Diving Facilities
Diving is carried out from a "diving dhoni" that will not anchor but will follow the divers from the surface. This is the safest and most comfortable way to dive in the Maldives due to the wind and current.
Every diver will have his own seat and his own basket where he will store his diving gear, which will always remain on the diving dhoni. The system leaves the main boat free to handle accommodations, meals and social activities in a quiet atmosphere.
Most guests make up to 3-4 dives a day, so some sort of protection is needed. There will also be night dives. Tanks, air tanks, weights and weight belts are included. The crew of the Maldives Aggressor with their unique combination of talents offers the ultimate service. While on board you may pick a buddy of your choice or dive with a crew member. There is ample storage space for your diving equipment in your personal locker onboard the main boat. Tanks and equipment will stay on the dhoni (dive tenders) and there is space to keep masks, fins and other dive items under your seat if you wish to leave them on the dhoni.

Tanks, Weights and Weight Belts

Scuba equipment, Nitrox, Dive insurance, Torches
