Trip of a lifetime - didn't want to leave (Scubaspa Ying/ Yin)
To be clear, we were on Scubaspa Ying (Yin?). The only reason I don't mention diving specifically in the top 3 is that the staff can't really control that lol, but diving was fabulous, extremely safe, with small groups each with its own divemaster (our divemaster, Akki was fabulous but all DMs were helpful skilled, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour). Equipment and dive boat well maintained.

Every diver's dream, the Scuba Spa
The best part was the cleanliness of the scubus wave. Briefing time before all the dives, delicious food, friendly crew, safe dive instructors, and all the crew are there to help us if we have any problems or questions. The perfect sea, the perfect ship, and the perfect people make the Scubus Spa a program worthy of the world's No. 1 liveaboard reputation.

Amazing trip!
Seeing Manta Rays up and close for the whole dive. Enjoying the amazing company of the divers and the crew! 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!

the best dive guides
All 17 dives were amazing and unique. The guides planned each dive thoughtfully, based on weather, current, water clarity, guests abilities and interests, etc. We saw mantas, sting rays, eagle rays, sharks, colorful fishes and corals, turtles, eels, dolphins, and even a tiny octopus.

Best dive holiday ever
The wildlife was the ultimate highlight of this trip. There was so much life on these reefs! There were dives for different skill levels, and I was definitely happy that I took the nitrox course so that I got that longer bottom time to hang with the sharks at their cleaning stations. The staff were all wonderful: the dive guides were experienced and helpful, the chefs and servers were skilled in their crafts, the bartender was friendly and available, the behind-the-scenes guys were just that—returning to a perfectly refreshed room daily. I enjoyed the spa treatment I received as well. Totally fantastic experience! I can't wait to go back! Thanks a heap to the scubaspa team!!
