Whale submarine ride

One of the most exciting and best ways to discover the beautiful underwater scenery in this diver's paradise is surely to have a ride in the underwater Whale Submarine. The Whale Submarine takes you 120 feet below water in a high-tech passenger submarine which takes you to completely magical world, underwater. It is an experience of a life time to sink deep into the Indian Ocean and experience the adventures underneath the surface. It is a unique experience offered in Maldives as the island is made of 99% water.

Be prepared to be enthralled and delighted as you gaze out of portholes to a spectacular natural aquarium, surrounded by intriguing wrecks, breathtaking coral reef gardens and an abundance of exciting sea creatures. Watch schools of brightly-colored tropical fish swim close to the windows of the submarine, including lionfish, anemone fish, parrotfish and butterfly fish, and look out for sea turtles, sting rays, manta rays, giant groupers, eels, whale sharks, grey reef sharks, white-tip sharks and many other species.

If you prefer on taking a night dive, the view can be awesome, with the submarine’s lights illuminating the coral as it gets close to the reef walls, revealing combinations of vivid colours that are not possible in the natural daylight. Coral species you are likely to see on your journey include brain coral, star coral, stag horn coral, rose coral and many more. Coral reefs support thousands of living organisms which are active during the night, so getting up close can be a fascinating and breathtaking experience.

Unforgettable excursions like this can be available only in very few parts of the world, so don’t miss out on discovering the natural treasures of Maldivian waters in a real submarine.

This submarine is capable of carrying 50 passengers to a dive depth of 150 meters is also the world’s largest deep diving submarine used for underwater tours. It has so far performed about 3000 successful and safe dives. The cabins are fully air-conditioned and the atmosphere is pressurized enough for you to not have any trouble breathing normally. It is manned by a completely qualified ea mod French and local pilots and the submarine stores enough oxygen, water and food provisions to support all crew and passengers for 100 hours. Try getting a seat on the left hand side of the submarine for the best views and don't drink too much water before you leave-- there's no toilet on board!
