M/Y White Pearl

The M/Y White Pearl brings diving in the Maldives together aboard a 56.4-metre (183-foot) vessel launched in 2020. Cruising the reefs of South Malé Atoll, it pairs a well-equipped diving area, a spacious dive platform and experienced guides with the calm efficiency of three purpose-built aluminium tender boats — the kind of setup that keeps every descent smooth and every surface interval easy.

Who it suits

Divers who like to keep their bottom time flexible will appreciate the availability of enriched air (Nitrox), while a dedicated camera room gives underwater photographers a proper place to store and prepare their gear. Fish ID and diving books are on hand for anyone wanting to put a name to what they saw below.

With English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, Maldivian, Hindi and more spoken on board, the White Pearl welcomes divers from across the world. Free Wi-Fi, warm-water showers and a battery charging station round out a base built for serious time in the water.
