Great trip!
I had a great trip. The other guests were French speaking but the guides (also French) went out of their way to keep me involved and informed. The staff were happy and keen to help too.

Great value for money
I spent a week on the Ocean One in the central atolls of the Maldives, specifically in Ari Atoll. It was my fourth cruise with Liveaboard.com (the first three were in Egypt). Before departing, I had several concerns: from the photos the boat looked somewhat dated; many reviews criticized the guides, saying they were not very helpful and that all briefings were conducted only in French; moreover, I was a bit apprehensive about diving in the Maldives, which I had read could be very demanding. I would say that all of these concerns turned out to be unfounded. The boat is indeed a bit dated, but the photographs reflect neither more nor less than its actual condition, and in any case, although not brand new, the boat is very comfortable. The dive guides were outstanding, probably the best I have ever had: not only were the briefings conducted as needed in three languages (English, French, and Italian), but the primary language was always English; furthermore, the guides were highly professional and, during the dives, went out of their way in every possible manner to assist the divers and make their experience the best possible. Diving in the Maldives can indeed be challenging, but as mentioned, the guides managed everything in the best possible way. Another pleasant surprise was the food on board, again probably the best I have ever encountered on a diving cruise and well above expectations. My wife and I spent an amazing week and already miss the Ocean One.

Great people
Great people on board and went to great extent to make a non French speaker at home. Clean room and common area. Food wise, the choice is limited guess cos maldives itself import most food except fishes, banana and coconut.

So many amazing memories from this trip and I can't wait to make more!
My daughter and I decided to do our very first liveaboard in 2024 and I can't imagine a better place to start. The dive guides were knowledgeable and patient and were able to cater to everyone's experience level. While I wouldn't describe this as a luxury liveaboard, it was absolutely perfect for our budget and even exceeded some of our expectations. I tend to be a bit of a picky eater, but the food was better than I could have hoped for. Most of my boat excursions have been with larger commercial cruise ships, so I'm very glad that I chose an upper level cabin. Even when the boat would move at night, the rocking never caused any sea sickness for myself or my daughter.

- The location. No one could have a bad time surrounded by such beauty.. The crew were amazing. I didn't have a single bad interaction with anyone on the boat....everyone was friendly and helpful.. The diving was spectacular. The manta dives were my absolute favorite..

Simply great
This was by far the best liveaboard I've experienced. This was mainly due to the philosophy that is lived on this boat. Top. Great food, extremely friendly and hardworking staff. The guids change with each dive. Very cool. My next dive trip in the Maldives will definitely be on this boat again.Thanks again to everyone.Best regards, Yvonne
