Unique experiences on a very relaxed liveaboard both above and below water!
Night diving with manta rays, snorkeling with whale sharks at the boat, sunset dive with nurse sharks, rays and reef sharks. The dives were without exception very well organized and the dive guides did a great job. Selection of dive sites and drop in were perfect. The crew was always very helpful and the food delicious.We will definitely be back and can only recommend a liveaboard with Carpe Vita!

Sharks and Manta
I did a 7 day LOB on Carpe Vita. It was the best diving I’ve done in my life! Amazing experience seeing so many sharks up close. The water temperature was great and the boat benefited from a Dhoni (separate dive boat attached yo the big boat) which made getting to dive spots much easier. The cabins were comfortable and well maintained. The food was great and always prepared with care. The only thing that would have improved the experience would have been a little more enthusiasm from the dive guides (who must have been very tired after a long dive season!) would recommend
