Hi fellow divers
Just realized we could have a week of diving from late Nov-Early Dec.
Living in the UAE, Maldives is close by (3,5 h flight), so think we might give it a second try.
Went first time in April 2013 and was not that impressed, mostly I remember the drop down, hook up and wait for sharks. Was bored after 3 dives that way:-/ Loved the dives with mantas! Whale shark "hunting" was awful.
However I loved the Thresher shark diving we just did in Malapascua, so thinking coming prepared and knowing the dive style might help.
Last time we did not do the night dive with nurse sharks (not really sure why), having seen videos from friends with this and also Dan T's video and report from 2018 we could repeat the "classic tour", but I'm also looking at going Deep South. Desperate to see different kinds of sharks and other big stuff, and (hopefully) some nice reefs as well.
Princess Haleema/Princess Rani are both doing a "Tiger Sharks" trip (Gan-Fuvahmulah) but found a very concerning review here on SB for Haleema. Only: I'm very confused as the review lists Haleema as a "Seafari boat", which from what I can find is not true. Has anyone seen/been on/know the story? Most concerning is of course the comment regarding fumes in cabin and air that smells like plastic.
Thank you for any insights.
