40 m · 26 guests · 13 cabins
Spirit of Maldives is a 40-metre vessel built in 2024 — one of the newest boats in the Maldivian dive fleet. Thirteen cabins across three decks take up to 26 guests: seven on the lower deck, two on the main deck and four on the upper deck. Every cabin has its own bathroom with hot water, individually controlled air conditioning, a safe, a wardrobe, a hair dryer and toiletries; on the main and upper decks the portholes give way to full-wall panoramic windows.
The vessel was purpose-built for diving. Dives run from a dedicated 20-metre dhoni, while the yacht keeps a shaded dive deck with rinse hoses and a separate tank for underwater camera gear. Nitrox is included in the price — refills and tanks cost nothing extra — and DIN adaptors are on board. Night dives are included as well.
Up top there is a sun deck with loungers and a jacuzzi, an observation deck and outdoor showers; the main deck has a teak stern with sofas, a bar and an air-conditioned saloon with a library of books and documentaries. There is a camera station with charging points. The galley works à la carte, and the programme includes beach BBQs, marine biology talks and guided walks through local villages. Internet is Starlink, charged separately.
The itineraries cover almost the whole archipelago: a week-long loop of the central atolls, ten-night runs to the mantas of Hanifaru and the northern atolls, equatorial trips to the deep south with a one-way domestic flight, and long expeditions to Hanimaadhoo in the far north.

The same central atoll loop stretched over ten nights. The extra time allows a deeper push into Ari and Vaavu, more distant sites and a second run at the best spots when the current is right.

A ten-night run north through Baa, Raa and Lhaviyani. The main target is the UNESCO biosphere reserve and Hanifaru Bay, where plankton season draws in dozens of mantas and whale sharks. Coral gardens and thilas of the northern atolls along the way.

A long crossing past the equator and back: from the central atolls to the deep south, to the channels of Huvadhoo and Addu. Hammerheads, grey reef sharks, mantas and the wreck of the tanker British Loyalty. Currents are strong — drift diving experience required.

A separate ten-night departure built around mantas: the Hanifaru reserve in Baa Atoll and the cleaning stations of the central atolls. The best window is the south-west monsoon, when plankton pulls the rays into the bay by the dozen.
August 2026
1 departureDeep South Beyond the Equator (Male – Kooddoo – Gan)
The winter and spring block of southern departures. The Male – Kooddoo and Kooddoo – Male crossings pass seven atolls in a row, while the shorter Kooddoo – Gan and Gan – Kooddoo legs are given over entirely to the equatorial shark channels. One-way domestic flight required.

The longest programme on the boat — eleven to twelve nights up to the northern tip of the archipelago. Haa Alif and Haa Dhaalu are barely visited by other vessels: untouched reefs, big pelagics and dive sites that do not yet have names. One-way domestic flight required.
