Overview

Your adventure begins at Jetty No.1 in Malé (Presidential Jetty), where our team will greet you for check-in. After a short transfer by boat, you’ll arrive at the floating submarine platform and board the world’s largest deep-diving passenger submarine. Once seated in the fully air-conditioned cabin, the submarine gently descends into the blue waters of the Maldives, reaching depths of up to 150 meters. For 45 minutes, you’ll experience an entirely different perspective of the Maldives, witnessing Tear Drop Reef – a thriving underwater world normally reserved only for scuba divers. Marvel at schools of tropical fish, graceful reef sharks, bright corals, and maybe even a turtle or two, all while learning fascinating marine facts from the crew. After surfacing, you’ll return to Malé by boat, carrying memories of a once-in-a-lifetime underwater adventure in the Maldives.
