Extraordinary
Everything about the CV was terrific: the dive sites were fabulous - sharks, rays, fish species that I've never seen before. The food was great; the ship was comfortable, and the crew members, especially the dive team, went out of their way to assure a perfect experience. There was never a question that safety was paramount, the dive team made sure of that. July may not be the ideal time of year for the Maldives, but it didn't matter - the experience was superb.

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.

Great experiential dive cruise in Maldivian waters
As a repeater, I have now been to the Maldives for the 8th time with 189 dives completed there out of my total of 1255 dives as a hobby diver.Personally, I liked the Central Tour very much again and I felt very comfortable, not least because of the only 14 and very pleasant diving guest troops.With their professional diving experience, Naathi and Chaaku are the right dive guides for me for relaxed diving in the Maldivian waters with NX32 and with the fantastic manta rays and the "usual other fish".Draft beer after diving and a sumptuous tasty food offer, with good crew care, left nothing to be desired for me.My holiday conclusion is once again everything done😎🇲🇻👍 right

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 :)
