A sense of expedition and adventure is in the air aboard the Aquarius liveaboard. And, that is not only because this ship is often cruising the distant waters of the spectacular Huvadhoo, Laamu and Addu Atolls in the Maldives, but also because the standard of equipment aboard the Aquarius liveaboard is remarkable. Aquarius is equipped with state-of-the-art devices including underwater stabilisers, automatically-inflating rescue rafts, rope-cutters, two turbo-diesel 1,000 horse power engines, three separate rudders and auto-pilot, all of which ensure comfort and safety aboard this Marine-Epoxy vessel. The interior design of the Aquarius, which features teak floors also assures an adequate level of comfort for scuba divers staying on board this ship during their scuba diving trip in the Maldives.
