December 2012	one of the best dive destinations ever. Date posted: 12-Aug-2013 03:23 by: rcanalli
August 2009	Challenging diving but well worth the effort Date posted: 13-Aug-2009 14:40 by: Colin
October 2007	Dived on MV Monsoon on an itinery of Northern Atolls. The Boat, dive guides, food etc were all of a fantastic standard. Not the best time of year for visibilty but we still hadf some fantastic diving. Date posted: 24-Nov-2007 22:50 by: neatdiver
September 2004	A great relaxing holiday. Loads of manta rays (especially at Manta Point) Usually dive sites are empty but there will be one or two (such as Manta Point) that are 'tourist spots' and will be busy Date posted: 07-Mar-2007 23:44 by: justacey
December 2006	Coral was very poor in comparison with the southern Red Sea, nature has impacted this most significantly rather than building or diving activity. Lots of fish life and sharks on almost every dive. Currents were variable and could be challenging. Date posted: 07-Jan-2007 18:51 by: Hilary
July 2006	Good dive. Lots of sharks and Moray eels. Great dive site with lots of overhangs. Date posted: 12-Jul-2006 09:10 by: alex
June 2006	Amazing trip with amazing dives, worth a visit any time of teh year. Fishhead was the best dive out of 15 dives. Date posted: 12-Jul-2006 09:07 by: alex
June 2006	We stayed for a week on the Atoll Explorer too and this meant we got to dive lots of different sites in different Atolls during our stay. There was quite a bit of plankton in the water on some of the dives. Weather wasnt too bad either, but we did have some strong currents on nearly all the dives.

October 2005	Stunning, Breathtaking, Beautiful, Amazing, Unbelievable, Incredible and Fantastic anything I have missed??? Honestly some of the best diving I have ever done, diving with so many Manta Rays that I had to fight them to get to the surface, in the deep blue watching a hammer swim towards you. Spending an hour swing along the sides of Whale Sharks (until now I believed to be a figment of everyone’s imagination). Only listing one dive site is a tragedy as apart from those close around Male airport itself they are all great. The water temp was around 30 degrees C that was in Oct and when it rains it Rains, at one point the rain was so strong that the boat had to stop as we could no longer see in front of us. The currents can be very strong, so be careful and always dive with a torch and SMB, as one guy was swept away while I was out there. Date posted: 23-Jun-2006 15:30 by: Warren_OD
March 2005	Dove the Manthiri for the third time in 18 months. It's a great operation! Saw whalesharks, schools of eagle rays, swordfish, countless sharks, dove with giant mantas often, 1000's of fish on every dive, great macro life; incredible soft and hard corals. Manthiri staff is the greatest. Beautiful country. Date posted: 07-Jun-2005 19:37 by: Barbara
