Nice underwater view.This type is rare. Some corals are dead still lot of fish swimming around. We have to go in a boat to reach this location. We can see a lot of pax vessels going around.

The submarine was really cool. But the ride was not actually a ride. It was like we were submerged in the water and we were pulled back along the same path as if you were in a box and immersed in water and back. We were really expecting it to take a trip in the ocean so we can feel... More

this could have been really nice, going down to the reef in a submarine. However; 1. the boat essentially just dives straight down and parks itself next to the reef. one side of the windows sees nothing. 2. full of chinese. wear earplugs. still a nice experience though.

I was disappointed as the submarine travelled hardly 100 metres and the coral reef was mostly dead. Donot expect a National Geographic experience!

Nice experience, however dead corals and less marine life ( mainly tunas ), which is mainly caused due to heavy boat traffice around Male. Submarine should go further away from Male, nearby islands have indeed nice marine life. Recommendable for first time visitors to Maldives.

Interesting experience if you don't dive. Depending on the crowd, you might have to switch seat after 20min, as the interesting part is all on one side. Advance booking is recommended if the weather has been good, and cancellation is common.

It was a good experience for the whole family as we had never been in a submarine. Ocean life was in abundance. For sure you’ll see much more when you go scuba but again…the whole idea is to experience the submarine ride itself.
