Emperor Divers Maldives

Emperor Serenity Liveaboard - Best of Maldives Scuba Diving Trip - Feb 2017

A week of scuba diving on the amazing Emperor Serenity Liveaboard with great fellow divers and crew… The trip was called ‘The best of the Maldives’ and as always the truly amazing Indian Ocean didn’t disappoint… Here’s the best of twenty (or so) scuba dives squeezed into nine minutes, including some aerial footage using a DJI Mavic Pro Drone.

The boat departed from Male in the Maldives, and we dived in North Male Atoll, North Ari Atoll, South Ari Atoll and also Vaavu Atoll.

Aerial video of Emperor Atoll | Sharktastic | Maldives

Sky-high aerial video of Emperor Voyager on Sharktastic trip. North to South Malé and further south to Vaavu and Meemu and back to Malé. Huge nurse sharks, enormous sting rays and some black tip sharks. Good currents with big schools of jacks, eagle rays and many young grey reef sharks. Turtles and plenty of colourful
anemones with their clown fish the manta rays being cleaned and then mating octopus and a Spanish dancer! Emperor Atoll is the smallest Emperor Liveaboard in the Maldives. I really love the salon that looks like a British library and with only 12 guests it was both friendly and familiar. The Crew is just lovely and made this trip
unforgettable! High recommended company. Thanks to Anders Schumacher for the video and trip report.

Emperor Divers Maldives Mantas

Simply wow. Moving music for pure manta poetry in motion. Shot by BBC cameraman, Mark Sharman, for Emperor Divers, these graceful creatures lift the heart and melt away life’s stresses.

Maldives Magic with the exceptional Emperor Explorer Liveaboard

You’ll want to be there when you watch this. From aerial shots to Jacuzzi to sundeck, cabins, dining room and diving dhoni and that’s just above the ocean. Dive in with us and get up close with lots of sharks, manta rays and fish that only a mother could love – then there are the night dives. Thanks to Andreas Schumacher for such a ‘watch again’ video.
