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

Great time aboard Carpe Diem
Absolutely amazing diving in Maldives. Maldives has the reputation as a bucket-list, "must do" destination, and that's for a reason. The diving was spectacular, and Carpe Diem is a great way o see it. I'd definitely sail with them again.

Great liveaboard, amazing value
Carpe Novo had really friendly staff, the dive guides were super knowledgeable and accommodating as far as transfers to and from the airport. Quality of diving and price cannot be beat. Food was excellent the whole trip, and the boat was spacious and felt luxurious compared to other liveaboard I’ve been on. 10/10 would book with them again.

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.

Amazing week on Carpe Diem
This was our first liveaboard experience, and for sure we will do it again! It was amazing to dive in so many different spots and see all the sharks and rays! The boat is very comfortable and the dhoney very convenient. Staff were always available and ready to help. Very good meals too!!

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.

2nd time here, will come back again
We were so impressed with Carpe Diem last time by the fantastic dives and food we just wanted to do it again. We're pleased to find that they have maintained the very high standard all-around. The crew were super friendly and helpful. There's always someone you can turn to whenever you need anything, no matter how early or late. Delicious and great variety of food every meal. Every bite was a delight. Detailed dive briefings so we knew what we're about to see. Special thanks to our dive guide, Munkko, who has been so professional, fun and experienced through out the while trip. He always puts our safety first and made sure everyone was ok. He also knows the water very well and was able to point out different creatures, big or small. We're very happy to see whalesharks, manta rays, nurse sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, countless reef sharks, eagle rays, octopus, nudis, scorpion leaf fish, napoleon fish, turtles and many more. We really had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back again.

Breathe Taking Diving
So many, wonderful Manta encounters, a whaleshark off the back of the boat, getting in the water with a school of pilot whales, having a baby eagle ray following us for an entire dive, a gorgeous, huge purple frog fish and my husband finding an Ornate Ghost Pipefish are a few.

- Amazing animal encounters, relaxed dive schedule & knowledgeable dive guides. The service was out standing, there was a problem with a broken spring in our mattress, they flippedbit to make it manageable and within 48 hours had a new one delivered to the boat!
