WONDERS OF THE NORTHERN ATOLLS​


Atolls: North Male Atoll – Lhaviyani Atoll – Noonu Atoll – Raa Atoll – Baa Atoll – Rasdhu Atoll – Ari Atoll


Journey and dive through North Male Atoll and cross the mighty Karshidu Channel to the Northern Atolls. These atolls boast their own unique charm and beauty and are renowned for their spectacular dive sites and diverse marine life.  


While we see mantas throughout the year on this itinerary, from May to October we offer a slight variation. Baa Atoll is home to Hanifaru lagoon which is a UNESCO Marine Reserve and during south west season (May to October) it is known for large numbers of manta rays and whale sharks congregating to feed on the plankton swept in by the prevailing current, this is a mesmerizing spectacle.  Only snorkeling is allowed in Hanifaru, but the experience is nothing short of extraordinary. 


Our 10 night itinerary will venture on through the Northern Atolls to unveil a plethora of remarkable dive sites including the Shark Nursery, Horobadhoo Thila, Shipwreck Graveyard and Christmas Rock, to name but a few. Each dive reflects the Maldives’ natural beauty and rich marine biodiversity. We visit manta cleaning stations throughout the year which are an absolute highlight of diving in the Maldives.

Roatan, Honduras! - September 5th-12th - 2026

Additional Information

We have run a shop trip ten years in a row now to the wonderful island of Roatan Honduras! We have the absolutely BEST deal around without cutting corners. The Mayan Princess beac and dive resort is absolutely beautiful and the diving is world class. We saw at least one turtle on EVERY dive on all four trips and the reef is in absolutely wonderful condition. Truly an experience you should partake in.


We will be departing BWI Airport on Saturday September 5th and returning on Saturday September 12th, 2026..


Heard that Honduras isn't the best place to visit? Worried about your safety? This resort is located on Roatan which is an island off the main coast of Honduras. We felt very safe and never had one issue while exploring the island. The main source of income is tourism so they treat visitors right!


Not a diver? Don't worry! The resort has some of the most pristine beach we have ever seen and several pools including a lagoon style pool next to the bar! There is also plenty to do if your'e not the "lay in the sun" type. From zip-lining adventures, jungle tours, monkey experiences, to shopping, you won't be bored in Roatan! 


This is an ALL INCLUSIVE trip which means you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Let us do the work, you just relax and enjoy your vacation. Everything from airport transfers, diving, and food, to drinks (alcohol included), and access to the beach, everything is included in this package price.​
