Diving on Emperor Virgo in the Maldives

Emperor Virgo is a luxurious boat that was specifically built for diving. It was designed to provide luxury and comfort to all its guests providing the best facilities and amenities everyone needs while aboard. Emperor Virgo was built in 2012 and was recently revamped in order to provide the most up to date facilities.

The featured indoor saloon is equipped with temperature control facilities, as well as a modern entertainment system, including flat-screen television sets, computers, stereos, a DVD player, and a mini-library. Not to mention the comfortable and luxurious sofas that everyone will love! Surely, all guests will not run out of things to do onboard Emperor Virgo when spending late nights or time between dives – they may watch their favorite TV series, movies, or simply read a book. For those who would like to update their followers on various social media platforms, wireless internet connection is also available for a surcharge.

To those who love to feel the heat of the sun and the salty air, they may spend time on the sun decks on the lower and upper deck. Both sun decks are equipped with luxurious sun loungers. They also feature comfortable chairs and tables for everyone’s convenience. On the lower sun deck, there is a shaded part for those who prefer not to bask in the sun too much; but for those who love to get that perfect tan while having a full view of the sea, an upper sun deck is a perfect option.

The dive deck is spacious and has a platform installed. Every guest will have enough space for their equipment to be prepared and maintained. There are also large equipment boxes, charging ports, a hanging area for wet suits, and freshwater showers. For divers with advanced certification, they may take advantage of the free nitrox.
