Additional Information
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.
