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.

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!

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.

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.

so much fun, I wish we had done a longer liveaboard
The divemasters were all great. The rotated around and really respected the life/environment. We had some great dives seeing manta rays, sharks, and worked hard to make it enjoyable and comfortable. We even met the owner who joined for a few days. It was really nice to have a couple sunset happy hours on sand bars / beaches. Food was pretty good - breakfast is repetitive but lots of good lunches and dinners. Tons of delicious tuna,

Wow! What an amazing experience!
I had such an amazing trip with Ocean 1. From start to finish, the crew and intructors were exceptional. So friendly and cannot do enough to make your experience the best it can be. For the few English speakers onboard (majority French onboard), attention was taken by all, but particularly by Luli who looked after us and made sure we understood our briefings and itinerary. She guided us on most of our dives and was very caring, helpful, and fun. I love her respect for the ocean & only wished every diver could appreciate marine life as much as her. The diving was insane... we seen so much and the majority of the dive sites were amazing. Even from the back of the boat on an evening- we had mantas, whale sharks, nurse sharks and dolphins. The dives were occasionally challenging however, therefore not suitable for those who don't have much experience- advanced minimum. The Donhi crew were great, very helpful and friendly. Special mention to Akram, super attentive and talented barman who kept the fun going throughout the evenings with his tasty cocktails. The jacuzzi- coupled with incredible shooting stars most evenings was a great addition. The cabins were very comfortable, though would benefit from some reef safe shower gel/ shampoo etc. dispensers. The food was lovely, there was so much of it! Fresh fish dishes caught from the boat, chicken and vegetarian options. We had additional activities like kayaking to a local island and beach time, and a trip to a sandbar for apero time which was brilliant. All in all it was a fabulous trip! And one I would definitely recommend to other diving friends! Thanks again to Luli & Checco who made this trip as fun as it was x
