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 :)

One of the best liveaboard experience
The staffs were always friendly and ready to help. No matter what you need and what you want, they are there to help. Open communication, smiling faces, we are more than happy to spend the last few days with the crews. Dives were also perfect managed, one of the most memorial experiences.

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

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.

Great Dive Week
We had a great week on Carpe Diem. Helpful and friendly service/staff, excellent food, food choices left nothing to be desired, even for vegetarians. The captain and dhoni crew did a great job navigating difficult weather conditions, as did the dive guides. Special thanks to Munkko! He is very knowledgable and a lot of fun to dive with.
