14 nights on the Seascape liveaboard 🏝️
If you like the following, this trip might be for you!
Spectacular Diving 🤿
Big schools of fish, thriving reefs, big pelagics and island that you usually only see in a travel brochure. This is what this trip to the Maldives is all about: the best diving in the most paradise circumstances. It's a true *getaway* for divers that love the exotic.
Experienced Triplead ⚓
Our Tripleader Peter Löseke has been to the Maldives for over 20 times. He knows the atolls, the reefs and the divesites in and out. He is the guy that can bring you to that special spot, and make shots of you with the animals you always dreamed of! Oh and he also loves a nice sunset beer!
Wonderful Nightdives 🌌
The absolute highlight of this trip are the breathtaking night dives! Not only will we be diving reefs after sundown, the headlamps on the back of the boat and our torches will attract mantas charging in out of nowhere. And, if we are lucky, there might even be a whaleshark popping up feeding on plankton!
Flexibility Wins 🗺️
We are taking on this adventure without a set itinerary, and with good reason. Diving in the Maldives, as in may other places, is heavily reliant on weather conditions. This flexibility allows us to quickly shift and handcraft the best next dive on the spot!
Paradise Destination 🌏
The Maldives is a heaven on earth destination: turquoise waters, stellar sunsets and tropical weather. It's the perfect place to press the pause button and breathe in the natural beauty on show. We might even sneak out to a deserted island to see what paradise really looks like.
A Fresh Boat 🛥️
The Seascape is a state of the art liveaboard that is perfectly designed and equipped to safely host a 14 night dive adventure. Comfortable and luxurious, it's the quality you count on when diving the Indian Ocean. Tons of space and a local crew as well!
Best of Maldives
"Since the 90's I have been diving the pristine Maldivian waters. Since then, very little has changed: waters full of life, white sandy beaches and after dive cocktails with fellow ocean enthusiasts. This extended trip offers us the chance to take the time at spots we love more and give us full flexibility to make the best trip imaginable."

Itinerary
We are organizing this trip without a fixed itinerary in order to remain flexible and take the freedom to stay longer at the particularly impressive sites.
Our rough route first takes us to the south, where we dive in the channels with dozens of sharks and eagle rays and are amazed by the diversity of the underwater world. We continue to the Ari Atoll, where at this time of year we have the best chance of encountering whale sharks and manta rays.
Of course, it should be noted that nature has its own laws and not everything is always predictable. Nevertheless, we will use our knowledge and experience to make this special trip an unforgettable experience.
Particularly impressive are our night dives, where we have the unique opportunity to dive with manta rays in the spotlight or snorkel with whale sharks. These magical moments underline the enchantment of the Maldives.
During our tour we explore secluded sandy beaches where we enjoy the unique atmosphere with breathtaking sunsets and a cozy beer.
