Atoll Explorer Liveaboard

The ship has a fully equiped diving dhoni (Local boat) which serves as a base for diving, snorkelling and swimming in the middle of nowhere.

The large dive deck offers enough space to pre pare your diving gear and the Eurodivers crew brings your gear to the diving Dhoni which brings you to the unique and various dive spots in the Ari Atoll.

You will experience the true art of diving in a very comfortable, service oriented, friendly and fun atmosphere with the Euro-Divers Team.

With a friendly attentive crew, an informal atmosphere and all the benefits of All Inclusive on board, this really is a wonderful holiday for a week’s break or to combine with a stay on an island. Highly recommended and has many many repeat guests!

3. The Atoll Explorer is not suitable for anyone who may have a mobility problem.
