Baa Atoll

• You'll spend two days anchored in the Hanifaru Bay area, alongside the biggest seasonal congregation of manta rays in the world.
• Throughout the day our liveaboard will be in contact with rangers monitoring the area by drones. When the mantas arrive, we'll cruise the dive dhoni into the bay for an hour of guided snorkeling alongside these gentle giants. You can repeat this excursion by dinghy as many times as your heart desires (additional entry fees apply). This is a real privilege as diving here has been forbidden since 2012.
• The surrounding underwater playground offers multiple shallow manta cleaning stations that can be accessed by both diving and snorkeling.
• Additionally, you can experience the famous Dhonfanu Thila and Dharavandhoo Thila - Maldivian underwater mountains that are covered in vibrant soft corals and rich, macro life
