Maldives featured on Blue Peter

Blue Peter presenters are well known for their sense of adventure, and this week Joel proves he too is up to the challenge.

Over the past few weeks, Blue Peter viewers have watched Joel working his way through the entry level diving course. Joel joined Nautilus 2 in the Maldives earlier this year where he finished the last of his qualifying dives from the comfort of his liveaboard base.

The newest of Scuba Travel's Maldivian liveaboards, Nautilus 2 operates in the North and South Male atolls. With cleaning stations, mantas, speedy drifts and coral-smothered pinnacles on the itinerary, the diving has a lot to offer even the most experienced diver.

Scheduled for broadcast on Wednesday 20 May at 16:35, you can watch Joel get up close to massive mantas and dive on his first ever wreck in a breath-taking week's diving. In case you can't catch the show, don't forget to look at BBC iplayer or the Blue Peter website.
