Great dive sites and communication with the guests. The cabins were nice and food was the best I have had on 7 Liveaboard experiences. If looking for a Dive Boat in the Maldives, I would recommend this one.

Such a great time!
Yaqui and Nuria were the best dive guides and made sure everything on the trip went smoothly. Customer service was excellent! The Serenity is a nice boat and has lots of space for everyone on board.

Far Exceeded our expectations!
The cabin was much larger than expected, the ship was very nice and in good condition, the main dive guide, Deano, was very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and his main priority was safety. The food was plentiful and excellent. The dives were outstanding and we saw even more marine life than expected. I would highly recommend. We came all the way from New York and didn’t regret it at all!

Great boat - key attention to detail
The rooms on this boat were huge, and premium hotel quality - fitting in with the high level of service on the trip (particularly Alex the front of house manager). The dive team tried hard to make the dives special (the manta night dive was awesome) and get us to sites before other boats so it wasn't crowded. They were also highly detailed in their briefings. The Dhoni was large and spacious and the crew really worked hard and was very ecologically sensitive. I appreciated the dive guide did take time to help with reef hooks - position you in the right place to see the best stuff - though there was an expectation that divers be basically competent & keep up on the descents ect - so best for folks with at least a bit of experience & ability.

Wonderful Experience!
What a great experience! The staff was superb. They were extremely thoughful and 100% customer-focused. Dives and food (in fact the overall experience) were superb. Improvement opportunity: Internet access was expensive, quirky, and almost as bad as dial-up. Guests should verify that its been upgraded (eg, w/ Starlink) or use an eSim.

My first liveaboard ever and gonna be a tough one to beat!!
I have never been on a live aboard so I really didn’t know what to expect, but quickly learned that this is the 2nd largest vessel in the Emperor fleet. Honestly it was perfect. We did 3 dives a day, snorkeled with whale sharks, saw many mantas, the wreck dives and night dive are included. Got my advanced open water and enriched air certification on this trip, but honestly that was pretty expensive comparing to the trips I was going to book before this one as well as anyone I have talked to about it. We didn't experience too strong currents, but I would say minimum 25 dives logged And advanced open water certified before coming to this trip. Average depth was typically 23+ meters so I really don't know what you would be doing if you weren't certified past open water. The food was AMAZING and anyone who says otherwise is honestly just wrong. The crew was so so so amazing and kind and the rooms were fantastic.
