Maldives Liveaboard Diving | Manta Rays & Sharks Aboard the Mantiri

Join me on my first-ever liveaboard adventure in the Maldives! Over 9 incredible days aboard the Mantiri, we explored some of the best dive sites in the Maldives. From vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life to thrilling drift dives through channels, the Maldives offered countless unforgettable dives and an incredible range of underwater experiences. During this liveaboard trip, we encountered majestic manta rays, curious reef sharks, graceful sea turtles, colorful schools of fish, and vibrant coral gardens. Every dive site in the Maldives seemed to offer something different — from gentle slopes covered in soft corals to dramatic drop-offs buzzing with big pelagic species. Whether you’re looking for exhilarating shark encounters, peaceful dives among colorful coral reefs, or the magic of seeing manta rays glide above you, Maldives liveaboard diving has it all. This video captures the true spirit of diving in the Maldives aboard a traditional liveaboard vessel. If you’re planning your first liveaboard or dreaming of exploring the Maldives underwater, I hope this gives you a taste of what it’s like to live and dive in one of the world’s most iconic scuba destinations. 🎥 All footage filmed aboard the Mantiri Liveaboard during April 2025. 00:00 Intro 01:11 Aboard the Mantiri 02:17 Let’s Dive 06:22 First Sharks and Turtles 09:57 Night Dive 16:04 Manta Rays night session 17:22 Unexpected Manta Rays visit 25:55 Quick Fishing session 29:38 Last Dive 35:30 Outro #Maldives #Liveaboard #FirstLiveaboard #MaldivesDiving #UnderwaterAdventure #MantaRays #Sharks #DivingMaldives #Travel #Diving
