Daily Diving Routine - Each day starts with a detailed briefing by our experienced dive guides, covering dive plans, safety procedures, and marine life encounters. After assembling into buddy teams, we board the specialized dive dhoni, a separate vessel designed for diving operations. This ensures ample space and comfort on the Nautilus Two while providing an easy and efficient transition into the water. Upon arrival at the dive site, our guides assess conditions such as current strength and visibility before leading you into the crystal-clear waters. Whether diving alongside a guide or with your buddy, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the wonders of the Maldivian seascape at your own pace. After each dive, the dhoni crew is on hand to assist with equipment and ensure a smooth return to the liveaboard, where you can relax and share your experiences with fellow divers. The Nautilus Two offers nitrox for EAN-certified divers but does not support rebreathers or technical diving.
