Beautiful Baa Atoll
I loved this trip, The crew and the dives guides made it a peaceful and exciting livaboard trip. Even though the boat did not move much - probably waiting for Hanifaru to activate - the dives were very different from one another and there was a very good variety of sealife. I would personally avoid the places where there are lots of other people even if that means avoiding the "top spots". But that's just me. I wish I can extend my next trip to more days in Carpe Diem

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

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.

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.

Loads to see. I will go again.
Taking the trip that went to the north was excellent. Got to see plenty of sharks and whale sharks and manta rays. They don’t call this trip manta madness for nothing. So good, I will return.

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!

Beautiful sea life with a shark seen on almost every dive, plus whale sharks and mantas!
We had a great experience on this 7-day trip aboard Carpe Diem. The boat is very professionally run, well-designed, well-maintained, and clean. The staff were super friendly, and the food was far better than we expected. We did three dives per day and always saw great dive sites teeming with life. Some highlights were seeing hammerheads, tiger sharks, and countless rays at the tuna factory, swimming with friendly nurse sharks, snorkeling with giant whale sharks covered in remoras, observing many manta rays swooping by, and finding at least four octopuses. Truly a wonderful diving vacation!
