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.

My first liveaboard dive trip and it is a great one. Ariyal boat is so new and our staff are kind/our dive guides (especially my group DM - Wish, hope to see you again soon) are also very professional/helpful. We were assigned with a group of Spanish guests, they showed how wonderful if you are travelling as a group.

Excellent week of diving on a very comfortable boat
I had a most enjoyable week on the Ariyal - I had beautiful and spacious room on the main deck. The common areas are very well appointed - and great for socialising, relaxing and for briefings. Lots of outdoor spaces to lounge about, including shaded areas. The diving was excellent, although visibility was not the best during the low season. I would definitely recommend this boat to my friends.

Big fish diving with the Ariyal
New ship, very attentive crew, Sauperkeit tip top, food excellent, everything tasted good!! One of the highlights was diving in the port of Male with countless different species of sharks and rays. Once a cool beach barbecue took place on an island. On the last evening, we were able to admire a huge fireworks display on the occasion of the national holiday in the port of Male from the yacht.

100% recommended
It was our first liveaboard and it was a spectacular experience. Both the boat and the people have been amazing. The dive boat is spacious and very comfortable. The food was very tasty and varied. If you come in the rainy season the visibility will not be very good, but the marine life is still amazing. A highly recommended experience!

Ariyal Liveaboard – Standout Guiding & Seamless Crew Support
Fantastic trip on Ariyal. Sharmil gave the most in-depth, practical briefings I’ve had; Naphsu elevated every dive with smart routes and great spotting. Hana made ladder assists and tank handling effortless, Samuel handled luggage seamlessly. Allatay and Wishoo guided other groups—super friendly and clearly expert. Captain Nishant’s 20+ years showed in safe, precise navigation. Highly recommend.
