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.

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.

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.

Wonderful experience
This is our first liveaboard trip and it turned out much nicer than expected. For scuba divers, liveaboard is the best choice because the vessel moves to new dive spots while you're enjoying breakfast or resting (they don't move at night so you can have a good sleep). The dhoni (Maldivian boat for divers) is well equipped and spacious. Daily schedule with 3 dives is very relaxing and a good mix for diver and non diver. However, most of the activities will happen at the same time, meaning if you dive, you can't attend yoga or snorkel. The staff is very attentive and willing to assist you to their best ability. I would definitely recommend this boat!

Best Liveaboard Experience EVER!
It was just the perfect trip from beginning to the end. We were met at the airport by a crew member, and was brought to the motherboat by the dive dhoni. Upon arrival on the main boat, the registration process was simple and clear. We were brought to the cabin by the cruise manager, and given a short introduction of the cabin. In the evening of the arrival day, we were all given a full briefing and met the whole crew of the ScubaSpa Yang. There was 18 divers on our trip, but the boat never felt crowded throughout the whole trip. The sea star cabin was modern, clean and very comfortable. It was the entry level cabin, but spacious enough for 2 people. Housekeeping would usually clean the cabin when we are out for the first dive daily. Coming back to a nice clean cabin after the dive was such a nice feeling. Boat's facilities included many sun decks, jacuzzi, gym, spa, bar, restaurant, etc. The dive dhoni was the most perfectly designed dive boat i've ever been on. Nitrox was complimentary for nitrox divers. There was ample space to keep our equipment in a box given to each diver. Hangers were provided to hang our wetsuits between dives. our gear was rinsed every night with fresh water. The Dhoni crew was very helpful, always helping in every way possible. Dive guide was very experienced, and knew the currents and dive sites inside out. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. I would definitely recommend, and would definitely return in the near future.

First Liveaboard experience will be hard to beat
Thank you to the ScubaSpa Yang for an amazing Christmas trip. This was our first liveaboard experience after 2 decades of diving. We have been reluctant to try a liveaboard because we love luxurious accommodations. The ScubaSpa does not fall short...she is a beautifully appointed boat that serves luxury resort food. The staff and crew will accommodate your every need and you will get that 5 star resort feel as you move from dive site to dive site.

Best liveaboard experience!!
Do not think twice about choosing ScubaSpa as your provider for a live aboard trip in the Maldives. The boats are huge, new and beautifully crafted. Enough space for everyone to find their own place to relax in-between dives but also to hang out and mingle if that's what you're feeling. The food was always plentiful and delicious with a different theme each day. The diving was first class, made even more enjoyable by the happy, friendly and fun dive guides. Cannot speak highly enough of our experience only to say that we will be going back to do another trip and that certainly says something as we are usually a 'don't do it twice' type people.

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.

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!

Living and Diving in the Lap of Luxury
As a tour company owner in the Canadian Rockies I know what it takes to run a smooth operation over the course of a trip. Scubaspa Yang was by far one of the best tour operations I have ever experienced. So much so I will be taking some of there ideas and ways to make guests feel like they are living in the lap of luxury the ENTIRE trip. Everything from the logistics, schedule, staff, food, safety of the guests, accommodations, cleanliness, spa treatments, yoga, layout of the boat, the dive boat, and beach adventures was above and beyond. Scubaspa Yang has set the new standard on how dive boats should all run. Could not have asked for a better exeprience! So much so that we were only booked for a 5 day trip but ended up cancelling our fancy villa stay to stay another few days on the boat instead. Liveaboard.com made it easy to book and extend the trip and also cannot thank them enough! Lastly, our cruise director (Branden) helped me arrange my underwater proposal to my now fiance and helped with a slew of logistics to do so. His customer service and expertise in everything shows why having a leader like him is essential to a smooth operation. Big big thanks to all the staff on Scubaspa Yang and liveaboard.com!
