High standard of care, high quality of service and an excellent overall experience
The crew take care of literally everything from the moment you board, always people to carry this or that, fetch whatever you desire (within their power) and will help you if you're not feeling well. Good safety standards. The dive boat (little one pictured) includes hot showers, so by the time you're back on the main boat (done every dive) you're ready to go relax or eat or whatever. Dive guides know the sites very well and assist you with things like dive hook attachment when they're needed.

- Excellent dive briefings, with hand drawn maps. Full assistance from crew for everything. Large quantities of food, good bar.

The Magnificent Maldives on Carpe Diem!
This was my first liveabord experience and it was fantastic! The knowledge of the dive team, the locations we set out to were amazing. Thanks you Munkko, Saaz and Wathey. There pre dive briefings were very informative and set the tone for the dives. The rooms were very comfortable and always well maintained by our smiling friend Subuj! Our meals were delicious and well balanced thanks to our chef and bartender: Nilanka and Mahey! Special note of gratitude to Captain Issey and engineer Adam for getting me to some awesome reefs! And Koko and the rest of the crew for their hard work in making this trip a flawless experience. I cannot wait to share this with my friends and return. With gratitude, Susan

My first time
Despite ropey weather (extending shoulder season), the trip was amazing, saw everything I wanted, safely and efficiently. Great team. Food was really good, and much better than I expected. Worth knowing you get into Male on Friday pm 1600, might have done other things as Male is not the best part of the (amazing) Maldives

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

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
