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 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.

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.

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.

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%!

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..
