Manta Madness on the Carpe Vita
A perfect week on a perfect dive boat. We had a great time with the crew and the other guests and were able to fully enjoy the fascinating world of the Maldives. The highlight was certainly the dive at the Manta cleaning station (Dhonfanu Thila) with six manta rays.
- Recommended for
- The dives to the individual spots were unique and very well planned. There were so many beautiful animals to discover (Whale Shark, Mantas, Reff sharks, Turtles, etc.). The food and general service were very very good. The crew is very friendly and helpful and you can always have fun and joke with the people.

Just Amazing
This trip is really worth it. You do 18 dives and spend a week on the boat all inclusive for a small budget compared to what you get.

It’s not exactly a spa and much better than that
The Carpe Vita was my fist liveaboard. I did as positively surprised about the space and food quality. As well as about the crew and diving in Maldives. My drip was in Sep. 2020 during Covid and is likely not compatible to the masses usually on and under the water. Anyhow, this trip with Carpe Vita showed me the joy of liveaboards and I am grateful for that.
