Sometimes a deal is a deal for a reason.
Overall a pleasant experience. Because the tip was included the crew and dive guides took little interest in the passengers. The dive boat was very crowded. Getting in and out of the water was chaos at times. The guides didnt track who came on dives which wasnt assuring. They were good at getting us to good dive sites amd all our dives in despite some bad weather. The food was good and the cabin was good. Most of us didnt have hot water in oir showers the 1st 2 days but the crew was quick to address. Food was good. Coffee was meh. And $5 for a coke is ridiculous. Im glad i did it but i would never book with them again. The dives were pretty good though most pretty deep. Lots of current to contend with as well.

Great views and diving. Customer experience needs some love
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip - great sites, views, boat and an international cast of characters that were charming, friendly, and wonderful to share in the experience. The rental equipment was brand new and in abundant supply. The deckhands made it turnkey simple with Nitrox checks, filled tanks, and warm towels. What was discordant, however, was that there was no obvious cruise director, no clear person in charge - of safety, of the wellbeing of the divers, and of ensuring a great customer experience. The boat owner outsourced the dive guides to contractors, one of whom ostensibly served as the cruise director (though nothing remotely close to 'direction' was given and he only indicated he was in charge, after we asked where the director was). We had transactional briefings about our dives, only. Otherwise the 'cruise director' was lying about always playing video games either on the big TV in the main room or stuck to his phone, not interacting with the guests, and generally giving off a dismissive, disengaged, uninterested feeling about the whole experience. Additional observations: - we were asked for the same information as LiveAboard requested, once we arrived - timely, duplicative paperwork that was justified as "we haven't received information about you from LiveAboard" - we were given little macro overview about the schedule - i.e. what we could look forward to, where we were going in future days - there was no safety briefing - ever - the schedule likely would've been better suited to travellers if there was an option to deboard after the morning dive on Sunday - which was wrapped up by 9am and after which we spent the whole day and the next morning on board, but were only a stone's throw away from the Male airport. We recommend there be an option to leave sooner and get on with our vacation In sum: the tour operator seemed like they cared very little about the customer experience and haven't set the expectation, invested in, or done the training for their contractors to provide this. Their paperwork was redundant with yours. And the schedule could be shortened w/o shortchanging the experience. Otherwise, the country, the dive sites, and the wildlife were fabulous.

Fantastic trip with outstanding visibility and fish life.
The views above & below water were amazing. I've never seen so many rays swimming in the water column. The crew & dive guides were so helpful with any questions or issues.

Overall we found the diving was a little underwhelming. While we saw sharks and manta rays etc many of these sightings were manufactured rather than natural. Most dives were strong current dives and while we are happy to do some, it would have been great to have some more slow paced and enjoyable dives. The food was good enough but often cold, staff did not use the food heaters to keep warm. The boat was very tired considering its age and in need of maintenance. The advertising of inclusions on the boat from Liveaboard which we based we based our decision on Felicity are completely incorrect which caused disappointment:- The room had no TV as stated, in fact no rooms had a TV other than the lounge. No camera room or charging station as stated. There was no laundry service as stated. There was no JetSki as stated. There were no kayaks as stated. There was no toiletries included as stated. We missed out on any diving on day 1 and did not leave the marina until the following day as someone’s flight was delayed. The arrivals were very unorganised and we all waited in different areas at the meeting place, which caused delay and confusion. Staff were great, our dive guide Wishoo was fantastic , and we had a nice time, met some lovely people, diving was ok but would not return as a long way to come, and a lot of money to spend for an average diving experience.

Great trip with some caveats
It was a fun trip overall and had lots of interesting Marine Life even in the off season, the crew also taught us to fish which was a fun experience and overall the crew of the Felicity was excellent. However there was no TV in our room (as described in the ad), the jacuzzi was broken and the boat after a couple years shows signs of some wear and tear. They did not seem to do a proper headcount when heading off for dives and the equipment provided was a bit lackluster (not enough reef hooks, poor quality fins with not enough sizes or not enough wet suit choices in more sizes). The dives also felt a bit disorganized, make sure you stay with your DM or buddy as much as possible. Recommended for you to bring as much of your own equipment to ensure you are properly outfitted.

Highly recommend to go to Maldives with Felicity!
Just to be clear here, giving more information for my fellow divers. The overall experience was amazing and Felicity has done a great job leverage the true beauty of Maldives. My friends and I agree that we would rate it 9.5 overal experience, but food 7.5/10 and therefore, let's say 9/10. Pros: - Amazing marine life and diverse from manta rays to micro. We have seen all sorts of sharks (hammer, tiger, bull, lemon, whale and more). - Crew is always willing to help. Big thumbs up to the service crew as well. Divemasters are very knowledgeable and safe. - Beach party one night was great. Enables us to visit a bit the beautiful beaches of Maldives. Big plus. - Spacious cabins Cons: - Food wasn't very diverse compared to our last liveaboard and no desserts. Could of been a plus. - Soft drinks and bottles of water were sold for +-$5 USD a bottle. Should be included... - They cannot do anything about it, but visibility was low to very low at some spots due to bad weather in the few previous weeks.
- Recommended for
- Extremely diverse marine life, from small to huge. Crew attentiveness to details, very caring. Boat was large, spas, very comfortable overall with 3 sun decks.

It's an amazing trip
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and its turned out to be even better than we expected. We love the boat/room/service/food and everything we have been provided along the way. The off season does mean the visibility suffers quite a bit at certain site, but it still offers quite a show. We have seen oceanic mantas, great hammerhead, giant guitarfish, bull shark, lemon shark and countless reef sharks/rays. Our guide Ahmed Wishah Waseem ('Wish') is one of the most lovely guide we have seen have incredible knowledge and passion for this ocean and all the sealife. I will note one thing down and hope management team would consider: the boat need to have some house rules about cut off time on what time you can party until. We have witnessed some 'negotiations' go wrong due to lack of rules, which could have been avoided.

Lots of good things, but not suitable for us as divers with heart and soul.
Wonderful dives, good food, very attentive and helpful crew, always in a good mood. A great week that could have done with more dives. Unfortunately, there was no responsible person to inform us about the ship's rules and behavior on a diving ship and to intervene if necessary. For example, nothing was done about the loud party nights of one group and this was additionally supported with a large music box on the ship. In addition, one of the dive guides also showed the chasing of sharks and manta rays for videos. Although the briefing on this was clear and all the other guides behaved in an exemplary manner. We also missed the safety briefing. Based on this experience, we are unlikely to book the Felicity again, even though the circumstances certainly depended heavily on the participants.
