Super happy

We had an unforgettable experience at the Liveaboard Ariyal, where we celebrated the second week of our honeymoon. From the first moment, the treatment was exceptional: knowing that we were on our honeymoon, they surprised us with a cake and a bottle of prosecco. A beautiful detail!All the staff of the boat were always super attentive 24 hours a day, taking care of every detail so that we did not miss anything. The four dive guides are a real blast: Ali, Alex, Shamil and Wish, cracks! We hired a private guide, which was a great choice, but we also found that groups of five per divemaster work great; All the divers seemed very happy.The food was delicious, with snacks between meals that always came in handy. Dinner on the deserted island was simply magical.Without a doubt, we would repeat without thinking about it! A diving experience and care that exceeds expectations.

Paradise!

Our time on the Ariyal in the Maldives was nothing short of spectacular. From breathtaking dive sites to top-notch service, every moment was unforgettable. The crew was incredibly attentive, the food was outstanding, and the underwater adventures were insane—teeming with marine life like we’d never seen before. It was an experience of a lifetime that we’d recommend to anyone seeking a mix of adventure and luxury in paradise!

Staff. Friendliness. Great Boay.

Definitely recommend, but check the current-saisons if you want to see more actions in the water

It was a great liveaboard with some average dives (due to hardly any current and the corresponding lack of marine life) and some excellent dives. The crew is extremely friendly and helpful. I wish I had been assigned to another group that would have suited my level better, but I'll dig deeper next time.

Recommended for
Top boot and cleanliness. Top Customer Service. Food was excellent.
