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.

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.

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.
