Sit back, relax and dive deep into the underwater beauty of the Maldives in 4k HDR. This video is from fourteen days of scuba diving in the Maldives. Sailing on the Emperor Serenity Liveaboard from Male all the way down past the equator to Addu. The sea conditions were sometimes challenging, with strong currents, and sometimes perfect too!

    Great quality video, Daniel. It was especially interesting to us because we will be taking the same trip on the same boat in January 2023. My wife, however, was not too excited about so many sharks:)

    So, I am still somewhat of a new diver. Got like around twenty dives under my belt. Would I be ready to dive with sharks? Are people not afraid of seeing their first one? I know they get really bad press but i can not imagine being surrounded by them.

    In short, yes! you are ready! Choose a reputable guide / company, that don't feed them - and you'll have an awesome experience. The first shark you see will be an unforgettable experience (I definitely remember the first shark I saw) and will certainly get the heart pumping, but there's really nothing to worry about - they are more scared of you, than you are of them (great whites aside!).
