Manthiri /Maldives
Launched in 1995 Manthiri was the country’s first luxury live-aboard wedding the comfort of a hotel with the mobility and convenience of a mega yacht. Even today, our long experience, endless quest for perfection, dedication to the trade, and the professionalism of the crew who has been working together as a team for several years, keep us ahead of the pack.
In the reef strewn waters of Maldives, diving off the big live-aboard is not always practicable, certainly not in the dark, at night. Therefore, the diving is done off a smaller support vessel called dhoni, fitted with the diving gear, a system that leaves the live-aboard uncluttered and free from compressor noise. Our dive support vessel Vasantha, 54 foot long, featuring a massive 400 square foot dive deck complete with gear, head and two hot water showers, rides low on water affording a most convenient and stable platform to dive from. The state-of the-art Nitrox system on Vasantha affords our guests the option of using enriched air, an insurance against fatality that may arise out of decompression sickness.
