The beautiful 85 foot (25 metre) live-aboard custom designed for dive cruises and heavily built of fine tropical timber by local craftsmen using traditional techniques and modern glues with no compromise on the quality of boat fittings and equipment.
The vessel's wide beam of 25 foot (7.6 metre) contributes towards a stable hull and spacious cabins accommodating up to 12 divers in four twins and two doubles with queen size beds. All cabins have minibars, locker and drawers for clothes with luggage stowage under the bed, and large ensuites finished in gleaming white with hot water showers and hair dryers. The vessel has individually controlled air-conditioning throughout.
 
   

Centered mainly in the north of the country, our tours, the fruit of years of experience and new discoveries, offer the best combination of dive sites, given the time of the year. The tours are mainly of 10 day, 7 day and 5 day duration. For those who prefer 10 days or longer charters, they can combine two consecutive short tours. The tours are designed for whale shark and rich fish-life sightings year-round with schooling mantas thrown in June to October. While we do not guarantee the sightings of the big pelagics, the chance of encountering them is very high, indeed.
Manthiri also offer a special tour covering the southernmost atolls of Maldives, Huvadhoo and Addu. These remote atolls, little visited by tourists, offer colorful coral reefs. The channels abound with sharks. Recommended tours of minimum
10 days of duration. The best time for a south tour is mid February to mid April.
