2011 World's Best Diving and Resorts: Dancer Fleet -- Ocean Dancer

Uniquely crafted by hand in the Maldives, Ocean Dancer features spacious staterooms and large showers along with modern comfort and convenience. You'll feel like you are on a floating “boutique hotel” surrounded in Dancer Fleet style, service and amenities. She has more lounging deck space inside and out than usual, since all diving operations are housed and conducted on the 52-foot diving dhoni. Operating only six months a year, to optimize conditions during the prime diving season — enjoy diving with manta rays, sharks and most of all whale sharks. See and feel the Magic of the Maldives on these 10-night itineraries.
