Gulfaam’s On-board Facilities

The Gulfaam’s main deck is where divers get together and relax. Indeed, there are social areas inside, but also at the bow and at the very back. Plus, the top deck is an entire sundeck area, the favourite spot of the sun chasers! First, there’s a small, but cozy, indoor salon with a television, music and DVD player. Secondly, outside you will be happy to find a large area to lounge at the bow, with mats, a table, and chairs. Finally, head to the rear of the Gulfaam to find a nice dining area where freshly prepared dishes are served. Plus, at dinner time it often offers a perfect Maldives sunset landscape.
