Amazing dives, while treated like princes on board !

Thus was my first liveaboard, and definitely not the last one! Everything was more than excellent: dives were incredibles, divemaster and guides super attentive and serious, they took really good care of us, with particular attention to all diver ability and necessities. We dived with tons of huge Mantas, sharks, rays, schools of fishes, octopuses...well, it was AMAZING. The staff on board was adorable, food excellent, room are comfortable and clean. I will certainly come back to explore Maldives with the other itineraries proposed by Carpe Diem !

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.

Recommended for
Stunning dives sites. Very good food. Experienced dive guides.
