Having a great relaxing experience in the onboard spa (what a great idea to go for a massage after 3 dives in a day - bliss!!). Awesome trip, we will definitely look for a chance to come back again!

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!!!

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 :)

First liveaboard experience, let's just say the standard has been put through the ceiling.
Meeting 17 other like minded people who are all open and happy to be there. We created a lovely bond amongst others which totally enhanced the trip. The night dive to the jetty was the most amazing dive yet for us. To have sting rays, reef shark and fish swimming around you, on and through you in qty was exhilarating. The food that was prepared by the chefs was really diverse and catered for everyone at the highest standard even though it was buffet style. So delicious, so many courses and delicious flavours.

Exceeded all Expectations
Let’s start with… I booked this liveaboard as a solo traveler and I left the week with a new scuba family. Any and all expectations were exceeded on this trip. The staff, were always there to help you, serve you and anything you may need. The food is out of this world so good. The room is comfortable, has AC and is cleaned everyday. If you are looking to do a liveaboard, do not waste your time looking for a boat that isn’t this. This was a lifetime experience that I hope to do again as soon as possible. It was truly a dream come true!

Floating 5-star hotel
The boat was like a true 5-star hotel on water. Excellent food of high quality with great selection and variety. Special events like BBQ on the beach and sunset cocktail on a deserted island was great add-ons to an already packed and exciting program. The dive crew was great and delivered spectacular dives. I would recommend to go in Dec-Mar, where you have higher visibility in the water and better weather.

Superb boat, fantastic diving and lovely crew
One of us dives and one doesn't but on Scubaspa we each had an equally great holiday. Think of a floating five star boutique hotel with an award winning spa and the best staff you could hope for. Add to it top quality diving that just kept giving with attentive and knowledgeable guides. Throw in some super travelling companions great food and lots of fun and you have a trip aboard the Scubaspa Yang. I must also thank Liveaboard.com for making sure everything worked smoothly and all requests were looked after.

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!

Awesome diving experience in perfect ambience
Beautiful boat and awesome crew. Simon, Laura and Tristan were the perfect Boat directors and very interested in our safety and personal well-being. We felt very welcome all the time and always had someone around for a nice chat. The dive teachers Mox and Wishoo are very experienced and know every dive spot by heart. We had a stunning trip and loved every minute of it. The highlights were the BBQ on a private island - so beautiful! So as the night dive surrounded by hundreds of sharks. Also the diving spots were well chosen, every single one had its own speciality. Food and service were amazing too, we could ask for everything anytime. We do definitely recommend the Scubaspa Ying experience and will come back for our next diving adventure! Thanks to the whole crew for the great trip!

A most wonderful vacation with 17 diverse dives in pure luxury
so many things about this trip were just perfect, and I wish I could do it at least once a year and for at least 2 weeks. The natural setting combined with this exquisite boat and the excellent staff was just amazing. Fellow divers reminded me that there are lots of other beautiful dive spots to discover and great options in terms of liveaboards and resorts, but I can't imagine any will live up to the combination of awesomeness that I experienced on the ScubaSpa Yang.
