Lifechanging trip overcoming fear of sharks & best diving in the world!
This was hands down the best liveaboard in the Maldives. The staff were all incredible, they made the experience so memorable. I had a phobia of sharks and have been diving to overcome this (successfully) since 2022, however, this was going to be my first time diving with sharks. Bryony was my dive instructor and she was the best I've ever had. Professional, patient, understanding, inspiring and fun. HAving Shark Guardian on-board meant we got to take part in shark conservation and learn about sharks, their behaviours and how to dive with them. Both Brendon at Shark Guardian and Bryony changed my life and this was one of the best weeks of my life. I am able to now dive with sharks and enjoy it! The food was delicious, and the staff provide such a personal experience on board and offer a more premium trip to other boats. This includes group dinner under the stars, beach dinner and private island experience and from the moment you step on you feel at home and there is world class diving, the best instructors and every single detail is taken care of. This was an unforgettable trip and we 10000% recommend.

Treat yourself and book this trip!
In the first week of May 2026, we were able to enjoy an eight-day cruise in the Maldives. Our expectations were high, but even those high expectations have been exceeded. What a fantastic experience! All the staff is superb; sweet, attentive, helpful, hospitable and always present in a pleasant way! They are all super good at what they do! The diving was fantastic and every time there was fantastic and varied food ready! With a lump in our throats we said goodbye to the boat and the crew! A trip that we have been looking forward to for a long time, but that we can look back on with great pleasure for much longer! Really a party!

A holiday of a lifetime
Being a learner diver, the diving was fantastic, all the dive leaders were so lovely & helpful, all the crew were friendly and generally lovely people. Food was delicious. Everything was taken care of, especially all the dive gear. Very safety conscious so felt safe all the time. The crew on the Dive boat always their to lend you a hand getting in & out of the water, sorted any problem you may have. The whole experience was a highlight, the night we were treated dinner on an island, felt like we were in a postcard, unbelievable. I could go on and on, we are a very lucky family to have had the experience.

Magical Maldives aboard the ScubaSpa Ying
The whole team was secretly planning a birthday surprise for me! From the LiveAboard reservations team (Thank you Faye), to the ScubaSpa cruise manager (Thank you Mario!), to my wonderful dive master (Thank you Tinny!!) 😁 making for an absolutely woooonderful and magical trip!! I was surprised underwater and above water, we were blessed with giant manta rays and a bright rainbow ! We navigated through sun & rain, visited many wonderful dive sites, enjoyed super relaxing spa treatments, and made deep and lasting friendships ❤️⚓️🌊🐠☯️🧜🏽♀️

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 :)
