The spacious saloon and bar are housed on the bridge deck, and it is here that you can check out your photos of the day on the plasma screen or simply take in the latest movie. For those apres-dive drinks the cocktail deck is the perfect spot to enjoy a drink whilst watching the sun set over the Maldive waters.
The main deck is home to the spacious dedicated restaurant where you can enjoy fine Maldivian and international cuisine. There are 11 twin en-suite cabins on board each equipped with air conditioning, music system and a minibar. For sun lovers there are several areas of sundeck to soak up a few rays.
The boat is also well-equipped for all your tec-diving needs including Nitrox, Heliox, pony tanks and rebreathers as well as rinse tanks and air-stream drying for cameras. If you want to join a liveaboard diving safari in the Maldives' more remote yet beautiful waters, from a boat that caters to your every need, then the MV Monsoon could be the one for you.

| Customer reviews: |
"These people really catered to the guests and did everything to ensure that we had a good diving experience. I was met at the airport and transported to the boat directly with the boat manager, Chris who was very efficient and goal oriented. The dive staff were helpful to divers getting prepared for the dives and returning from the dives. The food was buffet style, plentiful, and very tasty." - Herb Glazeroff, USA ...
" Monsoon - excellent in every respect. I'd highly recommend Monsoon to anybody - totally first class! Being in the Northern Atolls was a big plus - we were always the only dive boat at the sites. There were a lot of repeat Monsoon customers on this trip and I can totally understand why, a truly fantastic trip in every respect. I would rarely consider doing the same trip twice, but with Monsoon I may make an exception." - Timothy Salter, Australia ...
