Up to 36 guests (maximum 26 divers) can be accommodated in 17 guest cabins (5 Manta Suites, 3 Dolphin Suites, 1 Cowrie Suite, 8 Sea Star Cabins).

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.

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.

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.
