Phinda Vlei Lodge

The Blue (formerly MV Fun Azul) is a comfortable and spacious luxury liveaboard delivering year-round dive trips in the Maldives. With 11 air-conditioned, en-suite cabins each with a flat screen monitor and DVD player, the Blue also has an on-deck hot tub and a comfortable leisure deck, giving you plenty of space for relaxing in-between dives. 

The Blue will take you to spectacular dive sites across the many atolls of the Maldives, where you may encounter Manta Rays, Whale Sharks and many different varieties of fish and coral in these nutrient rich waters.

The chef on board the Blue, who was trained at a famous restaurant in Sri Lanka, will prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner, in addition to snacks available through the day. There is also the chance for a beach BBQ if the weather allows. The experienced instructors and guides aim to make your dive trip aboard the MV Fun Azul liveaboard one to remember. This is a great option for your scuba diving fun in the beautiful Maldives.
