What is a Whale Submarine?
The Whale Submarine is the largest and deepest diving passenger submarine in the world and gives you a unique opportunity for exciting escapades below the waves. Certified to reach depths of up to 150 metres, this submarine which was made in Germany, offers a safe and comfortable way for the whole family to explore the underwater world.

Planning Your Excursion
The two main departure points for this tour are from the company’s Airport Information Counter or Jetty No. 1 (Presidential Jetty) in Male, the capital, located within easy reach of some of the best resorts in Maldives. From these points, you will be taken to the floating dry dock where you will find the submarine; the tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including transfer and waiting time, and underwater exploration. Look to stay at nearby resorts like Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives which offer snorkelling and scuba diving too for more experiential adventures.

What to Expect
Descend up to 50 metres deep in the air-conditioned Whale Submarine and explore stunning dive sites. Marvel at the diverse marine life, including yellow or blue-striped snappers, turtles, and more. Discover the hidden beauty of Tear Drop Reef, a previously exclusive diving site, featuring intriguing caves, coral, and more than 100 types of fish.

Underwater Dining
For a truly unforgettable experience, the Whale Submarine can also be booked as a dining venue as it transforms into the first deep-sea restaurant in the world! Dine approximately 36 metres below the water’s surface while enjoying a delicious buffet. As you savour your meal, admire the seafloor illuminated by the submarine’s powerful lights and watch stingrays and sharks just outside your window.

Traveling the Maldives on a Budget: It’s Possible!

You may have always pictured the Maldives as an expensive tourist destination, but as per the current state, it is really not. Although Maldivian islands are the homes for many of the super-luxury resorts and private apartments, there are also inexpensive options for you to follow during your tour.

Go for good accommodation options

If you are searching for the very best resorts in the Maldives, you will have to forget the affordability factor. But, since Maldivian islands have been attracting budget travelers in bulk for the past couple of years, now there are good places to stay for reasonable prices, which you can try out.

Use local transportation modes

You may have to forget seaplanes if you are budget concerned. Always use local ferries that are available or even the boat services that are offered by local fishermen in islands. You have the option of speedboats, but they are expensive.

Find inexpensive excursions

Many resort properties belonging to chains the likes of Adaaran Maldives provide their visitors the excursion experiences. There is a saving you can make when you book an excursion through the hotel, rather than direct booking with a third-party service provider.

Take good food-at affordable rates

The best thing is that there are many Maldivian resorts that provide free breakfast options. For other meals, you may try restaurants on your island, but make sure you check their rates before you order your food.
