Trip Highlights

Highlight ❶ Hanifaru Bay: A World-Renowned Marine Protected Area

This is where the Manta Storm happens! This is the biggest highlight of our trip. Hanifaru Bay is a strictly regulated marine protected area. There are limits on the number of people allowed in the water at any given time, and entry requires a purchased ticket. Scuba diving is prohibited to maximize the protection of these gentle giants. We've arranged two manta freediving excursions, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
 

Highlight ❷ Swim with Schools of Nurse Sharks

Nurse sharks are known for their docile temperament. Each one measures approximately 150-250cm in length. Unlike other sharks, they feed by suction, drawing food into their mouths before chewing and swallowing.

Unless threatened, nurse sharks are quite gentle and pose no threat to divers.

Experience the thrill of being surrounded by these fascinating sharks in complete safety!

Highlight ❸ Beginner-Friendly Wreck Dive (10m)

This friendly wreck, adorned with colorful coral, has its bow above the water's surface, and the deepest part is only 10 meters below. It's a perfect dive site for freedivers of all levels.
 

Highlight ❹ Three Photographers Documenting Your Adventure

Three professional photographers will accompany us on this trip, including Abao, the founder of Burst Wave Photography, to capture stunning images and videos of your adventures above, in, and under the water!
