Much more than expected!
I started this journey without expectations but I found special people in the crew, beautiful activities, amazing dive sites and great food on board. Checco, Irey, Muhey and everyone helped us to enjoy this experience at the best and they made it! A lot of beautiful dive sites, deserts islands where to chill, kayak, paddle board, fish. The boat is huge, with a lot of good common spaces, and nice rooms. Internet works most of the time. I recommend Ocean One and Checco’s crew 100%!

Incredible scuba diving week exploring the central Maldives
It was our first time scuba diving in the Maldives, and we’re so glad we chose Ocean One for the experience. The organisation was smooth, the crew and dive guides were incredibly friendly, and the rental gear was in great condition — we always felt safe and well taken care of. In addition to exploring vibrant dive sites teeming with life, we had unforgettable encounters with manta rays and sharks. We also enjoyed two relaxing island visits and a fantastic sunset barbecue right on the boat. All in all, it was a truly unforgettable trip, and we’d happily dive with Ocean One 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.

amazing
Dear Ocean one, it was a fantastic experience on your liveaboard. We had a great time. The crew members were also amazing, especially Lou. She was by far the best guide. She took care of the English speakers and did this with great passion. Her briefings before the dives were very clear. We had already done several diving trips and liveaboards where we received different guides and briefings. This allows us to conclude that Lou's passion, knowledge and dedication to diving was excellent. Checco also took great care of the less experienced divers and reassured them. We definitely want to come back with the Ocean One. If there is one point of criticism, it is that the boat is slightly dated. However, the rooms were clean and tidy and the food was very good. We have lost our hearts to the Maldives. Thanks to ocean one and the crew. Lots of love Yannick, Stephan and Sophie

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.

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 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.
