ARI QUEEN is good cruiser boat in Maldives. The boat is excellent for divers, surfers and even to couples who want a romantic escape and cruise the breathtaking islands in the Maldives.

ELower Deck : 6 cabins, one double bed, one bunk, walk-in wardrobe to store away all your luggage, porthole to open.

Main Deck : Restaurant, Sitting area with TV, 2 guest cabins, double bed, at front with window to open

Upper Deck: Open air bar, partly covered, wheelhouse, 2 guestcabins with double - beds, window to open.

Sundeck : Plenty of space for sun-bathing in the see breeze.

Diving : We dive from a dhoni (local boat) which is travelling with Ari Queen. The equipments stay all the time on the dhoni. We have daily 3 dives including one night dive per week, arrival day one (familiarization dive), last diving day one dive in order to maintain 24hour intervall before flight. (2 weeks-passengers and those continuing to a resort may have a second dive).
In price included are cylinders and weights. You are expected to bring along all personal gear incl.surface - marker („sausage“), however we can provide jackets and regulator for rent. Since we cannot carry with us a complete diving-center, wetsuits are available only in limited quantity and sizes. Mask, fins and snorkel you should bring along anyway.

A cruise in Maldives is nothing for beginners, especially when you mix with other divers (on a fullcharter any level is accepted). We suggest a minimum of 40 -50 dives, otherwise pls.contact us. We do not make courses aboard.
Standard is 12 litre aluminium cylinders. We carry 2 pieces 15 litre tanks, but give them out (surcharge) only exeptionally. High air-consumption results from poor buyoancy and over-weighting. Overweighting results from lack of experience and too thick wetsuits. Water temperature is 27° also in depth. A 3mm suit is ideal, 5mm the maximum. With a 7mm for example you make your diving-life unnecessarily difficult. We do not appreciate the use of gloves.

Towels etc.
We provide hand- and bath-towels. Beach-towels you take along if your luggage allows. If not, you can manage with our bath-towels.
The towels will be changed once within a trip, bedsheets will be changed at the end of the trip only (one week). We have reserve-sets for unexpected changes.

Internet:
Mobile connection is possible on most of the cruise. You may get online through your phone. Connection is very very slow, however. If you bring along your laptop, we provide you a modem at local charges. Again, connection is very slow. It is ufficient to check your mails, but forget about internet-surfing.
