Guests arriving from resort islands or from Male should plan to meet our representative at the airport at 09:00 outside the Arrival Terminal.
You will then be transferred to the boat which will be anchored in Hulhule Male Lagoon just 30 minutes away.

Once all guests are aboard, the boat will depart on safari and it is normal that an orientation dive is given in the afternoon.

Details of the trip itinerary are shown below. You do need to arrive in the Maldives so you can join the boat at midday of the date of embarkation. If your flights arrive earlier and you need to book a hotel or resort, please let us know and we can assist you with this

Electricity
There is a 24 hour supply of 220 volt AC electricity on board and an emergency 12 volt DC lighting circuit. E6 Processing E6 Processing . E6 Slide film processing is available.

Water
MV Sea Queen is equipped with a water maker with a capacity for producing two tonnes of water per day. In addition, there is storage for three tones.

Food and Drink
There is a good variety of both local and European dishes. If guests are vegetarian or have special dietary needs, we will, of course, do our best to cater for them. Breakfast and lunch are normally served buffet style and dinner is generally served seated around the large table on the foredeck.

Communications
Sea Queen carries a mobile phone as well as CB radio and VHF. She is in constant contact with the offices in Male .

Crew
On board the main vessel we have a Maldivian crew of five dedicated to ensuring our guest’s comfort and safety – captain, deck hand, engineer, waiter, chef. On board the dive support vessel we have a crew of two – the captain and deck hand. All the crew are co-ordinated by the Cruise Director and his assistant Dive Master.

Other Entertainment
On board slide shows are often given. Sea Queen also has a 14 ft Zodiac inflatable with outboard engine which is used to take guests to the uninhabited islands. When possible, we arrange barbecues as well as visits to the local fishing islands where visitors are always made very welcome. In addition a wave-ski and paddle and fishing gear are available for the use of our guests.

THE DIVING
Diving takes place from our own, purpose designed 12 meter dive support boat called Luna which has its own dedicated crew and carries all the dive equipment and compressors. Tanks are filled in place on the tank rack so guests need only assemble their BCD and regulator once at the start of the holiday. Tanks and weights are provided. Often the best diving in the Maldives is to be found in the narrow channels between the ocean and the atoll rim and it is therefore essential to have a boat that is easy to maneuver and with a shallow draft to ensure the safety of divers during pick-up. A nice feature of the
Luna is that she will anchor a discreet distance away from the mother ship when filling the tanks so guests are not disturbed by noise from the compressors.

Safety
The safety of our guests is paramount. Both Sea Queen and Luna the dive support boat carry a comprehensive first aid kit and pure oxygen. Both boats also have ship to shore radio/telephone and GPS and the mother ship has a satellite telephone system.

Dive staff
Aboard the Sea Queen there is a fully qualified PADI Dive Instructor who also acts as the Cruise Director and he is usually assisted by a dive guide. We do our best to provide guests with diving that is as adventurous as possible and, with only twelve guests and two experienced guides, it is possible to offer fantastic diving for divers at all levels of experience.

On Deck :
The foredeck of MV SEA SPIRIT is partially shaded and offers an ideal place for guests to relax between dives. Meals are generally served around the large oval table on the foredeck so that guests can enjoy the wonderful beauty of diving in Maldives. There are steps from the foredeck that lead up to the sundeck - a great place to watch the sun setting. On the aft deck there is a swim platform with ladder giving easy access to the water. There is a fresh water shower and camera rinse.

Electricity:
There is a 24 hour supply of 220 volt AC electricity on board and an emergency 12 volt DC lighting circuit.
