Just returned from an unforgettable GTS liveaboard dive trip in the Maldives, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized, thanks in large part to Amy, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. She was always available, super friendly, and genuinely invested in making the trip special for each guest.
The dives were spectacular! We saw everything from vibrant coral reefs to manta rays, sharks, and massive schools of fish. Every dive offered something unique, and the variety of sites kept the whole trip exciting. What made it even better was the team of fantastic local dive guides, who were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also took the time to understand each group's experience level and interests. They gave personalized briefings, were meticulous about safety, and created a relaxed, supportive atmosphere underwater.
The Maldives are known for their currents, so I would advise prospective divers to be fit and ready to swim! Know your level of experience before signing up. The guides always made it clear when a certain dive would involve more current, so maybe sit out on some of the more advanced sites if you aren't comfortable. Initial groups were allocated by number of dives but were reshuffled after assessment which helped everyone get the best experience.
