Detailed & Enthusiastic
I recently returned from an incredible trip on this liveaboard, and it completely exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for world-class diving supported by a seamless operation, this is the trip to book. 3 Highlights That Stood Out: Masterful Dive Planning: The dive guides and briefing plans were top-tier. Every single dive felt intense, well-organized, and packed with action. They knew the sites inside and out, ensuring we always got the best possible experience in the water without ever sacrificing safety. A Crew That Feels Like Family: The entire crew was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality made every day on board a total pleasure. Phenomenal Food: After a long dive, nothing beats coming back to fantastic food. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and thoroughly satisfying.

Great boat, awesome crew, amazing dives
We were really lucky with all guest, everyone gelled and we had a great time on the boat together. The rooms are spacious and especially the bathroom really big compared to other liveaboards we‘ve been on - aircon works well and the beds are comfy. The crew were all super nice and made sure we were well looked after, everything runs like clockwork. The meals were fantastic, lots of choice, so much fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, meat options. Beach dinner and Christmas dinner were incredible, they pulled out all the stops. Little tip, the bottle of 25$ Merlot is delicious 😋 Diving was also great, really well organised, make sure you get a proper check dive with weights as they just skipped that… other than that, amazing - so many sharks, mantas anf turtles on this trip.

Journey to be marked for the rest of your life.
Starting with the service and guidance of the entire team of the Liveaboard.com which was essential for the realization of this trip, as I dealt directly with them without the intermediary of an agency or diving school.The exuberant marine life, paradisiacal dive sites, dives with great visibility and the presence of many stingrays of various types, especially mantas, sharks in abundance with emphasis on whale shark and hammerhead shark.Simply the best trip of my life!!Thank you to the Liveaboard.com team and Carpem Vita Novo.

Diving Heaven!
I embarked upon a diving liveaboard with Carpe Diem in August 2024. The selection of dive sites was varied and for the most part very interesting, which resulted in several very memorable dives. The dive team, who delivered thorough dive briefings, were very personable and always on hand to give advice as necessary - many thanks to Munkko, Saaz & Wathey. The diving operation itself was very slick and this was due in no small part to the excellent work of the Dhoni Capt (Hassanbe) and his team. The liveaboard boat, where we spent most of our time, had great facilities and was very well maintained by the crew. We were always well provisioned with tea, coffee and snacks and the meals were exceptional. A special thanks to Nilanka, Saif & Mahesh who couldn’t do enough to look after us during our 7 days onboard. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Carpe Diem to anyone wishing to get a flavour of the diving in the Maldives.
