Guides John and Mia were both very attentive and great company. Derek was exceptional and provided the reassurance I needed to swim in the sea!!

Great Snorkel Trip...Marginal Swim Trip
It’s the Maldives! It’s always amazing!! We saw lots of phenomenal bucket list sea life on snorkels but didn’t have amazing long (in terms of time) perfect Maldivian reef swimming with millions of fish!
This trip had a few challenges. (I’ve been on numerous swim holidays, many guided and unguided adventures of all types, and one prior Maldives swim trip.)
1. Too late in the season! Weather can always be unexpected on any trip. This year the storms came a bit early so lots of weather and by the end of the week we were in full monsoon. Literally. While this may not happen this week every year, I’d go earlier than THE LAST WEEK of the boat’s tenth month season. Most of our swims were affected by weather. Swims ended early. Snorkels ended early. Beach dinner cancelled. You can’t control weather but you can schedule trips a bit earlier to have less chance of early monsoon season.
2. Schedule was without flexibility. Boat manager planned daily schedules in advance and there was no flexibility. Locations were aligned with the boat’s typical dive routes and not ideal for long pretty swims. With unpredictable weather there needed to be flexibility on timing and location of swims. SQ Guide not permitted to adjust timing of any of the days’ schedules to maximize swims. Result was that on days with just a bit of sun we were stuck ON the boat in the sunny bits motoring to a predetermined dive site for a scheduled snorkel rather than swimming! Often the swims were visibility challenged and locations not ideal (e.g., one swim had NO FISH and absolutely nothing to see (not a crossing) but was close to a manta feeding station). No fish on a Maldives Swim is a bit ridiculous. But if your goal is to see Mantas feeding way down on the bottom while snorkeling way above after your no fish swim.... then perhaps perfect for you.
3. As mentioned this was the last week for the boat on the end of a ten month season. The boat was a bit tired. Things needed to be fixed. Upgrades were due. It’s a solid dive boat. It was clean (except for strong odors in some cabins). It serviced the trip. The A/C in cabins worked great. Do not expect luxury or fine accommodations—2 or 3 star at best. The food was plentiful and good but mess hall quality not chef prepared cuisine. Tired of the food by midweek.
4. SQ Guide great. Boat Crew great. Swimmers great. Boat Manager disrespectful to guests and crew which caused some challenging situations. SQ office team always helpful!
5. This trip is scheduled with TWO nights in the harbor by the airport. I did not realize this when booking. Not ideal. Harbor by airport is not pretty. It is hot and loud and not where you want to be anchored when in the Maldives. One night for trip change is understandable. Two nights is just yuck! On the other nights...you are basically journeying with the other four or five dive boats owned by the dive company. So no secluded evenings in the middle of nowhere. In the vast Maldives you are spending every night with the other boats a stone’s throw and listening to those boats as they use loud generators to fill dive tanks, etc. Not ideal; especially when for your swimming trip proximity to dive sites should be irrelevant.
6. Trip would benefit if there were two swim guides. Put one in a kayak. Give more options to the group during swims and better accommodate disparate speeds. On this trip the Dive guide/boat manager didn’t really function as a swim guide.
Back to the snorkeling.... wow! Amazing evening snorkel with more nurse and reef sharks than could ever be counted. Mantas were beautiful. Other rays stunning!!!
Whale Shark found me during one swim and that was truly special. It was a fun week but would have liked more focus on the swims and, of course, much more sun!

The reason it's not a five star was because my supporters and I did not know the end of the swim was a fair way from the meeting place, and they missed our arrival.
Other than that I was delighted with the care and attention the Swimquest team provided :)

The hotel was accurately described by Swimquest as basic, but was clean and in a wonderful location. Note to Swimquest; a more regular supply of bottled water would be welcomed.
