An Unforgettable Maldives Experience – 10/10 Highly Recommended!
From the moment we met the team representative at the airport until the very last second of our trip, everything went incredibly smoothly. We were warmly welcomed at the arrival terminal, assisted with our bags, and seamlessly transported to our main vessel. Upon arriving at the Carpe Diem, we were greeted with a delicious welcome drink. Right from the start, the team prioritized safety, presenting the safety protocols while we enjoyed our drinks—a detail that was extremely important to me. World-Class Crew & Seamless Diving The entire crew was professional, friendly, and supportive 24/7. The Staff: Everyone—from the captain and main manager to the barman and supporting staff—went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The Dive Team: The dive guides were exceptional. They, along the staff members on the boat, meticulously helped us set up our gear for every dive and provided thorough, detailed dive briefings beforehand. They were always there for us. The boys refilled our tanks before every dive and were literally there for anything and everything we needed. The room: Cleaned twice a day, and pretty spacious! Exceptional Dining (100 out of 10!) The food was beyond amazing, featuring incredible variety and fresh, delicious fruit every single day. Between breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks—with coffee and water always available—we were thoroughly spoiled. Buffet style. As someone with dietary restrictions, I was deeply impressed by the chef's effort. He went out of his way for every single meal to ensure I had more than enough to eat, even personally approaching me to guide me through which dishes were safe for me. Going the Extra Mile Until the Very End This was my mom’s very first liveaboard experience, and she completely fell in love with it. The crew’s hospitality truly shone on our final day; because we had an early flight, they organized an early airport transfer. Our dive guide even accompanied us all the way into the terminal until we were safely checked in. We are so incredibly thankful for this experience. If we get the chance to return to the Maldives, we would choose this exact vessel and crew without a second thought. Thank you so much to the entire Carpe Diem team! We highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking to dive in the Maldives!

Deeply grateful for this trip
The diving with Munkko and Redey was simply amazing! Every dive turned out to be something special :) They made the right choices, they really know where to go at the right time of the day. We had a lot of laughs, jokes and even under water we were having a lot of fun (careful, you can swallow a lot of salt water when laughing during a dive...). Our Sri Lankan chef made us putting on some kilos during only one week. Very fresh and tasty food! The whole crew from the roomboy to the captain were exceptionally friendly. Thank you so much, Carpe Diem Crew! I'm already watching out for the next holidays to spend at the Maldives with you!

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

One of the best time of my life, I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I can.
I enjoy every minutes of the trip. Diving everyday, resting, watching the endless sea before your eyes and temporarily forget all your worries. The trip exceeds my expectation and I can't wait to come back in the future.

An unforgettable experience that you will never forget.
The diving holiday on safari was just amazing! From the first moment we felt super comfortable on board. The crew was extremely friendly, helpful and professional – you can tell right away that there is a real passion for diving behind it.The dive sites were breathtaking: crystal clear waters, impressive reefs and a fascinating variety of marine life. We noticed particularly positively that care was always taken to approach spots that are not overcrowded, so you could enjoy the underwater world in peace. We saw countless rays, manta rays, hammerhead sharks. There was no dive where we didn't see a shark. Individual wishes were also flexibly responded to in coordination with all guests, which made the experience even more personal.A big praise also goes to our diving instructor Wathey: He was always there when you needed support underwater, always made sure that everything ran safely, and at the same time made sure that we could discover the most beautiful highlights.The crew was in a great mood throughout, which made the atmosphere on board particularly pleasant. The team on the dinghy was also very helpful at all times and did a great job.The organization on board went smoothly, everything was perfectly coordinated and stress-free. The food was also top – fresh, varied and always delicious. After the dives, you could relax wonderfully and enjoy the time with like-minded people.For us it is already clear: We will definitely book the boat for the southern route again! Overall, an unforgettable experience that I would repeat at any time. Totally recommended for those who love adventure, nature and diving!

- Friendliness, warmth of the crew. Everything was done so that we could see the best dive sites with few other divers and on individual requests was entered and the dive plan adjusted in consultation with everyone. Essen.

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
