Unbelievably good
Seeing Mantas and Whale Sharks eating plankton from the back of the boat. The staff are wonderful. Food is amazing.. best so far on the 8 Liveaboards completed. Great mix of nationalities and ages of my fellow divers. The boat is a bit dated now but everything works well and the cabins and en-suites are the biggest I have seen on any boat. This is truly great value for money. I liked that we weren’t charged for Nitrox and this was used by everyone on every dive. You can do the course on the trip if not already certified whilst using it to enjoy the diving. Very varied dive sites, never repeated unless by the guests request. Such a helpful and informative crew. Don’t hesitate to book with this company. Carpe Diem is their oldest boat, then Carte Vita ( my experience) and now the Carpe Nova, their latest addition. Choose your route rather than the boat as they are all very well reviewed.

All around recommended
Nightdive, apart from massive amounts of people there were as many sharks. Early morning dives are the best to wake up. Great group atmosphere. Nice cold beer in the evening.

The best Liveaboard
If you are looking for a Liveaboard you should pick Carpe Vita. it is the best Liveaboard I have ever been on. The boat is comfortable, the food was very good and the diving tender you dive off is the best setup I have used. But the thing that makes the Carpe Vita stand out above the rest is the staff. From the time we first sent them an email to the drop off at the airport every thing was perfect, I could not find one thing that they could of done better. The staff on the boat from the captain to the boat boys made our trip into a very relaxing time not a dive boot camp you can get when you do 4 dives a day. They had a perfect mix of professionalism and a relaxed nature and managed to keep to the dive schedule with out any fuss. They are a credit to their company. Probably the best recommendation I could give them is that we will come back no need to try another boat or company. Thanks guys for a wonderful trip

Viagem para ficar marcado para o resto da vida .
Começando pelo atendimento e orientações de todo time do Liveaboard.com que foi imprescindível para a realização desta viagem, pois tratei diretamente com eles sem intermédio de agência ou escola de mergulho. A vida marinha exuberante, locais de mergulhos paradisíacos, mergulhos com ótima visibilidade e presença de muitas arraias de vários tipos, principalmente as mantas, tubarões aos montes com destaque ao tubarão baleia e tubarão martelo. Simplesmente a melhor viagem da minha vida!! Obrigado ao time Liveaboard.com e Carpem Vita Novo.

Excellente prestation tant plongées que confort bateau
Plongées sur sites exceptionnels malgré mauvais temps Je regrette cependant certains choix de sites trop fréquentes. Aussi une coin apero plus convivial sur le bateau

Einzigartige Erlebnisse auf einer sehr entspannte Tauchsafari sowohl über als auch unter Wasser!
Nachttauchen mit Mantas, Schnorcheln mit Walhai beim Boot, Sunset Dive mit Ammenhai, Rochen und Riffhaie. Die Tauchgänge waren ohne Ausnahme sehr gut organisiert und die Diveguides machten ein großartigen Job. Auswahl der Tauchplätze und Drop In waren perfekt. Die Crew war immer sehr hilfsbereit und das Essen sehr lecker. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und können eine Tauchsafari mit Carpe Vita nur weiterempfehlen!
