Monsoon 18/01/09 - 25/01/09

Monsoon is a one of a kind.  No other boat operating in the Maldives today offers quite the same experience or quality.  A spacious 36m, this steel hulled beauty makes light work of the travels between the dive sites.  The saloon is roomy with plenty of space to lay out all that photo kit.  A large plasma screen serves as a perfect way to check the day’s photographic efforts.  The back dive deck offers room to kit up, rinse tanks for after the dive and a friendly crew ready to gently hand your camera over.

After a short seaplane transfer to Kuredu (approx. 45mins) you will board the Monsoon for 7 nights on a full board basis diving the remote Northern Atolls of the Maldives. Return flights depart on 25th Januray 2009.
