These virgin reef systems between Hanimandoo and Baa atolls are infrequently visited, which means diving here is an exploration of the finest quality reefs cushioned in peaceful isolation.
Baa, Raa and Noonu atolls are infrequently visited by most Maldivian liveaboards, which means scuba diving here is an exploration of the finest quality reefs cushioned in peaceful isolation. Join Amba on one of their special exteneded voyages all the way from Hanimandoo to Baa for a one off excursion through paradise! Leave the world behind you as you roam the virgin dive sites, encountering the smallest macro to the largest plankton eaters.
Baa has become famous for the manta feeding lagoon of Hanivaru where massive aggregations are found in the late summer months (Aug - Nov). Depending on local tides and currents, you will stop here - we suggest snorkelling for the best encounters but when the manta are not in a lagoon they can be found on the surrounding reefs. Add shark sightings to your log book too! The shark cleaning station at Orimas in Noonu atoll is a sight to behold and Haa Alifu is a perfect for finding leopard sharks as well as reef sharks.
This is a brilliant introduction to the Maldives with a bit of everything (drifts, pinnacles, channels, manta & sharks). The sheer volume of marine life in region makes this itinerary a great choice for photographers. Baa, Raa are secluded and scuba diving in this region takes you away from the stresses of every day life. Amba's expert dive team have picked out the very best dive sites, visiting each at their seasonal best. Adding to the excitement, the guides and crew are constantly on the hunt for new dives sites. When it comes to diving in the Maldives, the Baa, Raa and Noonu itinerary has all the ingredients needed to satisfy even the most adventurous spirits.
