Highlights
The Carpe Novo is the largest yacht of the Carpe Diem fleet offering year-round diving in the Maldives. 12 comfortable cabins spread over 3 decks cater to 22 guests onboard. The Junior Suites, located on the upper deck, have double or twin beds and ocean views. The 6 standard cabins located on the lower deck have either one queen-size bed and a single bed or two single beds. There are also two single suites located on the main deck, ideal for solo travelers. Also on the main deck is the large air-conditioned salon with panoramic views, flat screen TV, entertainment system and library. The upper deck serves freshly prepared dishes at the al-fresco dining table so guests can enjoy the stunning views and sea air. The sun deck has plenty of padded loungers and a partially shaded seating area for tanning in between dives or enjoying a sunset cocktail.
Itineraries on Carpe Novo cover some of the Maldives' best dive sites. The classical routes are 7-10 nights long and explore the Male, Ari, Vaavu and Rasdhoo atolls to name a few. The Deep South trips are for more experienced divers who will be rewarded with hammerhead encounters and thrilling channel diving. Diving takes place from the dedicated dive dhoni (boat) which is fully equipped to give divers all the space they need for kitting up, gear storage, and rinsing. There is also a dedicated camera room with charging ports and a dry area for changing batteries and memory cards, so you don't miss out on the action.

Best dive trip
I enjoyed my second trip on Carpe Novo very much, this was my very best dive trip at all up to now. The tour motto „Manta Madness“ did not disappoint, we saw a lot of Mantas. My dive guide Naveen was very experienced, engaged and caring.

Mantas, mantas, mantas!!
Was excellent in every regard. Food was always very good and the cabins were cleaned multiple times a day. Diving was excellent, guides know the best spots and how to tackle them to get the best experience. E.g. night dive in feshdoo lagoon with many mantas, cleaning station, whalesharks in the night etc. Had the best manta encounters in my life - thank you very much!!

Great stay - highly recommended
I had a great stay at Carpe Novo - From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel at home with their warm hospitality and impeccable service. The boat itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, offering everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The guides offered there support 24/7, making a great job to ensure safe and in the same time fun dives. The food was amazing, with a lot of fresh options and it was served in an amazing open-air dining area. In between dives, there were plenty of opportunities to relax on the sun deck, enjoy a cup of coffee or take a nap in the saloon. I enjoyed the stay so much that I directly booked a second week to spend on the boat. I would highly recommend this trip to any diver and can't wait to return.
