Scuba Diving with the Maldives Aggressor II
All diving from the Aggressor boat is done from the dhoni – Maldivian word for a diving tender – which operates as a fully equipped diving platform. Indeed, this leaves the main boat clean and more spacious while insuring easy access closer to the dive sites onboard the dhoni. You will find individual gear locker and stations, a camera table, separate rinse tanks, and much more on the diving tender. Plus, the Maldives Aggressor II features both air and nitrox compressors, so you can maximize your bottom time.
Scuba diving in the Maldives is definitely one of the best experience you can hope for as a diver, but keep in mind that marine currents are prevalent in the area. Indeed, make sure that you have the level and skills before you book such a trip… it will not only make it safer but also more enjoyable for you!
Price starts at 3,010$US for an 8 days/7 nights diving cruise

Other Liveaboard Reviews in Maldives
There were 20 of us on the MV Maldives Agressor but the boat crews were always happy assisting us. I met them first in the Male airport where they greeted us and advised us of our schedule to transfer on the boat on the same day. We had a lovely dinner where everybody got introduced to the crew. To my delight, dinner was great and I had a very sound sleep after.
My room on board MV Maldives Agressor was air conditioned and had a private bathroom. They also provided the hair dryer. We woke up early at 6 am for a light breakfast and we had a briefing before our first dive.
Each day we had four dives. We went around with a large dhoni that also carried our oxygen tanks. The crew was always assistive in taking care of our equipments. On board, we had a camera rinsing stations, chargers and a camera table for our convenience.
On some occasions, we had to use a reef anchor due to strong currents but it was no biggie. We were always excited to discover what we could find underwater. There were groupers, tuna, giant trevallies, turtles, wrasse, manta rays, frogfish, moray eels, bat fishes and sharks.
One of my favorite dive spot was the Broken Rock that looked like a rock split in half if you look at it on a map. We had to enter the canyon one by one. It was covered by soft corals and there were beautiful fan corals too.
