MV Amba offers nitrox diving and is the only Maldives liveaboard that operates in the areas of the Haa Alifu and Haa Dhaalu atolls, meaning that there will be very few other divers in the area, and you will feel like you have the whole underwater paradise to yourself.
All 10 cabins onboard Amba feature air conditioning and en-suite facilites. There are 2 standards of cabin to choose from - Standard Staterooms and a 25 square metre Deluxe Suite on the upper deck which affords you breathtaking panoramic views.
The spacious saloon offers comfortable sofas from which to take in a movie or simply discuss the best dive of the day. There are ample sundecks for those wishing to top up their tan or find a quiet corner to relax, and the upper deck sundeck even has its own bar so there's no need to interrupt the sun worshipping to order an after-dive cocktail!
Quite unusually for the Maldives, the languages covered on the MV Amba include English, German and Italian. Amba caters mostly, but not exclusively, to German speakers so you can expect a mixed range of nationalities on board.

| Customer reviews: |
"The German couple running the vessel are an excellent team providing guests with an exceptional diving experience on a diving safari boat. Their staff are very helpful and friendly and overall the boat is also in very good condition with all the amenities which one can expect. In addition the food was of the highest quality with grilled fresh fish being served nearly every day, lots of vegetables and fruit etc.
The diving sites selected were extraordinary with untouched corals as far as the underwater visibility allowed for. It was one of the holiday experiences which one could repeat over and over." - Mathias Eick, Germany ...
