One of the best time of my life, I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I can.
I enjoy every minutes of the trip. Diving everyday, resting, watching the endless sea before your eyes and temporarily forget all your worries. The trip exceeds my expectation and I can't wait to come back in the future.

Clear recommendation
The trip was well organized, the dives mostly great! Sometimes a lot of current, I would have liked an explicit briefing. The food was just amazing! Always a lot of choice, always something "European" and always super delicious! The bartender also did a great job. All in all, we had a really great week (but that was also a lot due to the people who were in our diving group!)

Amazing crew along with fantastic dives to make the a perfect dive vacation.
What a fantastic trip we had! The crew does everything in their might to make this liveaboard a perfect cruise. Underwater, we saw sharks on 95% of our dives, plenty of mantas, along with other rays and giants schools of fish. The food was also a highlight with the chef keeping us full between dives :)

An Unforgettable Maldives Experience – 10/10 Highly Recommended!
From the moment we met the team representative at the airport until the very last second of our trip, everything went incredibly smoothly. We were warmly welcomed at the arrival terminal, assisted with our bags, and seamlessly transported to our main vessel. Upon arriving at the Carpe Diem, we were greeted with a delicious welcome drink. Right from the start, the team prioritized safety, presenting the safety protocols while we enjoyed our drinks—a detail that was extremely important to me. World-Class Crew & Seamless Diving The entire crew was professional, friendly, and supportive 24/7. The Staff: Everyone—from the captain and main manager to the barman and supporting staff—went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The Dive Team: The dive guides were exceptional. They, along the staff members on the boat, meticulously helped us set up our gear for every dive and provided thorough, detailed dive briefings beforehand. They were always there for us. The boys refilled our tanks before every dive and were literally there for anything and everything we needed. The room: Cleaned twice a day, and pretty spacious! Exceptional Dining (100 out of 10!) The food was beyond amazing, featuring incredible variety and fresh, delicious fruit every single day. Between breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks—with coffee and water always available—we were thoroughly spoiled. Buffet style. As someone with dietary restrictions, I was deeply impressed by the chef's effort. He went out of his way for every single meal to ensure I had more than enough to eat, even personally approaching me to guide me through which dishes were safe for me. Going the Extra Mile Until the Very End This was my mom’s very first liveaboard experience, and she completely fell in love with it. The crew’s hospitality truly shone on our final day; because we had an early flight, they organized an early airport transfer. Our dive guide even accompanied us all the way into the terminal until we were safely checked in. We are so incredibly thankful for this experience. If we get the chance to return to the Maldives, we would choose this exact vessel and crew without a second thought. Thank you so much to the entire Carpe Diem team! We highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking to dive in the Maldives!
