A most wonderful vacation with 17 diverse dives in pure luxury
so many things about this trip were just perfect, and I wish I could do it at least once a year and for at least 2 weeks. The natural setting combined with this exquisite boat and the excellent staff was just amazing. Fellow divers reminded me that there are lots of other beautiful dive spots to discover and great options in terms of liveaboards and resorts, but I can't imagine any will live up to the combination of awesomeness that I experienced on the ScubaSpa Yang.

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.

Amazing divig.
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.

Great crew - very personable and caring. Dive sites were very good. Condition of boat was very good, and dining and spa facilities were first class. Felt like we were on a high class yacht at a much lower cost and with very amiable casual atmosphere. Had lots of fun dancing and relaxing on a couple of nights when we weren't going diving early the next day.

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.

Treat yourself and book this trip!
In the first week of May 2026, we were able to enjoy an eight-day cruise in the Maldives. Our expectations were high, but even those high expectations have been exceeded. What a fantastic experience! All the staff is superb; sweet, attentive, helpful, hospitable and always present in a pleasant way! They are all super good at what they do! The diving was fantastic and every time there was fantastic and varied food ready! With a lump in our throats we said goodbye to the boat and the crew! A trip that we have been looking forward to for a long time, but that we can look back on with great pleasure for much longer! Really a party!

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!

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.

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!
