A cruise to discover the wildest atolls and remotest coral sea-beds of the Maldives. Sailing Northeast from Male in the direction of Ari and Male Sud, fast becoming the two new frontiers for underwater diving and marine tourism in the Indian Ocean. Wide lagoons surround the islands and long white strips of sand stretch out into the sea in ever-changing patterns. Below the surface of this crystal clear water thousands of tropical fish wait to be admired. For the more experienced underwater divers there is the thrill of meeting manta rays and sharks moving languidly through the canals that link the lagoons to the ocean. Above water, in the small fishing villages, travellers are greeted and made welcome with genuine kindness and interest. A journey that focuses on the Maldives from a new perspective.
