About Maldives Legend Sea Pleasure

The Maldives Legend – Sea Pleasure sails some of the Maldives’ most spectacular dive sites, threading between manta ray hotspots and shark-filled channels. Cruising the atolls — North and South Male, Ari and Vaavu — this custom-built liveaboard runs an 8-night Male-to-Male route with approximately 17 dives in total, guided by an experienced, naturalist-led dive team. Open Water divers are welcome, with no minimum logged dives required.

On board and in the water

Launched in 2021, the 30-metre vessel carries up to 20 guests across 10 cabins with 11 bathrooms, and cruises at 8 knots with a top speed of 9. Four tenders ferry divers to the reefs, while Nitrox, sidemount and DIN adaptors keep serious divers well equipped.

Between dives, unwind in the on-board Jacuzzi, gear up with equipment rental, or enjoy a BBQ on a deserted beach. En-suite, air-conditioned cabins, a sun deck, camera station and free internet round out the comforts of life afloat.
