Bathroom very dated, mirror and walls scratched and coating peeling off. Floor surfaces of the ship very 'soft' seems a bit unstable. Basically, however, everything else was ok
Food was fine, selection was not huge, but was basically enough.

It was a very well-run diving safari, during which we visited many exciting dive sites and had many positive experiences both under and above water. We also worked very well as a group and had a lot of fun together as well as with the very accommodating staff on the boat. The Doohni was very spacious and we had enough room everywhere.

Unfortunately, the first week was a disaster in terms of organization, communication and many dives.

There was hardly any communication between the dive guide (Ibo) and the guests regarding the course of the safari. We dived for 3 days in Addu Atoll as there seemed to be repeated delays with the delivery of oxygen tanks. I don't want to go into detail about the choice of dive sites...

The currents before the dives were hardly controlled, so we regularly jumped the wrong way and dived against the current. Some of the dive sites we were briefed for were not reached as a result, and many divers' tanks were empty after a short time.

When asked about this, the guide promised improvement, but this did not happen during the rest of the first week.

The nitrox tanks were mostly filled to 28-29%. From around the middle of the 2nd week, the Nitrox was also no longer available, as there were apparently not enough oxygen tanks to fill.

Fortunately, after the guide (Ibo) was replaced by Roy after one week, the second week was no longer a disaster.

In the end it has to be said that the paid services were not fulfilled, especially in the first week.

The MV Mariana is partly in a catastrophic condition. One guest broke through the floor in a cabin and the floor of another guest's cabin collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The floor in the cabins is partly wet, so there are a lot of insects (flies) in the cabins. There is mold in some areas and a musty smell.

The musty smell is also present in the saloon.

As I myself worked as a diving instructor and diving guide in the Maldives for several years, as well as other very experienced diving instructors and guides who were on the ship with me, we cannot understand why the dives were carried out without a current check

rather simple but cozy ship, large and spacious diving dhoni. Very nice crew, safe and uncomplicated diving. We have felt very comfortable

I felt very comfortable on board. The route varies according to the wishes of the guests in consideration of weather conditions. Jörg Aebi, who is very well versed, always has a good plan.
