Highlights
The 50m Scubaspa Yang liveaboard is the sister vessel to the Scubaspa Ying, which offers year-round diving holidays in the Maldives. Winner of multiple awards, the Scubaspa Yang provides a truly luxurious diving experience in the Maldives. 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). One suite and one cabin can be converted into a triple to accommodate 3 guests. All cabins feature en-suite bathrooms and individually controlled air conditioning. The 8 suites located on the main deck all offer panoramic sea views.
The restaurant is located on the main deck and serves three buffet-style meals, plus an à la carte menu. There are live cooking stations, and internationally qualified chefs cater to all dietary needs. There is also an alfresco dining area at the rear of the main deck, and there will be the opportunity to enjoy a BBQ on a deserted island during your stay. The onboard spa spans 300 m² and features 4 treatment rooms, including a double room designed for couples.
Diving from the Scubaspa Yang takes place from the accompanying dive dhoni, which carries all the necessary equipment, including air compressors, a nitrox filling station, rinse tanks, and dive equipment storage. Experienced multi-lingual dive instructors and divemasters can cater to all diving levels and abilities. As a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, a variety of courses, from beginner to advanced, can be taken on board. Itineraries cover the ‘Best of Maldives’, which includes the Male Atolls, Ari Atolls, and Rasdhoo & Vaavu Atoll, and is available all year, except for February & March when the Scubaspa yacht travels to the ‘Deep South’ for more remote diving suited to more experienced divers.

Cant get any better
Epic week and best experience of our lives so far. Everything was perfect from the boat itself all the way to the crew. Delicious and lots of varieties of food everyday. EXCELLENT diving, big thanks to TOKEN our dive guide, tick every boxes. 100% planning to repeat. Boat was 10/10 but crew 12/10 and what made the experience really amazing and an ever lasting memory! Big thanks to TOKEN, EVAN, LUCY, FAIZ, ABEY, JIM, SHADAT, ANTON and all the team!! From Marta and Ignacio 🫶🏻

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.

Best live aboard experience
I had a wonderful time during my stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a live-aboard experience. For those who don’t dive, the spa services were excellent and they had a great variety.

Most Awesome Dive Trip Ever
So much to see, everything - the ocean was our looking glass and we say it all, dolphins, turtles, moray eels, fish - tiny to small to big to large - amazing, octopus, cuttlefish, sting rays, eagle rays - just floating by like a carpet ride, manta rays - so graceful, sharks - nurse, tiger, black tip, white tip, hammerhead, and of course the whale shark - WOW! WOW! WOW! A most comfortable space to sleep, rest, eat, brief, and relax - the Scubaspa Yang was awesome with the most professional staff ever, they had everything needed in mind - very personal to each guest, they always knew what we needed or wanted for the moment at hand. The extras were over the top with beach BBQs, evening entertainment, and the dining room displays - so thoughtful. Dive masters were very knowledgeable of every site we visited and always made it a point to explain why and where we dove and what we may see - its the ocean and nature - nothing is for sure. We did not know ahead of time this was Shark Week, it was absolutely amazing. We even had the opportunity to get a few PADI certificates for awareness on Sharks and Whale Sharks, and we learned about shark conservation for 2 special guests that were on board with us as divers. This was the most awesome, wonderful, exciting, entertaining, educational dive trip we have ever been on and will take the best opportunity to do it again in the future. Thank you LiveAboard for showing us this safari trip - a gift of a lifetime.

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!
