Excellent boat and a great week of diving
Carpe Diem is a very large & well laid out boat. The standard twin cabin was very large and well appointed. Food and drinks were excellent, one of the best menus I have experienced on a liveaboard trip. Daily fresh towels were provided for after the dives. Dive Briefings were well run & the organisation of the boat, dives, briefing, safety was all to a very high standard.

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!

Best Diving Safari ever
That my 5th diving safari around the world and with no hesitation I can tell you Carpe Diem was the best so far !!! Our guide, Munkko, was probably the best I ever met ! This guy is also one of the funniest and nicest person on earth. Every single person of this boat is so kind and professional. I am really grateful for this week with you all guys. I felt safe at every moment which is very important : navigating, diving : all the plans they made was to keep all of us safe. Even with 2 days of bad weather ( no whale shark & barbecue on a sandbank ) they tried their best to catch up later and we had : night dive with mantas dancing, dive and play with nurse sharks, many eagle rays, turtles, reef sharks and… probably one of my best dives on the last day : lemon sharks, bullsharks, hammerhead AND tiger shark ! People on this boat were amazing, we had the best cohesion and fun ! I’m so glad I met them. Also, I would like to thanks the cooking chef who was stunning : food was so tasty and varied… I don’t know what I’m going to miss the most ( probably the food 😂 ) I’m still waiting to get his curry’s recipe ! Do not hesitate to book on Carpe Diem which I 1000000% recommend ! I will come back for sure ! Thank you all once again, Marcia, the French lady who is not complaining at all 😜

Deeply grateful for this trip
The diving with Munkko and Redey was simply amazing! Every dive turned out to be something special :) They made the right choices, they really know where to go at the right time of the day. We had a lot of laughs, jokes and even under water we were having a lot of fun (careful, you can swallow a lot of salt water when laughing during a dive...). Our Sri Lankan chef made us putting on some kilos during only one week. Very fresh and tasty food! The whole crew from the roomboy to the captain were exceptionally friendly. Thank you so much, Carpe Diem Crew! I'm already watching out for the next holidays to spend at the Maldives with you!

Superbly run operation
Carpe Diem is a spacious, modern and well run live-aboard. Management obviously takes great pride in their fleet and this is reflected by the entire crew. The dive dhoni is well equipped and has space for all the divers Customer satisfaction is the goal of this operation and they succeeded during the week we were on the Carpe Diem. Hopefully we will be able to experience this again in the future

Ideal live-aboard dive holiday
Mid day snacks and all meals were excellent. The made local traditional food as well as typical western food. They even shared recipes with us. Everyone on the boat was very attentive to our needs. The dive guides were very professional and had great pre-dive briefings. Even the bar keeper was super friendly helping me stop dolphins. Book any trip with the Carpe Maldives company and you will be more than satisfied.
