The 37-metre steel hulled Blue Voyager was completely refurbished in 2015 and can welcome up to 26 guests on board. Offering three spacious double suites and ten twin cabins, she is the newest addition to the Master Liveaboards fleet.
Specifically laid-out so guests can spend their holidays aboard in complete relaxation and benefiting from a separate tender and a the largest diving dhoni in the area, there is more than ample space on the Maldives Master for guests to sit back and enjoy their diving cruise.
A generous outdoor dining area, bar and sky lounge, and even a Jacuzzi make for a luxurious stay on board. There are many options to put your feet up after diving; take your pick from three sundecks with comfortable seating and loungers or remain in the shaded lounge on the mid deck.
The Blue Voyager is also equipped with a nitrox membrane and spacious charging station.

Maldives Diving Itinerary
On a typical day we offer up to 4 day dives, however the 4th day dive may be substituted for a night dive when the boat is anchored within an atoll. A 7-night itinerary provides for between 18-20 dives, whilst during our 10-night itineraries, up to 30 dives will be possible.
The diving day aboard the Master Master is scheduled as follows:- Light Breakfast followed by a briefing and Dive 1. Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 2. Lunch, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 3. Snack relaxation period, briefing and Dive 4, where possible. Dinner. Guests may also take the opportunity to visit the islands and walk upon the pristine beaches.
Dive sites vary, with something for everyone on most itineraries. Currents are the norm in many spots in the Maldives so it is recommended that divers have experience beyond beginner level to ensure maximum enjoyment. Submerged pinnacles, or thilas, in clear blue water offer the chance for larger pelagics, while there are relaxing drift dives along the outer walls of the atoll for those who love to see coral covered vistas.
The Maldives enjoy a warm, tropical climate all year round. The driest season, with lots of sunshine, lasts from January to March. Wet season is from approximately mid-May to November. Year round temperatures do not vary much; around 23C (73F) at night and 31C (88F) during the day. Not surprisingly, water temperatures in the Maldives are also fairly constant over the year; 26-29C (78-84F), except in the far south where it can drop to 24C (75F). Most guests are comfortable in a 3mm or 5mm full wetsuit.
