Maldives AggressorMaldives

Being one of the flagships of the Aggressor Fleet, this modern vessel certainly offers one of the most comfortable liveaboard experiences in the Maldives. 8 day/ 7 night dive cruises operate throughout the year from/to Male departing at 5pm on Sunday afternoon and returning by 8am the following Sunday.

The 35-meter-long steel-hulled Maldives Aggressor was newly built in 2009.
This comfortable vessel is equipped with 10 spacious double cabins accommodating up to 20 divers. All cabins are located on the main deck and equipped with individually controlled air conditioning, a hairdryer, a comfortable private bathroom with toilet and a small window.
The 6 deluxe cabins have a double bed and an extra single bed with a porthole whilst the 4 twin bed cabins are each fitted with two single beds.

Inside, the vessel is air-conditioned throughout where guests can enjoy the spacious salon equipped with an audio / video system, e-mail and a telephone service. The food is more American in character & plentiful, tasty and served at the table rather than buffet-style. On board there's a bar serving a variety of beverages, local beer and wine are included in the cruise price.

The roofed sun deck equipped with sun lounges is a great place to enjoy that well earned 'sundowner' or to just relax throughout your day in paradise! The vessel is, of course, equipped with the latest on-board technology for the safety and comfort of all guests.

Four dives are offered on each dive day with a comprehensive briefing before each dive. Dives are generally conducted from the extra-long, specially equipped diving dhoni. Each diver has his or her own space on board the dhoni - this is where all diving equipment is stored.

Many of the dives offered are drift dives that are followed by the dhoni to ensure a safe and easy pick-up once you surface from the dive. Divers need to bring sufficient safety equipment such as a dive computer and safety sausage and, if possible, a whistle. By Maldives law, dives must be to a maximum of 30 metres in depth.

The vessel is equipped with 12 litre aluminium tanks with INT-connections, so divers with DIN regulator fittings will need to bring an adaptor with them. Rental Gear is available on board and NITROX is available for an additional charge. As the water temperatures are warm and tropical, a 3mm wetsuit is recommended.

Depending on prevailing weather conditions the Maldives Aggressor visits a selection of the most beautiful dive sites within the Maldives archipelago including North or South Male, Ari, Rasdu or Felidhe Atoll sites. Additionally, the vessel also visits sites at the more distant outer reefs for pelagic activity and you can also experience diving the thilas sites (a huge coral structure projecting above sea level).

The Maldives Aggressor is a vessel that appeals mainly to International guests from many different countries. She is offering a high level of comfort, safety, service and great diving!
