Dune Maldives

I just completed the Central-South cruise on the Black Manta, and the entire experience was absolutely top-notch! ​A special mention goes to Paul, the Cruise Director, who was incredibly attentive. He truly looked after our well-being, both on the surface and underwater, ensuring every detail was perfect. ​Beyond that, the entire staff was adorable—always smiling, professional, and ready to help with a kind word. Their hospitality made the atmosphere on the boat feel like a second home. ​If you are looking for a high-quality cruise with a team that genuinely cares about your comfort and diving experience, I highly recommend the Black Manta!"

Thanks to all the Black Manta's crew for your kindness, your smiles, the amazing dives and all the moments that we shared all together: you don't need to change a thing. A huge thanks to our wonderful Cruise Manager and dive guide, Paul, who gave us the best possible experience, even in bad weather conditions. Thank you for all the moments of joy and laughter, your endless smiles, and your passion for the sea. Please, Paul, never stop diving! A big shout-out to Shaf & Muhey, dive guides and incredible professional photographers. I had discovered their work before coming to the Maldives, and decided to book with Dune thanks to their photos. I was very happy to have the surprise of meeting them on board and discovering their work throughout the journey. Their kindness is matched only by their talent. Thanks to: - Saanvaru and Ibrahim for their heartwarming smiles and their help all day long on the Dohni, which really contributed to making our diving experience unforgettable. - Shantha and his kitchen assistants, who rewarded us after each dive, always with a big smile, great generosity, and constant attention to medical conditions and allergies. - The cabin’s valets: our rooms were always so clean, it was truly enjoyable. Thank you for this wonderful first liveaboard experience. I’m going home with my heart full of smiles, laughter, joy and bubbles, with memories that will last a lifetime and new amazing friends. I’ll be back for sure (I still have a whale shark to see!).

An unforgettable family liveaboard experience with Dune Diving Center Maldives Our family’s first liveaboard experience with Dune Diving Center Maldives aboard Black Manta was truly unforgettable. A special thank you to Shaf, our dive guide, and Ismail, the private guide for my junior diver son. Both were highly experienced, fun, patient, and incredibly accommodating. They made our dives safe, relaxed, and enjoyable, especially for my son, which meant everything to us as a family. The food on board was outstanding. The chef prepared a wide variety of delicious meals, and the special Christmas dinner was absolutely fabulous and made the holiday at sea extra special 🎄✨. Laurie and Antoine were amazing on the boat, always ensuring everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Warm thanks to: • Saanvaru and Ibrahim, for their constant support and heartwarming smiles on the dhoni. • Shantha and his kitchen team, for their generosity, great food. • The cabin helpers, for keeping our rooms spotless throughout the trip. Thank you to the entire Black Manta crew for your kindness, smiles, amazing dives, and shared moments. You don’t need to change a thing. This was a perfect first liveaboard experience for our family. I’m going home with memories that will last a lifetime and I’ll definitely be back to explore other locations with you. Maisa & family

All the staff were amazing and very friendly! Shanta (the chef) was always making sure everyone was fed and was cooking amazing dishes! The dive guides were all a lot of fun and great to hand out with. The Dhoni staff were always having a great time and making sure we were always on time.
