Amba
Liveaboard
Diving experience
At 34 meters long and 10 meters wide, the Amba is a fairly large safari boat that is very quiet in the water.
For 18 years, it has been cruising the Maldivian islands under German management as a comfortable safari boat with individual charm.
The crew of the Amba have been working on the ship for many years and have mastered their craft perfectly.
The experienced guides know how to deal professionally with a wide range of diving experiences and select the dive sites with great care before preparing for the upcoming dive with a briefing in German and English.
In general, the languages spoken on board the Amba are German and English, and there are two German contacts on board almost all year round.
