Manthiri | Ocean Dancer

Maldives's diving is best reached by live-aboard. Dive Discovery can plan your trip aboard the Manthiri or Ocean Dancer dive boats.

Manthiri

This newly refitted, enlarged and renovated motor vessel is a pleasure to travel on. The large twin/double ensuite cabins are huge with real bathrooms, not closets. The crew knows their stuff, when it comes to diving, feeding, entertaining and relaxing. The Manthiri has six staterooms for a maximum of 12 passengers.

The diving is done from a dhoni that stores all your dive equipment, compressor etc. You never listen to the sound of the compressor filling your tanks. Every dive is started with Monique waltzing through the lounge (waking some up) with "action tim"" And action time it is. Every dive is a new and exciting adventure.

Ocean Dancer

Ocean Dancer in The Maldives

To experience the best of diving in the Maldives, you need to move with the seasons and the currents. Diving from the "Ocean Dancer" allows this and gives you the optimum chance of seeing thrilling animals such as sharks and manta rays.

Your cruise will take you through the atolls to the very best of the dive sites and you can enjoy three dives a day as well as excursions to fishing islands and a range of resort islands on the way. We know all the best dives in the Maldives, and we plan the itinerary for each trip based on local weather conditions. There's no doubt that it's the best way to visit and dive the amazing archipelago of the Maldives Islands.

Ocean Dancer offers accommodations for 16 guests in air-conditioned cabins with en-suite bathrooms. Diving takes place from a separate, dive support vessel to maximize comfort and safety. We offer good facilities for photographers and videographers including video service.

Ocean Dancer has been built to suit the highest standard of service for the diving market and is proudly part of the world class live aboard "Peter Hughes Dancer Fleet".
