The Flying Fish is a traditional Maldives liveaboard that is extremely popular with guests that are looking for a good value dive safari that still offers excellent diving and good service without breaking the bank.

At 26 metres long the Flying Fish has ample room onboard for the 14 guests that she can accommodate in 7 cabins, all of which are en-suite. There are 3 decks on the Flying Fish, with the lower deck being where all cabins are situated.

The main deck is split into a 40m² saloon with plenty of comfortable seating and features a TV and; DVD system, and the huge rear deck that has 30m² of shaded area which is a great spot for relaxing after dives. You can chill here and admire the changing tropical secenery as the Flying Fish cruises past the remote Maldives atolls to the next dive area. The top deck is devoted to those that want to catch a bit of sun, something that you will have plenty of in the Maldives.

The Flying Fish has an accompanying dive dhoni. All your scuba equipment is simply set up once and left on the dhoni for the duration of your Maldives diving safari. The tanks (which have both DIN and INT valves) are all filled in place on the dhoni, meaning that the Flying Fish has no noisy compressors to spoil your appreciation of the beautiful surroundings.

A maximum of only 14 guests on board means that you can be assured of personal treatment and that you will be scuba diving in a relatively small group - something that cannot always be said of Maldives liveaboards in the same price range.
