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.

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 !

We enjoyed the trip a lot!
We did a 10 day trip with Carpe Novo, and we really satisfied! The diving was mostly amazing - we saw mantas, sharks on every dive, a whale shark. We also visited some beautiful reefs to look for macro life, but that wasn’t the focus. The dive guides and the whole crew were very friendly and made our experience on board really wonderful. The food was amazing, with a good combination of local and international dishes. We had some divers who were on that boat a couple of years ago, and they pointed out that everything was renovated and is brand new. We would recommend that boat and that company for sure, as we had a great time with them 🤩

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!!

Having dived for many years and specially in Maldives, this was my 9th trip for diving there I was very happy with this trip and it went beyond my expectations
Several great sightings from Manta Rays, Whale Sharks, Eagle rays and many reef sharks. Each dive was well planned with safety in mind
