Loved Raja Ampat with CarpeDiem!
It was by far the best liveaboard I’ve done! The crew was so attentive, detailed oriented and always so helpful. Cecile, Agus and Jason showed us the beauty underwater, the best dive sites and we spotted so many cool things! Dive, eat, rest and repeat. And all 100% the best.

Best liveaboard!
We had a fantastic liveaboard with Carpe Diem! The entire crew was very attentive, helpful and always friendly – in general, everything was perfectly organized, with great communication in advance. We felt safe at all times.The weather is closely monitored, the best routes and dive sites are selected, so we saw a great variety underwater (wobbegongs, manta rays, cuttlefish, nudis, pygmy seahorse, orangutan crab, huge schools of fish and much more). The excursions on land were also well timed and perfectly selected - incredibly beautiful landscape.The food was incredibly delicious and varied every day and they even make sure that you drink enough. Sustainability is also taken into account.We were also very lucky with the other divers – a great group with whom we had a lot of fun.The liveaboard was simply the best we have ever experienced. We would definitely like to make more trips with Carpe Diem and can recommend it without reservation!

Fairy tale on the sea
Quite a magical liveaboard! Cecile and her crew are simply unique: they made the whole experience very enjoyable, hassle-free and targeting the best dives sites of Raja Ampat. They are caring and attentive, but also cheerful and playful. A nice and chilled environment, welcoming both to groups and solo travelers. They give a special attention to safety and security, which I highly appreciated, too. And all the above in one of the most elegant and refined boat I've ever cruises the sea on! Kudos to you,guys!

Top class experience, we will be back
Cecile runs a well organised team. The food was second to none, considering the challenges of arranging food on a Liveaboard. Kudos to Martin the chef. Weiwin took care of our every need, from hanging up our wet gear to dry after each dive, to serving coffee any time we wanted. Agus and Jason were great dive guides, and a lot of fun.

One of my best memories of a diving trip with Cecile and her team. The fact that we are in a small group and have such an attentive and caring team contributes to making this stay a very beautiful trip to the ends of the world. The most beautiful dive of my life (more than 300) on Melissa's garden. And the general and festive release of the last one will remain a memorable moment in my mind. Thank you Cecile, Agus, Jaesen and the other crew members for this trip.

Had an amazing time diving with Carpe Diem in Raja Ampat
Had an amazing time diving with Carpe Diem in Raja Ampat. The dive sites were incredible - saw beautiful and diverse coral, tons and tons of fishies, wobbegong shark, pygmy squid, pygmy sea horses, sharks, turtles, etc, etc! The boat was beautiful. The meals were delicious and different every time. My boat-mates were awesome. The crew was super fun. They kept us constantly hydrated with coffee and jasmine tea.
