Great choice for a Maldives liveaboard
We are very happy with our choice to book a liveaboard with Carpe Diem. The boat was very comfortable, well maintained and special thanks to the crew - there were no wishes unfullfilled. Everyday we had delicious meals and snacks. The boat and the rooms were cleaned several times everyday. The 16 divers were split in three small diving groups, got detailed briefings before every dive and were assisted, whenever needed. The diveguides were keen to show us the best divesides, avoid the crowds and make the most of our trip... on the many beautiful and exciting dives, we were lucky to see mantas, a whaleshark, seaturtles, eagle rays and countless sharks... including bullshark, tiger sharks and a hammerhead shark! Thanks for this amazing trip!

Astonishing trip with many sharks and mantas
Very good arrangement of the whole dive trip, professional and patient briefing before every dive. Nice crew can take care every scope so that we can fully into diving. Delicious foods can help us recovery quickly after each diving. Memorable experience when night diving and attract manta with torch. Make many new friends from different countries.

Excellent experience!
Great trip - tons of mantas, a brief hammerhead sighting, the Thanksgiving dinner, the dive guides' freehand drawing skills of the sites, lovely beach barbecue, great spread of tropical fruits with breakfast. Fantastic crew and customer service. Food was overall 4.5 stars - just a few things were overly salty and the shrimp was somehow always overcooked but everything else was delicious. Company had a rep on board who regularly audits trips to make sure customers are happy and continually improve their product which is great to see. Very nice dive dhoni - super well maintained, clean bathroom, helpful crew ready with a spare o-ring when needed. Would have liked to see dive guides rotate and they had a bit of a challenge managing a pair of divers whose consumption, even on XL tanks, shortened dives so they should have rotated them as well instead of sticking them with the same group! Dive sites also got congested with other boats despite the companies supposedly deconflicting itineraries - it seems the Maldives has hit that point, but would have liked to see the schedule staggered or some other creativity to get us away from congestion. Would go with this company or boat again if we came back to the Maldives!

Nice week spent on the boat
The dive guides are very funny and tried to make our dives enjoyable as far as possible. It’s thrilling that we could get very close encounters with manta rays and sharks. Other crew staff are very friendly and always there to offer help when needed.

A week in heaven on the Carpe Diem
Our first time on a week long liveaboard. Fabulous! The Carpe Diem was kept clean and well run. The dive lead Munkko was excellent at keeping everyone informed. All the crew was friendly and attentive and all the dive guides were helpful and pleasant. Munkko was our private guide for the week and was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to work on improving skills with my 16 year old and helped me obtain my advanced certification. The dive sites were carefully picked daily. Of course wildlife doesn’t always comply. We checked many reef shark cleaning stations with great rewards but the mantas were elusive until we were snorkeling on the last day. They found tons of macro life. We also went diving at a spot with large sharks in Male by the marina and enjoyed lemon, tiger and bull sharks along with giant rays. Incredible. The beach bar b que night was a night shore break at a beautiful location under the stars. Fabulous operation. Smoothly run. Great crew. Beautiful part of the world.

Again an phantastic Divesafaritrip with Carpe (Diem&Vita)
This Trip was again a Highlight for Safaricruises in the maledives. Excellence helpful Crew and Instructors, bevor, during and after the dives. Vessel is a little bit older but good in shape and technical top. Highlights: i‘ve enjoyed all offered 25dives. We have had chopy water conditions in the north of maledives, so they changed the route. This was absolutly no problem for me, because the have orderd a Inland flight for me from Male to Dharavandhoo. Great Trip
