We are offering a another unique dive holiday liveaboard with Tony Backhurst Holidays.

One of the richest coral reef areas in the World, boasting over 70 species of coral, the Maldives are a divers paradise. The waters abound with life. Dolphins and Mantas are seen daily, Eagle rays are almost commonplace, and experienced divers making channel crossings are guaranteed to see large numbers of Grey Sharks....

Nautilus II is a brand new vessel. Nautilus II is even more spacious and luxurious and at 43m length one of the largest liveaboards operating in the Maldives. Guests are accommodated in 12 large cabins, each with twin or double option, fully air conditioned and with private bathroom (hot and cold water, flush toilets, and massage shower). There are extensive deck areas for sunbathing or relaxing with a book in the shade or in one of the two Whirlpools!
The saloon is comfortably furnished, the bar serves draught beer, wine spirits, and cocktails. Soft drinks, fresh juice, tea, and coffee. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are are prepared everyday with a combination of Asian, Maldivian and European food. On every trip there is a beach BBQ taken on one of the uninhabited islands. There is also an opportunity to explore some of the fishing villages and meet the local inhabitants.
Diving is conducted from the Nautilus II 16 metre Diving Dhoni, where all tanks, and dive equipment are stowed during the trip. There are three dives a day with the occasional night dive. Cylinders are 12 litre and 14 litre. Nitrox is available.
