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.

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.

Luxury liveaboard diving holiday
Diving was extraordinary. Our dive guides showed us reefs and marine life that exceeded expectations.Food and beverages were exceptional, with great variety and everything prepared to perfection. Crew is fantastic, with everybody going out of their way to ensure the best possible guest experience. The boat offers very comfortable cabins and a luxurious spa. All in all this is a liveaboard experience above anything else that I have experienced and I am already looking forward to my next trip with Scubaspa.

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!!

Best liveabord you will ever do
Scuba Spa is so incredible that it may be hard to do any other liveaboard. The boat is insane. It’s a luxury yacht and it’s amazing. Every detail thought out. The crew is the best. They are so kind and helpful and remember details on your likes and dislikes. They go above and beyond all the time. The food is the best you will ever have on a liveaboard. The dive team is top notch. All of them. We had Luci and she is our favorite dive master ever. The diving was awesome. The spa is amazing.

Unexpected luxury on board! We didn't expect a liveaboard to be a floating resort. Each section of the day is accompanied by a dedicated service team, which acts with passion and extraordinary professionalism. The meals were much better than we expected - it is still a mystery to us how you can cook so creatively and internationally on board. The service team has read your every wish from the Aucen, the bar is open around the clock. On board the smaller dive boat is a team of helpers who keep an eye on safety and service at the same time. Our dive guide "Buddy" was the best guide we have had so far. ( and we already had around 150Dives)In addition to thegreat service and the modern and luxurious boat was the Itiniary. In addition to dives and spa, evening BBQs or cocktail bar nights on sandbanks are also part of the program. Last but not least, all ( 18 ) guests on board immediately formed a great group - people from all over the world and of all ages. We will be back!!!

A dream on and under water ! It doesn't get any better than this
A dream on and under water - it doesn't get any more perfect than this!I have done many diving trips, but this safari was absolutely top class in every way. From the first moment to the farewell, everything was just perfect.The boat was well maintained, comfortable, with plenty of space to relax, and at the same time perfectly organized for all diving needs. You immediately felt comfortable and welcome – also thanks to the warm, attentive and incredibly friendly crew, who practically read your every wish from your eyes.The food? A culinary highlight! Fresh, varied, lovingly prepared - every day anew.And then, of course, the most important thing: the dives. Every single one was a highlight! Breathtaking reefs, fantastic visibility, incredible encounters under water – and the whole thing professionally planned and safely accompanied. You could tell immediately: real professionals with passion are at work here.This safari was not just a journey, but an unforgettable experience. TOP, TOP, TOP, TOP, TOP! I would go again in a heartbeat – and highly recommend it to any diver!

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.

What an amazing crew of people who work hard and keep smiling as they ensure you are happy, comfortable, and safe. It was very organized in every aspect. I saw everything I wanted to see during this trip. We were even lucky enough to see a whale shark. I met one couple who was on their 5th time doing this specific liveaboard and I can see why. I would definitely like to come back and do Scubaspa Yang again!

A perfect liveaboard experience
All is great as far as liveaboards go! Fantastic diving sites with all the sealife you can think off (manta, waleshark, turtles, nurse and reef shark and so much more). The food quality is fenomenal, very varied and has been consistent for each meal. The beach visits and bbq was also perfectly organised. The staff is excellent and are a great company and very professional dive guides. There is plenty of individual attention for any needs you might have. The rooms are very comfy even the basic ones. The spa is also great with lots of procedures to offer. The amazing thing it all looks Exactly like the promotional video!) Overall a perfect experience for a qualified driver wanting the best sites the world has to offer. One thing to keep in mind is the prices for the diving training - it is the maldives, so you get 5 dives "scooba diver" training for the price of a full advanced open water training (15 dives) in the most reputable diving school in Thailand. So do your maths if budget is at all an issue. And do budget separately for drinks on the boat as they also carry the maldives price tags (8$ for a small beer and 19$ for an excellent cocktail).

The dive guides were amazing, the passengers and the crew were really friendly on board. The food was pretty decent, people who enjoy seafood will have a great time, people who don't will have an alright time. The dive team customizes the dive itinerary for the skill level of the passengers and coming into it as a fairly inexperienced diver I had a great time.

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!
