No question, this was the best vacation I’ve ever had and will honestly be booking another liveaboard with Emperor. Just have to decide which of the other great trips they offer to go on next.
The dive briefings were efficient and effective. I always felt prepared for each of the 3 daily dives. Furthermore, the dive guides were amazing at pointing out unique creatures (e.g. leaf- and frog-fish) and each dive was unique. The food was plentiful and tasty. I was also very surprised at how well the passengers all got along. I am not highly sociable but easily found common ground to discuss with all the other passengers. It turned into a surprising highlight for the trip.

- The wonderful service both onboard and diving.. Daily schedules full but not overwhelming. Maldives underwater beauty. Surpasses anything seen in Bonaire or Hawai’i.

One of the best diving experiences
We had an amazing one week with Emperor Leo. The dive guides were fantastic, the crew was friendly and the cabins were comfortable- making the whole experience memorable. We saw everything from mantas, eagle rays, dolphins, whale shark, a variety of reef sharks, etc.

Manific
Swimming and diving with sharks and manta rays what a joy, the guides finally with real skills (a big thank you to Jules for his welcome and these skills), a really good staff with a great atmosphere. In conclusion, a manific moment.

My trip to Male and to the Maldives was a "lifetime experience"!
Seeing the whale sharks, and the manta rays! Those were the two reasons that I booked the trip. The city tour to Male was a "bonus" - something that gave me a good cultural experience, and a way to see how other people in the world actually live.
- Recommended for
- 1. The diving was phenomenal! 2. The crew, service, and food was great! 3. The new friendships that I made with all of the other divers on the trip. We have all exchanged emails.
