The Best Liveaboard Experience: Five Stars is an Understatement
From the moment we stepped aboard until our reluctant departure, our liveaboard trip was, quite simply, the best dive vacation we have ever taken. This is more than a dive boat; it’s a floating haven where luxury, world-class diving, and impeccable service converge. If you are looking for the ultimate adventure delivered with genuine warmth and attention to detail, book this trip immediately. World-Class Encounters Under the Waves: The diving was nothing short of extraordinary. The crew consistently put us on world-class sites, delivering the kind of marine life encounters that most divers only dream of. Every single dive felt like a page out of a documentary. We were spoiled with multiple, up-close encounters with majestic manta rays, breathtaking sightings of a whale shark, and exhilarating dives surrounded by various species of sharks and dozens of graceful eagle rays. Combined with the stunning health of the reefs—vibrant, beautiful, and teeming with life—it was a truly unforgettable underwater spectacle. Service, Comfort, and Those Perfect Details: The professionalism and friendliness of the crew were outstanding. They managed to be highly professional and safety-conscious while making us feel like family. Beyond the diving, the ship itself felt like a boutique hotel. Our cabins were spacious and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a long day of diving. But it was the little details that elevated the experience into pure luxury. From the beautifully set dining tables at every meal to the charming whaleshark drawn in the foam of our morning cappuccino, the crew's dedication to guest happiness shone through in every interaction. A Culinary Revelation for Vegans: As vegans, dining on a liveaboard can often be challenging, but the kitchen staff here delivered an absolutely fabulous culinary experience. They made the biggest effort to ensure we had varied, delicious, and exciting food for every single meal. We didn't just get a side salad; we were treated to creative, flavorful dishes that rivaled top-tier restaurants. Their dedication went far beyond expectation, making the food a true highlight of the entire trip. Final Verdict: This liveaboard sets the gold standard for dive travel. Incredible diving, spotless accommodations, and a crew that executes every detail with passion and grace. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Liveaboard of dreams
Scubaspa Maldives has been, without question, the best liveaboard I have ever been on. From the moment you step on board, you feel welcomed, cared for, and completely spoiled. The staff is unbelievably friendly—every single person goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, memorable, and effortless. The boat itself is pure luxury. Everything is impeccably clean, beautifully maintained, and designed to make you feel like you’re on a floating boutique hotel rather than a traditional liveaboard. The common areas, the rooms, the spa, the decks… all flawless. The food deserves its own mention. There is a wide variety at every meal, and the quality is honestly exquisite. Fresh, flavourful, and prepared with so much care—you look forward to every single menu. As for the diving: exceptional. The dive guides are extremely experienced, capable, and attentive. You always feel safe and supported, whether it’s your first time in the Maldives or your hundredth. Their knowledge of the dive sites and currents is impressive, and every briefing is thorough and reassuring. If you want a luxury liveaboard experience that combines world-class diving with incredible hospitality, Scubaspa Maldives is truly unmatched. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Diving in a lap of luxury!
Loved it!! The diving was amazing and crew were so helpful. The Dhoni made it really easy to set out gear and get ready. The food was fabulous. I loved the massage that I could sneak it. Incredible sunsets. My husband, who doesnt dive, joined me to snorkel. He enjoyed being taken to isolated islands for nice lovely snorkels everyday. It was the ultimate in luxury and fun diving!!!

A perfect trip, highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable yet very comfortable diving experience
We had an incredible 5-day diving experience on the ScubaSpa Yang! The entire crew was not only welcoming but also dedicated to making our trip truly exclusive. Jim, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making us feel right at home. The diving team was equally fantastic. They were highly professional and made sure we felt completely safe at all times. Our guide, Ahu, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and always eager to share his expertise with us. Each dive was not only safe but full of fascinating insights into the underwater world. The pre-briefing sessions were also very helpful and insightfull to make the best of our experience. A perfect trip from start to finish! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable diving experience yet very comfortable and relaxing, with great food and the nicest vibes. The LiveAboard team was also very accomodating and perfectly communicated with us from booking to arrival.

Beyond incredible!
This has been our best Liveaboard experience we have ever had! The boat is stunning, the food was absolutely incredible (with lots of options) and the diving could not have been better. Mantas, whale shark, currents, colors, it had everything! The currents here are very strong and a reef hook is needed on most dives so the diving in the Maldives is not for beginners but it has to date been the best diving experience that we have had and we have been to some pretty incredible places. I couldn’t recommend this boat any more highly and we cannot wait to visit again :)

Best liveaboard experience in 20 years
The boat is more like a luxury hotel, with large, clean rooms and bathrooms. The staff were extremely professional, anticipated every need ahead of time and went above and beyond, to make this a five star experience! Food was fantastic and the dive experience with the dedicated guides was the best in my 20 years of liveaboard diving with a variety of companies around the world.
