna and mackerels. Daily encounters with intact hard coral reefs and enormous schools of dolphins will leave you in awe. Departing from Kaadehdhoo (Gaafu Dhaalu) we take a domestic flight back to Male.

Undoubtedly, this cruise belongs among the top dive safaris available in the Maldives. You will have the opportunity to experience everything this unique island nation has to offer! We take the diver on a miraculous journey to the yet unspoiled reefs in the far south of the Maldives - an outstanding dive safari experience we cannot recommend enough!
