With a total of 7 well-appointed cabins, the vessel ensures a private and restful retreat for everyone onboard. The cabin breakdown is designed to optimize space and comfort:
- 4 Double Cabins: Ideal for couples, each double cabin offers a comfortable bed and ample space for two, providing a cozy haven after a day of exploration.
- 3 Twin Cabins: Perfectly suited for friends or individual travelers, these cabins feature two separate berths, offering privacy and convenience.
- Central Atolls (e.g., Male, Ari, Rasdhoo, Vaavu): Often considered the classic Maldivian diving route, these atolls are famous for their consistent encounters with Manta rays, Whale sharks, and a thrilling array of reef sharks in channels and thilas (underwater pinnacles). Sites like Maaya Thila and Fish Head are iconic.
- Southern Atolls (e.g., Huvadhoo, Fuvahmulah, Addu): For the adventurous and those seeking big pelagic action, the Southern Atolls deliver. Huvadhoo is known for its strong currents and abundance of sharks, while Fuvahmulah is a unique oceanic atoll famed for encounters with Tiger sharks, Thresher sharks, and oceanic Manta rays. Addu offers historical wreck dives and vibrant reefs.
- Northern Atolls (e.g., Baa, Raa, Lhaviyani): These atolls provide a more remote and pristine experience. Baa Atoll is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, renowned globally for Hanifaru Bay's seasonal aggregations of Manta rays and Whale sharks (typically May to November). The Northern Atolls offer stunning healthy reefs and a diverse array of macro life alongside larger marine creatures.
- Dive Clubs & Professional Dive Groups: Offering maximum flexibility to hit specific dive sites, conduct training, and tailor dive schedules.

The Maldives is world-renowned as a premier diving destination, and a charter aboard Noah places you directly in the heart of its vibrant underwater world. Your journey includes an incredible 3 dives per day, allowing ample opportunity to explore a diverse range of dive sites, from exhilarating drift dives along channels to tranquil reef explorations and thrilling encounters with large pelagics.

Prepare to be mesmerized by playful Spinner dolphins, majestic Pilot whales, and elusive False killer whales. The reefs host a dazzling display of color with Clownfish darting among anemones, graceful Green turtles gliding past, and schools of vibrant Reef fish. Pelagic encounters are a highlight, with Manta rays performing their ethereal ballets at cleaning stations, the awe-inspiring Whale sharks cruising gently, and the thrilling presence of Black-tipped reef sharks, Hammerhead sharks, and even the formidable Tiger sharks in specific atolls like Fuvahmulah. Eagle rays, Nurse sharks, and intriguing Moray eels are also common sights, ensuring every dive is a unique adventure. Popular dive sites like Maaya Thila, often referred to as a 'fish factory,' or the Manta Point in Hanifaru Bay (seasonal) offer truly iconic Maldivian diving experiences.
