Best photography dive cruise I’ve been on! Honestly, yes the boat it old and stuff, it’s not the Maldives’s latest luxury yacht but every works, the food is good, you sleep well and you get to be with an awesome crew!

The dive sites are still untouched and of course, it’s never crowded so we had such a great time and are just back with a computer full of photos to look at!
Thanks!
