Journey to be marked for the rest of your life.
Starting with the service and guidance of the entire team of the Liveaboard.com which was essential for the realization of this trip, as I dealt directly with them without the intermediary of an agency or diving school.The exuberant marine life, paradisiacal dive sites, dives with great visibility and the presence of many stingrays of various types, especially mantas, sharks in abundance with emphasis on whale shark and hammerhead shark.Simply the best trip of my life!!Thank you to the Liveaboard.com team and Carpem Vita Novo.

The best Liveaboard
If you are looking for a Liveaboard you should pick Carpe Vita. it is the best Liveaboard I have ever been on. The boat is comfortable, the food was very good and the diving tender you dive off is the best setup I have used. But the thing that makes the Carpe Vita stand out above the rest is the staff. From the time we first sent them an email to the drop off at the airport every thing was perfect, I could not find one thing that they could of done better. The staff on the boat from the captain to the boat boys made our trip into a very relaxing time not a dive boot camp you can get when you do 4 dives a day. They had a perfect mix of professionalism and a relaxed nature and managed to keep to the dive schedule with out any fuss. They are a credit to their company. Probably the best recommendation I could give them is that we will come back no need to try another boat or company. Thanks guys for a wonderful trip

Amazing diving trip with great crew, delicious food and choice sites
I had the best-ever liveaboard experience with Carpe Vita. The logistics was like clockwork! The crew knew the right sites to get to to ensure the guests saw the best the Maldives had to offer. The dive planning was great with clear dive briefings, including Plan B. Food was variable and delicious. Thank you
