In April a group of South Africans was afforded a rare opportunity to explore the southernmost atolls of the Maldives aboard the Ocean Dancer. Owner David and his wife Gaelle were taking a break from their usual charter schedule and invited a few guests to join them in a trip down south. Whilst we did not see any of the large pelagics (whale sharks & mantas) we had pristine diving on virtually untouched reefs and spent a wonderful two weeks working our way back up north. In sharp contrast to the Red Sea, we did not see another liveaboard until we approached Male. The quality of the corals was superb and while the trip was not quite what I had expected it was still very much a worthwhile endeavor.
