Mv. Amba was the first and the only diving liveaboard which operates in the areas of Haa Alifu and Haa Dhaalu atolls (North of Maldives) and gives the divers a feel of the untouched underwater paradise.
Mv. Amba is an affordable luxury class liveaboard with 10 cabins all with air conditioning and en-suite facilities.
Mv. Amba starts its diving trips from Hanimaadhoo Island in Haa Alifu-Atoll. The transfer from Male’ International Airport to the Domestic Airport on the island is by air, using Dash-8 aircrafts ( a half an hour flight).
The liveaboard is ideal to travel at rough sea. To prevent a rolling of the ship at rough sea, we have build a stabilizer system directly in the hull. 15 tons of additional weight is added at the deepest point of the ship and distributed over the whole length, will provide you a smoother ride at rough sea.
