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!

Just one Awsome trip over all :-)

This was a once in a life time trip for me. The over all experience was really amazing. The dive guides showed us as much as they could see in 1 dive and made me feel very comfortable under water. Great atmosphere on board So much food you are never hungry! The cabins are super comfortable!

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.

Sea-ze the day with Carpe Diem!

I recently returned from two unforgettable liveaboard trips with Carpe Diem in the stunning waters of Komodo, and I can’t recommend this experience enough! From the moment I boarded the vessel, Cecile and the crew made me feel at home. They were caring, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that all my needs and those of other guests were met. In addition, Cecile's empathetic, authentic, and accountable approach to leading her crew and hosting her guests are no doubt qualities that make her an inspirational leader at sea! The phinisi itself was beautiful, comfortable, clean and well-equipped, with spacious cabins and plenty of communal areas to relax and socialize. Diving from the liveaboard was a game-changer. Each day was packed with multiple dives at breathtaking sites, ranging from vibrant coral reefs to exhilarating drift dives. Cecile and Agus were exceptional, providing handy tips and ensuring our safety while inviting us to explore the underwater splendour. I encountered an array of marine life, including majestic manta rays, docile reef sharks, shy regal blue tangs, and even a dugong swimming gracefully from a distance. The meals onboard were another highlight. Each meal was a delicious celebration of local and international flavors, and the variety was always in abundance to cater to different dietary preferences. After a day of diving, sharing stories and laughter over a hearty dinner was the perfect way to unwind. What truly sets Carpe Diem apart from the rest is the expertise, drive, agility and individual attention from Cecile and the crew. Each dive brought new experiences, and I loved the convenience of having all my gear prepared and ready to go! Overall, my liveaboard experience with Carpe Diem was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and camaraderie. I returned home with a deeper appreciation for the sea and the crew that went the extra mile to provide top-notch service for all the guests.
