• For passenger comfort and optimal use of space on board, all diving equipment is stored on the dive dhoni that accompanies the yacht. In the Maldives, these dive support vessels are called dhonis. This separation of the main vessel and dive boat makes the yacht more spacious while also streamlining dive operations, as all equipment is kept in one place and the dhoni’s stability and low freeboard make entries easier from its dive platform.
