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.

Highly Recommend - We'll be Back!
Fantastic experience. Crew was unbelievable, diving was fantastic. Went with my fiance on her first liveaboard and she is sold. I would do this route again, with Scubaspa, in a heart beat. We will be back on Scubaspa next year on another route!

Excellent Dive Trip
This trip was one of the best we have ever done; we have been diving with 2 teens for the last 6 years, twice a year. The crew is excellent in every way including taking care of our teens. The Yang is a superb boat, like a mini cruise ship, with all the comfort and a dive tender that is very spacious for max 20 divers. We definitely recommend this trip and will likely return ourselves. Thanks!

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.
