MV Blue Voyager operates year-round, alternating her schedule between the Northern and Southern Atolls, trips into the deep south and Hanifaru Bay as well as specific trips such as ‘The Best of the Maldives.’ The deep south trips are specifically known for Manta Rays and Whalesharks and you may even be fortunate enough to witness schooling Hammerheads around Rasdhoo – Read more.

Passports should be valid for at least 6 months and include a Machine Readable Zone (MRZ). All tourists entering the Maldives can obtain a 30-day visa, free of charge. Fees apply to visits exceeding this time period. If you are unsure, please check with an embassy within your home country. Access to the Maldives is via the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport, also known as Male International Airport.
– rather than operating small tenders or dinghy’s, the Blue Voyager utilises a Dhoni with its own dedicated crew. This Dhoni is the dedicated dive platform allowing the crew the flexibility to manoeuvre divers into exacting positions over the dive sites.
Accommodation is provided via 13 spacious cabins with 3 doubles and 10 twins. All cabins are furnished with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms.
Outside of individual cabins, Blue Voyager boasts an indoor salon, indoor and outdoor dining areas, Sky lounge & bar and a jacuzzi to relax and enjoy the sunset in. With two upper sundeck areas, you can be sure to find your relaxation space anywhere onboard.
World-renowned for its beauty, the Maldives is a cluster of 26 atolls in the Indian Ocean. The islands are simply beautiful with white sands and a large number of luxury resorts to cater to the relaxation expected of a tropical getaway. The Maldives are effected by 2 seasons dictated by the changing wind. During the monsoon season, December to May, the wind blows northeast, and water visibility is 20-30m with the calmest sea conditions in the east and a reduction of visibility to 10-20m in the east.
The remainder of the year sees a reversal of the wind and an increase in the sea swell creating choppier conditions but also a reversal of the visibility conditions east to west. Be sure to select your trip wisely as some of the destinations can be tricky for new divers and conversely there are many reefs more suitable to the lesser experienced diver. Whichever you need you can count on the Maldives being a superb adventure.
