We are glad we finally made it to the Maldives.
We were a group of nine and had a great time. They were flexible, we weren't keen on seeing a shark feeding so they took us diving. We saw plenty of sharks which was great. The dinner on the beach was fun. Weather could have ruined it but it all worked out fine.

- We liked our guide a lot but others in our group were not pleased with their guide.. It had a good flow of activities.. Everyone was very polite..

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!

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.
