Maldives

What better way to explore the rich waters of this marine paradise than from the exclusive liveaboard MY Monsoon, cruising between the atolls and countless tropical Islands, and visiting the huge variety of stunning dive sites!

Situated off the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, the Maldives is one of the most idyllic holiday destinations in the world.  The Maldives is an archipelago consisting of a group of 1190 coral islands in 25 atolls which emerge from the Indian Ocean.  The unique geographical situation of this archipelago makes it the perfect place to experience a liveaboard diving cruise.

Stretching over 820km from north to south and reaching 128km at its widest point the Maldives has around 90 resort, 200 local and 900 uninhabited islands.  Approximately 60 percent of the Maldives archipelago remains unexplored by scuba divers making each visit an adventure rather than a holiday.

Air temperatures average around 30 degrees and water temperatures between 27 and 30 degrees all year round.
