All cabins are equipped with a bathroom, shower, mirror, towels, and individually controlled air conditioning.

Meals:

Meals are served three times a day in the spacious and cozy salon; the cuisine is varied and delicious. Both local and international dishes are served buffet-style. If you have special dietary needs, such as a vegetarian diet or allergies, please let us know before your arrival so that the crew can make the necessary arrangements and ensure you are well taken care of.

Main Deck:

The main deck features a fan-cooled salon with a dining area and comfortable sofas and armchairs, as well as a cozy bar offering a selection of drinks. At the rear of the main deck, meals can also be enjoyed outdoors at a large table with spectacular views. There is also a beer tap on deck, as well as a charging station and a dedicated storage space for photographers.

Sun Deck:

On the sun deck, you’ll find plenty of lounge chairs, beanbags, and space to relax.  

Diving:

Diving takes place from the spacious dhoni, where the equipment remains throughout the tour and where tanks are refilled after each dive.

The maximum depth for diving in the Maldives is 30 meters. Your maximum dive depth depends on your training level and experience. Dives are led by excellent and highly experienced Maldivian guides who can accommodate almost any request. Decompression diving, solo diving, and technical diving are strictly prohibited.

We recommend that you bring the following:
mask, snorkel, fins, boots, wetsuit, regulator, BCD, SMB (with a minimum length of 5 meters during the safety stop), and a dive computer with spare batteries and a flashlight for night dives. The average water temperature is 29°C. We recommend a 3mm shorty or wetsuit. Rental equipment is available in limited quantities. Rental equipment must be
requested before the trip. We need information about your wetsuit size, weight, height, and shoe size to prepare the correct-sized equipment for you.
All divers must use a dive computer and an SMB, and must carry a reef hook on every dive and a flashlight on night dives. Please bring your own equipment or ask us what is available on board. The use of gloves is not permitted.

Tanks & Adapters:
We have 12-liter DIN tanks and INT adapters on board.

Electricity:

The boats have 110/120V AC and 220/240V, 3-pin UK outlets. We assume no liability for any damage caused by alternating current.

Insurance:

We require all divers to have valid insurance that covers diving accidents. You must bring proof of this and present it at check-in. We assume no liability and will not cover costs such as hyperbaric chamber treatment or transportation expenses.

Important Information!!!

Due to a change in DAN Europe’s insurance terms, we are required to request a medical fitness certificate for all divers aged 75 or older. The medical clearance certificate must confirm your fitness for diving as well as your general state of health. This certificate must be sent directly to Eco Pro Divers by DAN for approval of diving activities, so that we can verify insurance eligibility for our customers in advance. Please don’t forget to specify the boat and the trip date! No diving activities may take place until the criteria for the respective customer have been clarified with DAN and approved. Please send the medical clearance form to info@ecoprodivers.com so that we can request approval from DAN for participation in diving activities before your arrival.

Passport and Visa:

Every guest must have a passport that remains valid for at least another 6 months from the date of arrival. A 30-day visa is issued free of charge to all nationalities at the immigration counter at Male Airport. All guests must be in possession of a return or onward flight ticket. The electronic entry declaration must be completed at https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv/ 96 hours prior to arrival. Take a photo of the QR code and present it upon request.
