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.
