• For passenger comfort and to maximise space on board, all diving equipment is kept on the dedicated dive dhoni that accompanies the yacht. In the Maldives these dive boats are called dhonis. This separation of the main vessel and the dive dhoni makes the yacht more spacious while also streamlining dive operations, since all gear is kept in one place, and the stability and low freeboard of the dhoni make entries from its dive platform straightforward.
