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.

Trip of a Lifetime
My week aboard the Carpe Diem was perfection. The entire crew treats you like family and goes above and beyond to make your experience spectacular. Every single meal the food was phenomenal (shoutout to the Chefs!), my room below deck had plenty of space and was comfy and the shower had endless hot water. My favorite spot on the boat was the sun deck, whether sitting in the breeze, soaking up the sun, or stargazing at a beautiful clear sky at night. But the DIVING was the best of my life. It blew me away and has left me speechless. All of the sites were so interesting and full of life. Diving with Manta Rays and snorkeling with a Whale Shark might be the coolest thing I’ve ever done. And our dive leaders were so amazing, (Shoutout Saaz!) they were always finding the coolest tiny things, making sure we saw the big things, and constantly checked that we were safe and okay. And the crew on the dive boat offered so much help with our equipment, and being able to leave our BCD’s on the same tank all week while they refilled them after each dive was a luxury for sure. Thank you Munkko and the whole crew for making our experience the best it could possibly be! The hard work and care you all put in is seen and felt by everyone. I hope to be able to come back aboard the Carpe Diem another time in the future.

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

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 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.
