About Liveaboard Ocean Holidays
Why I Love Life at Sea
There's something about waking up surrounded by endless blue, far from the usual rush. For me, a liveaboard isn't just a trip - it's a full dive into ocean life. No land in sight, just the sea, the sky, and the company of folks who get why this feels so special.
The Boat: MV Sea Pleasure
This is home for a week. Three decks, super comfy, and stable enough even for first-timers. Each cabin is air-conditioned, has its own bathroom, and you get those killer ocean views. I spend most evenings on the sun deck or in the jacuzzi, swapping stories or just staring at the stars. Food? Let's just say, if you like fresh seafood, you're sorted. And yes, sunset BBQs on the beach are a thing.
Pick Your Adventure
- For certified divers, this is a Maldives diving safari you won't forget - up to 20 dives, with night dives and wrecks, chasing manta rays and whale sharks at sites like Miyaru Kandu and Hanifaru Bay. It's intense, and strictly for folks with a diving cert.
- Not a diver? No problem. Snorkelling Maldives liveaboard style means vibrant reefs, island hopping, and plenty of chill time. There's even a shot at a Discover Scuba if you're curious.
One Week, Loads of Stories
Seven nights, eight days, and you start feeling like the ocean is home. Most of us are from namma Bengaluru (our Bengaluru), so expect a mix of Kannada, English, and a lot of laughter. This trip is about more than ticking boxes - it's about making memories, with the sea as your backdrop.

My Story
People always ask - Scuba diving in Bangalore, seriously? But yeah, ocean ka pull (pull of the ocean) is real, even in namma Bengaluru! That’s why Aquanaut India sits right on Brigade Road, not just as a store but as a hangout for anyone dreaming of underwater adventures. I’ve seen everyone – doctors, artists, whole families, kids, and loads of women getting certified. Once you’re underwater, no barriers, just freedom. The stories we collect, wild stuff! Like the guy in Kannada wanting gear for a flooded well. Dive in, join the madness.
