DEEP SOUTH MALDIVES DESCENDING/ASCENDING

The DEEP SOUTH MALDIVES DESCENDING/ASCENDING route covers 6 atolls south of Male': KAAFU ATOLL, VAAVU ATOLL, MEEMU ATOLL, THAA ATOLL, LAAMU ATOLL, GAAFU ALIFU ATOLL. It is the go-to / come-back section of the southern Maldives trip.
 
Starting from Male', our southern Maldives trip takes you all the way south down to the last atoll of Maldives in the southern hemisphere. Usually from January to March, when the right water and weather conditon prevail, we are given the opportunity to dive in this amazing far south area of Maldives. During this period of the year, in the south, water pours into the atolls from the out seas, bringing spectacular things, especially the big ones into the channels in the atolls. Manta ray, whale shark, tiger shark and many other species of sharks, It is a feast of marine giants to your eyes which you’ll never forget. 
However, it is because of such challenging water condition, divers are demanded to have high diving experience to participate in the southern Maldives trip, regardless which route is taken.
