a wonderful holiday full of friendly people and incredible experiences
I can only recommend Ocean One, the crew was great, nice and helpful. When we only wanted to snorkel, they always accommodated us and made a program just for us. The accommodation, food and crew were amazing. Excellent vacation and I definitely want to go with this boat again

A Trip of a Lifetime
Ocean One employs some of the best dive guides I have ever dove with. One dive I will never forget is the first dive we did, we encountered so many manta rays. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry during the encounter.

Wonderful diving experience among the central atolls
Beautiful dive cruise on Ocean One.The ship is very comfortable and safe with 4 decks and large cabins, and the staff, always helpful and professional, prepared local seafood and Italian specialties throughout the week.Diving with Francesco, Irey and his group of experienced divers has always been safe among the sites in the central atolls of the Maldives.We were able to see spectacular manta rays, gray reef sharks, moray eels, turtles, tuna and fish of wonderful colors over and over again, immersed in the beautiful Maldivian coral reef.In addition we also visited two islands with an aperitif on white beaches.The environment is very international with explanations in Italian, English and French.I will definitely repeat this experience with the cruise of the southern atolls.Also great closing barbecue.

Exceeded my expectations, great liveaboard!
Was on the central maledives cruise starting December 4th 2023 and it was an absolute blast! The boat is in great condition and very spacious. Food was superb - Buffet for breakfast and lunch, set menu for dinner. The crew catered for all special diets like vegan food perfectly. The dives were phenomenal. Channel and thila dives with dozens of grey sharks, eagle ray, manta rays, whaleshark, turtles, octopus, so nothing else to wish for. You should consider that there are many dives at 30m with very strong currents, and with four instructors for 20-30 guests, you should be comfortable to dive alone with your buddy in challenging conditions. The guests and instructors were mostly French natives. But Lucila, one of the instructors, mostly took care of the six international guests. She did an amazing job to make sure that all info and briefings were provided in English and that we had a great time under water and on board. Thanks Lucila and the whole team for such a great experience!

Best diving experience in the Maldives!
The whole experience during my liveaboard with Les Amis des Maldives was absolutely amazing! It really surpassed all my expectations. Since the very first moment I felt like at home, as everybody made me feel super comfortable (crew, instructors...) and also I was lucky to meet nice people and we became the best diving buddies! We had some really cool dives: I can say the best dives of my life as we saw many different species of sharks, mantas, eagle rays, turtles, octopus, beautiful fish and coral, and so on... The underwater wildlife in the Maldives is really amazing and also at night, after dinner, we could see the whaleshark, mantas, dolphins, cuttlefish... right next to us, coming next to the boat and it was such a beautiful moment to experience. All the people working on Ocean One was always making sure that we have the best diving experiences: planning the itinerary and the dive sites very carefully always having in account those which have the best conditions depending on the weather and currents and making sure that there are no other divers apart from us. We did many cool dives (23 in total) and all the instructors are really nice and super good instructors. Mostly Lucila made me feel super comfortable underwater and was always making sure that we were having the best experience. Also on the boat she was always helping us with everything we needed and everytime I needed something Lucila, Francesco and all the instructors were there to help and make us feel better. I really appreciate that and I'm so grateful. Talking about the crew, they are the nicest people I've ever met, always ready to help us with a smile, they deserve the best! Also the food on board is really nice and they did the impossible to make a diary-free diet just for me, I really appreciate that, thanks chef!Thank you so much to everybody for making possible this amazing experience in the Maldives that I will never forget!Alexandra.

Best diving experience
We had such a great time. The dive sites were outstanding. In the beginning, it was a bit challenging because we are not experienced divers but the guides took special care of us. The total crew was unbelievable friendly and the food was so good.

Best trip
**A Memorable Safari Boat Experience!** I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari boat trip, and it exceeded all of my expectations! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely breathtaking. The boat was comfortable, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing day on the water.
