Fantastic first experience
It was our first liveaboard. It was an amazing experience, from gear rental to food and beverage to diving experience overall. Organization was perfect.

Unforgettable trip!
We had an amazing liveaboard experience in the Maldives. Due to the circumstances many guests cancelled, so in the end there were only five divers on board. It felt like a private trip. We were excellently looked after by three professional guides who safely guided us through the channels and currents. We always felt very well supported and comfortable in the water. The underwater encounters were incredible. We saw a wide range of marine life, including Whale Shark, Manta Ray and many different sharks. We even saw Tiger Shark and Thresher Shark. We decided not to join the feeding dives at the tiger shark site, but were still very lucky: during a blue-water entry we encountered five tiger sharks. Life on board was also great. The food was excellent and the crew took very good care of us throughout the trip. The boat itself is an older model, but well maintained and perfectly comfortable for a dive safari. Overall, it was an outstanding and unforgettable trip. Many thanks to the entire crew!

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 :)

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

Fantastic week's diving with a great crew and guides.
We really had a fantastic time. The best live aboard experience we have had. The diving was amazing and the crew incredibly efficient, hard working and fun. The highlight has to be the manta rays at night, all the sharks and beautiful reefs. Our dive guide Wathey was excellent as were all the guides. The cabins were comfortable and always clean and there were changes in towels every day. The food was excellent Highly recommend
