I'm running a special Manta & Whale Shark Expedition this summer to Hanifaru in Baa Atoll, Maldives. I have now confirmed the charter of the boat, and the details are as follows:
2nd-9th August 2010 aboard the Atoll Cruiser
Price includes:
Full board accommodation and meals (inc. one large bottle of water pp per day, and free water with meals)
3 guided dives per day, plus one night dive during the week. (Experienced divers may dive alone if they prefer)
Minimum 14 pax, max 18.
Price $1700 (does not include flights)
This area has received a fair bit of coverage recently, particularly by the BBC and National Geographic. You may also have read an article about it in the March edition of Diver.
It is still one of the lesser visited dive sites in the Maldives and is a unique opportunity to experience Mantas and Whale Sharks. We will also be diving some of the other sites in Baa Atoll.
Feel free to PM me if you need any more details.
