The Maldives is one of the last great shark destinations on earth. Since 2010, the entire country has been a shark sanctuary, and it shows. Reef sharks patrol the channels, whale sharks glide through the blue, and in the far south the big pelagic hunters cruise the current. One honest word before we start, because we would rather set the right expectation than sell you a fairy tale. This is the open ocean, not a zoo. Nobody can promise you a specific shark on a specific dive.

Short answer: there is no single best time to dive the Maldives. There is a best time for what you want to see. The Maldives runs on two monsoons, and they move the marine life around the atolls almost on a schedule. Sharks and clear water sit at one end of the year. Feeding mantas and whale sharks sit at the other. Manta rays and sea turtles stay with you the whole time. Once you know which season does what, planning gets easy. Let us walk you through it.

A new reef is growing on the house reef at BREEZE - North Bali Ocean Resort. We built it in cooperation with Reefvillage.org, a non-profit initiative dedicated to protecting and restoring marine ecosystems worldwide through the construction of artificial coral reefs, ocean cleanups, and educational school programs. This is coral restoration you can watch on a single dive, right off our own beach. The first structure is fully stocked and the corals are taking hold. A second on

We could tell you what makes our liveaboards special. But honestly, our guests do it better. They're the ones who've seen with their own eyes what we promise and who can tell you whether the exp

When is the best time to dive Komodo? In short: The best time to dive Komodo is April to November, the dry season, when visibility is at its peak and the seas are calm. Manta rays are the exception to every rule here, because they follow the plankton, not the calendar. The biggest manta aggregations come with the green season, roughly December to March, especially in the south. The shoulder months, April to May and September to October, give you the best of both worlds: settl

Nitrox is especially beneficial for liveaboard diving, where multiple dives per day can quickly lead to nitrogen build-up when diving on air. So, you’ve booked your dream cruise with us at EcoProDivers. You’re dreaming of the vibrant reefs and deep channel dives of the Maldives or the exciting currents of Komodo.
