Amazing experience with Emperor Serenity!
Even better than we had hoped for! The crew was fantastic, super friendly and always helpful. Everything was well arragend and all facilities and the dive equipment were in very good condition. We liked the setup with the separate dive boat (dhoni), which was very convenient. Attention to safety was also very good. We did the Best of Maldives itinerary and loved the diversity of the dives. Focus was on pelagics but some divesites also had very beautiful corals and nice macro life. Altogether, highly recommended!

A fantastic liveaboard experience all round.
Whale sharks, Mantas and amazing night dives with nurse sharks and stingrays. Maybe I was lucky, but there was such an interesting mix of nationalities among the crew and guests. The days were filled with great diving and the evenings with tall tales, laughs and good food.

Everything was sooooo good! Guides including crew were so friendly and kind. Boats are clean & well maintained. The variety of food was also awesome. The only one thing i want to say is that, I m not the vegan, but i think the food was limited for vegan. I will be back!

Excellent boat and staff with fantastic diving - you can't go wrong here
This is a very well run dive operation with a fantastic pair of dive managers, Gabriel and Maria. They both really look after you and the experience level of the guiding I received was second to none. (Gabriel is both full cave and tech certified and very experienced). Gabriel the DM and boat manager went way above and beyond to make sure we got in the water at the right time and location to see everything we wanted to. Highly recommend this boat and crew, it was the best liveaboard I've done yet.

A wonderful trip on the Emperor Serenity
We had a liveaboard with the Emperor Sererenity for a week in Maldives. Our room was super clean and it was tidied after every single dive. All of the crew were very kind and helped us all the time. Our dive guides Lexie and Bruno were super professional. Whenever we faced small problems in our dives, they always explained to us what we needed to do in that situation after that dive. It was so helpful to improve our diving skills! We will definetly go back and join this company with lovely guides and crew. Hyojin Kim, Zafer Erdim İnal

Scuba Christmas trip
Diving: the briefings were very thorough and fun, the dive sites were well-chosen and delivered virtually all marine life we hoped to see. Transfer from the main boat to the dhoni to go diving was very smooth with easy access to the dive sites. Our dive guide was professional and respected our wishes and experience level, though a bit shy. Boat & cabin: the boat was fairly new so certainly in excellent state. Maintenance and cleanliness was better than we experienced on a previous liveaboard trip. The cabin size is good, the bathroom is spacious and homely. Food: as my wife is Malaysian, she is very critical of food but felt the food on this trip was "amazing". The cooks managed to prepare lots of delicious food with plenty variety. They made a birthday cake for me on the first night without us having requested it. The BBQ on the beach, Christmas dinner, Maldivian night dinner and so on, were all superb. Overall, the level of customer service was exquisite, the crew really went out of their way to make the trip as enjoyable as it could be. Highly recommended!
