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.

All worth the money!
The transfer from the airport and back again was perfect. We had an amazing week on board of the Carpe Diem. The crew put us to the best dive spots and we 've seen a lot of rays, sharks and mantas all week. I think the highlight were the night dive with nurse sharks, the whaleshark and the Manta point. The guides were excellent. Felt save and in good hands all the time. Also the crew did everything to make us feel comfortable on board. Cabin was fine and tidy. Food was great. Special veggie ootions were always available and delicious. The boat is very large. Plenty of options to find a nice place to hang out. The other guests were also nice people. It was overall a very cool experience. Best liveaboard ever! Would book this tour 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.

Excellent week of adventure & comfort
Crew was super friendly, fun and helpful during the whole trip. The food was multicultural and delicious. The room was tidied everyday. The guide was very considerate and caring. He really knows the ocean as well as the underwater creatures and where to find them. I was so relaxed and enjoyed the dives with him. I deeply appreciate the effort of the crew who put their hearts and minds in keeping us safe and satisfied. I would definitely consider joining their cruise again in the future.

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

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
