MV Ari Queen dive boat review
The 33 meters Ari Queen is a Maldives Liveaboard, taking you to the most famous atolls such as north and south Male as well as the Ari Atolls. Built in 2009, the Ari Queen is lucky to have an on-board team who’s experience is older than the dive boat (+/- 15 years!).

Vessel Layout
The Ari Queen offers amazing scuba diving routes in the Maldives. It’s a stable vessel, equipped with the latest technologies and safety features.
The Ari Queen can compare to the Amba, which was built in 2004, is slightly bigger and hosting the same number of guests. That being said, the Ari Queen is a newer boat and slightly faster than it’s counterpart.

Hi divers!
This boat, looks good to me ? Can anyone tell me about their personal experience ?
I’m looking forward to book a nice vessel but need a reasonable price ! The Ari Queen seems nice, i’d like a individual’s thought on that though! Or I was looking into the Sachika … Any comparison ?
Thank you!
I´ve been 3 times (December 2017, 2018 and 2019) on this boat. The fact that I was 3 times, and I hope many, many more, says it all. Excellent dives and the best food ever!
