About Us

ARK ROYAL dives the best of Maldives sites, with variations given the time of the year. Our tours are mainly of 9 days / 9 nights of duration routing S Male, Felidhu, famed S and N Ari, and N Male atolls, up to 4 dives daily. For those who prefer longer charters, two consecutive tours can be combined to accommodate, and we can adjust for special date requests subject to calendar/availability. The tours are designed for best Manta and whale shark sightings, and the famed rich fish-life, year-round. While we do not guarantee the sightings of the big pelagics, the chance of encountering them is very high indeed, with our experienced crew. All dates are prime diving, variables are in visibility primarily ranging an amazing 75-150+ ft visibility, reliably!
