Animals Galore, beautiful boat, awesome crew
The Liveaboard was incredible though some tough diving! You definitely need at least 50+ dives and knowledge of current and reef hooks! Masseh our dive guide was just incredible, friendly and knowledgeable as well. The boat was comfy, even during rough seas and the food was fresh! The one part of the trip I’ll complain about is the island barbecue! They dropped us off on an island with sketchy exit and entry to the island and also there was no bathroom! The island and food were terrific, but the knowledge of no bathroom and how long we would be there I think is important information!

We had a great trip.
Food could have been more diverse in chooses. I am a vegetarian and did have fresh salads which was nice. The shower in our room collected water that was hard to drain. So it sloshed around and was gross. And shower floor never got dry.

Amazing dive trip
I’ve done about a dozen liveaboards and this one gets high marks across the board. The diving was excellent and the dive guides did a great job of managing divers of very different skill level. The food was good and the boat was comfortable. The only things I personally didn’t love were the snorkeling with the whale shark and feeding the sharks on a couple of dives. That said I would 100% do this trip again.

Fantastic experience!
This was my first live board dive trip, and I have to say that it far exceeded my expectations. The boat and the rooms were really nice, the beds were comfortable, and the dive equipment was in excellent condition. The staff was amazing in every way: from the delicious food and extra preparation to meet everyone’s dietary concerns to the cleanliness of the boat to the exceptional dive staff, guides and briefings, everything was top-notch. I didn’t quite understand the timing for pulling up anchor to get to the next location at ungodly hours, but the few hours of lost sleep was made up for by the incredible diversity of marine life that we saw on the dives. We were lucky to have such an amiable group of travelers and everyone seemed to get along pretty well. Small nitpick was that there could have been better communication from LiveAboard about all the extra taxes we had to pay and the AC in our cabin was dripping water all night, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Big thanks to everyone on the Princess Sara crew for looking out for our safety, providing the extra island excursions and all their hard work to make the trip run as smoothly as possible!

Amazing staff and dives!
The overall experience was great! The crew was fantastic. They run a 16 man crew which makes your experience easy and relaxing. Dive masters our well trained and accommodating to customers requests. For example I asked to see a tiger shark and they did a special dive site for us and succeeded in finding ones we also saw 2 whale sharks, over 15 mantas, and hundreds if not thousands of other shark species. The food was vary good, they have a fisherman onboard that catches fresh fish for dinner. I would recommend traveling to the Maldives sooner than later. All the dive sites out starting to get over dived and won’t be to long tell it’s to late. The dive masters do there absolute best to stay away from other divers/ boats but some dive sites it can’t be helped. I will end by saying I 100% recommend this boat and crew. Just let the crew do there job and you will have a great time!

Nice boat. Good crew, Mixed diving
The trip was a bit mixed for me. I am a PADI OWSI and have dove around the world but had not been to Maldives yet. I had high expectations for the dives but they were not as good as expected. Coral reef everywhere in the world has changed and the damage was sad but expected. The divemaster and his team were nice but had a slight language barrier as they were Italian and English was very much a second language. (If you're Italian they are wonderful). The dives were unusually as the divemaster did not do any safety checks on the boat or speak to us other than say jump in the water. Once in we had very long swims at depth of 30+ meters to reach reefs multiple times that exhausted our air before we had time to see much. We also had equipment malfunction where my wife octopus was free flowing right before we entered the water. the divemaster just said bend the ocotopus hose and go. I wouldn't allow that and had to abort the dive. The rest of the divers aborted a few minutes later when the divemaster couldn't find the site. Currents were strong and it was a hard swim back to the boat multiple times. We did get to see black tip sharks on a couple of dives but every dive no matter where we went was impacted with 3 to 10 other boats and divers on the site at the same time. This meant there could be up to 100+ divers in the water on a site at the same time. I was kicked in the face by strange divers at least 8 times on dives. Sorry for the bad stuff but I wanted to put it out there. Good stuff: We saw 2 whale sharks, did a night Manta Dive and a Night nurse shark dive.

Good diving and liveaboard
Really enjoyed the diving, especially shark and mantas. Our dive master kept us safe which is the most important thing (I had trouble with the current at one point and he came over to assist me), but he was not very engaged in pointing out stuff to see or, really, in any other way. Overall the crew was excellent and responsive to any request, but the food was just adequate. Didn’t go hungry, but also didn’t look forward to the next offering.

- We stayed in a Master Suite which was only a little more expensive than a regular cabin. It was enormous and had a wonderfully comfortable king bed. It was the best cabin we have had on any liveaboard.. In the Maldives you dive from a separate large “Doney” (?) which we quite liked. Didn’t see any whale sharks, but lots of mantas, sharks and small stuff.. The boat was only half full of divers so everything was relaxed and easy. On a full boat it might not have been so pleasant..
