Unforgettable experience beyond all expactations
This trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The crew was exceptional — highly professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire week. The dive itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to see everything we had hoped for and even more. The food was plentiful and delicious every single day. We are incredibly grateful to the whole crew for such a memorable experience.

Diving with whale sharks and manta rays in paradise
We have now done the route on the Princess Sara for the second time and were again thrilled by the professional handling, the dive sites and the care during the trip. The highlights were the night dive with manta rays, whale sharks snorkeling and diving, and countless small and large sharks. We recommend without reservation, we are already planning the next tour

Best diving experience ever by an experienced crew.
My first Liveaboard, it is incredible & I will do it again. As a beginner diver, I was taken care of from start to finish from my guide Flavio who made me so comfortable under different dive experiences.

Unbelievably great experience! I would come back anytime
The trip was great. We really saw everything we wanted to see. Countless sharks, rays, manta rays. Even tiger and whale sharks.The food was really delicious and there was always enough for everyone. The vegetarian food was also great. Everything was taken into account.The staff is very well organized, fun and helpful. It's a lot of fun to be there. The itinerary is individually adapted to the weather and is strict, direct and good. There is no dawdling, but always concentrating on the essentials.To make the trip over New Year's Eve was even more nice. The beach barbecue on the beach on New Year's Eve was lovely. Everything was decorated with colorful lights and the employees made a great effort.All in all, 10/10!

An excellent week made by the crew and guides.
The crew and Guides did an excellent job despite the conditions being less than ideal. They found us some great dive sites and guided us through some tricky dives with a high level of professionalism and skill. All the crew on the boat worked hard to give us a great week and, while the boat could do with some updates, the service was excellent, the food plentiful and good and the Dhoni crew super efficient.

Wonderful week of diving aboard the Princess Sara!
Superb week spent aboard the Princess Sara! Thank you to all the crew and guides for these amazing dives.My plane was rescheduled to arrive in the afternoon instead of in the morning, but the crew of the Princess Sara came to pick me up directly at the airport at no extra cost. It was really very appreciableThe Princess Sara is a spacious boat with plenty of space and there is room not to feel cramped. The crew pays constant attention to the well-being and safety of passengers. The service is really excellent on all levels. The Dhoni is large enough for everyone to store their equipment and equip themselves easily and the crew of the Dhoni is always attentive during the launching and re-boarding phases.Most dive sites are 15 - 20 minutes from Dhoni from the Princess Sara.On the way back from the dive site, I advise you to go to the rooftop of the dhoni to admire the view of the sea, the turquoise lagoon and the view of the atolls.Meals are served in the form of a wide variety of buffets, vegetables, meat and fish at all meals.Let's talk about the dives! for the most part they are magnificent. Some sites are particularly rich in corals, the Fesdu Wrek wreck is magnificent. Kuda Kah Thila had a density of corals and reef fish, tuna, grey sharks, white tip, black tip. It was incredible. The static night dive with the mantas is really nice and imprints beautiful images in the retina.In May, the visibility underwater is a little less good. The dives in the passes are a little more random depending on the current if it comes from the ocean or if it comes out of the lagoon, you will be able to admire more or less pelagics, but if you are lucky, it can really be a festival of sharks, eagle rays, tuna, Barracudas etc...Not a dive without admiring the reef sharks. The South Male Atoll allowed us to come across a lot of hawksbill turtles.The Tank Shark site in Male allowed us to come across hammerhead sharks and guitar sharks.The highlight of the show is the snorkeling AND diving encounter with whale sharks. It was really magical. On some sites, especially in the Kandus (passes), on the atoll of Vaavu, the coral reef is really very very damaged and the corals are 80% dead but these dives have the interest of being able to admire sharks and eagle rays in the current.The briefings were really detailed with an emphasis on safety and respect for the fauna and flora.To make the most of your cruise, I recommend having an Advance Open Water and a Nitrox certification to limit fatigue. Most dives start around 25-30m and end in the 10-15m zone. An Open Water does not allow you to enjoy the richness of all the sites in my opinion.To sum up: definitely the most beautiful diving experience for me, a great liveaboard experience and a MUST for all lovers of sharks, rays, and pelagics in general.
