The set the bar high
As I had never been to the Maldives before this was a great trip, there are so many highlights but I think the best was when we divined with huge manta rays, in the evening we had Whale sharks coming to our boat and I also got to dive with turtles one of my favourite animals.

Amazing boat and food - manta dives the highlight!
The trip was great! This was our fourth liveaboard and this boat/the cabins were the most spacious yet :) Amazing food and many options on board for all types of eaters! This was the “Best of the Maldives” tour that visited several atolls and points of interest :)

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.
