One of the most memorable experiences - They were so nice I accidentally booked a different day and realized it one day before the activity it was too late to cancel or adjust it online but they were being flexible and nice to me. Dolphins were so friendly and adorable, and we asked them to record a video of snorkeling in the sea (it's only 20USD for 2 people) and it was super beautiful!! We're so satisfied. We highly recommend this tour!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! - It was my first time traveling solo and they made it memorable and fun. The staff in the boat are very welcoming and accommodating. I didn't feel alone the whole duration of the tour. Everyone's nice. I'd like to commend the team for taking care of us during our trip and for also taking care of me the boat is equipped with first aid kit because I scratched my knee during snorkeling. Overall experience was fun and amazing. I will recommend this tour to my friends.

Liveaboard. Formidable tour along and through a number of atolls. - Company consisted of 18 Brabanders. Immediately after arrival in Male brought to the boat. And made 21 dives the following days. Some dives on beautiful colorful coral reefs. I didn't know they had such magnificent reefs here. But most dives made in Canels. (Transit between 2 reefs, in and out of an atoll. Flow in or out and there it is to do!!). 3 dives with more than 100 sharks. And 3 super manta dives at the 1st reef south of Moofushi 5*. Including 1 night dive. you don't know what you're going through.
