Description

Boat

Ark Nobel is a 42 meters long, 10 meters wide dive liveaboard built in 2015 and thoughtfully refitted in recent years, with a 650HP Mitsubishi diesel engine and has a cruising speed of 10 knots. It combines elegant social spaces with functional design, giving guests plenty of room to unwind between dives.

Ark Nobel has a spacious and fully air-conditioned indoor saloon that is equipped with modern entertainment facilities such as flat-screen television, DVD player, quality stereo, computers, as well as large and comfortable sofas and chairs. There is also a mini library inside the salon, which would be a delight for every bookworm guest. The location is perfect for tête-à-tête at night or a place to relax in between dives.

For those who prefer the sun, there are two options to choose from – a shaded sun deck is located on the lower deck and an open sun deck is available on the upper deck; both of which are equipped with sun loungers, and comfortable chair and tables. The sun decks are perfect for those who prefer to have a breath of fresh and salty air or for those who want to get some tan. Whether you prefer open areas or like to stay indoors, Ark Nobel has that covered.

Ark Nobel offers sumptuous meals three times a day in buffet style and will surely complete this Maldives diving experience! The dining area is strategically located to allow the guests to enjoy a panoramic view of the Maldives waters while having their meal.

All diving is done from the dive dhoni boat, which provide comfort and function at the same time. All the equipment stay in the dive dhoni (compressors, tanks etc.) in order to keep the noise away from the main boat when filling the tanks.
