Join us on a 7-night trip onboard Emperor Serenity, “Best of Maldives” route - October 26th - November 2nd, 2025!
Dive into the turquoise waters of the Maldives and discover a world of unparalleled underwater beauty. With its pristine coral reefs, vibrant marine life, and crystal-clear visibility, the Maldives is a diver's paradise like no other!
What will we see?
Late October is the perfect time to visit the Maldives, as it is the transition period between the wet and dry seasons, which attracts plenty of cool marine creatures. Visibility improves significantly from the rainy season and the mantas and whale sharks are still around!
In addition to those beautiful giants, we'll encounter plenty of turtles, moray eels, sting rays, eagle rays, sharks, numerous species of reef fish (schools of Moorish Idols are my fav!) and lots of colorful critters.

Trip leader and underwater photography
Tiani Dun will be our photography trip leader, you'll receive personalized guidance and expert advice from her to capture stunning images throughout the trip.
She will conduct a full photography workshop and photo review sessions with each participant, ensuring individualized attention for photographers of all levels.
Tiani is an underwater photographer from Australia. She studied a Master of Marine Biology (MS) at James Cook University and has brought her passion for science and the arts together into the work she does today.
Filming and photographing marine life began as a passion when Tiani started studying, but she very soon realised that she preferred to be behind the camera and under the water than she did in the office. So she traded her work shoes for fins, and never looked back! As a PADI scuba instructor, Tiani's work has taken her to the tropical islands of Malaysia, Fiji, Thailand, and all over Australia. When on land, she writes for Ocean Conservation initiatives, mentors students and gives marine biology lectures at schools and universities in Southeast Queensland.
Tiani's favorite style of photography is macro, and she has an incredible ability to steer almost any conversation toward her favorite animals – nudibranchs. On her safety stop, you will find her practising her bubble rings and taking selfies with everyone. Tiani loves nothing more than sharing her love for the ocean and its creatures with others. Her passion for underwater photography is evident, and her experience in marine conservation brings a chance to learn and discover more on our trips!
