WHAT IS THE BEST TIME FOR A SURF TRIP IN MALDIVES?

April to september is considered as (Austral) winter with a maximum a swell in the indian Ocean. The transition period (March-April and October-November) might be the best months (with a advantage in spring) for clean session with lots of sun but with a frequency and size less than the south-west monsoon ( May-September).

The heart of the south-west monsoon is june-july with frequent rain (but short), and moderate winds. Il is little less hot and this is the period where the navigation is the most difficult.
With the 3 different swell direction (West, South-West and South-East )in the central Atoll that receive them all, it is a period where the waves are guaranteed, except during heavy storms, (rare).
There are less boats around during the South-West monsoon, and that could be good time for South Male and Meemu atoll.

WHAT TO BRING FOR MY STAY?

It is really hot in Maldives so pack lightly. Flip flap and lots of sun screen. Maybe your fishing rod and a mask and a snorkel hence we do have some basic gear on board.
For the rest, we have everything on board : Towels, shower gel, shampoo and so on...

For your information, you don't need to bring any shoes on board as you will be bare foot during all your trip.
Our concept is "No news, no shoes".

If you wish to stay on contact with your family, bring your phone. You will have 100 % roaming wherever we go. 

You can acces on board to internet with the wifi system at extra cost (50$/pers for week and 70$/pers for 10 days, or daily 10$).

WHAT TO DO IF IF THE CONDITION ARE NOT RIGHT FOR SURFING ?

It is very unlikely that you wont surf couple of hours a day. If a surf spot hasn't got good condition, your surf guide will decide with you and will give you some suggestions. Ocean Divine is a fast boat taht could change spot rapidly few time a day t check some other surf spots. If the surf is impossible, you can also join for a course to learn how to dive, snorkeling, fishing. If you are a keen fisherman, bring you own gear. We do have some basic gear on board.
For all extras on board and if we go for dinner on a island? How can I settle payment?

For all your extra on board (spa, diving, alcohol) you can settle your bill at the end of your stay with your Credit Card ( Visa, Mastercard only ). 12% GST and 10%Service Charge for ALL extras.
