Tiger sharks in the deep south
We had an amazing trip down south. The crew was amazing and so friendly. The highlight was Fuvamula, a spot famous in the world for close encounters with tiger sharks. And it held up to all expectations.

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!

Amazing trip!
Seeing Manta Rays up and close for the whole dive. Enjoying the amazing company of the divers and the crew! Having a great relaxing experience in the onboard spa (what a great idea to go for a massage after 3 dives in a day - bliss!!). Awesome trip, we will definitely look for a chance to come back again!

The Best Liveaboard Experience: Five Stars is an Understatement
From the moment we stepped aboard until our reluctant departure, our liveaboard trip was, quite simply, the best dive vacation we have ever taken. This is more than a dive boat; it’s a floating haven where luxury, world-class diving, and impeccable service converge. If you are looking for the ultimate adventure delivered with genuine warmth and attention to detail, book this trip immediately. World-Class Encounters Under the Waves: The diving was nothing short of extraordinary. The crew consistently put us on world-class sites, delivering the kind of marine life encounters that most divers only dream of. Every single dive felt like a page out of a documentary. We were spoiled with multiple, up-close encounters with majestic manta rays, breathtaking sightings of a whale shark, and exhilarating dives surrounded by various species of sharks and dozens of graceful eagle rays. Combined with the stunning health of the reefs—vibrant, beautiful, and teeming with life—it was a truly unforgettable underwater spectacle. Service, Comfort, and Those Perfect Details: The professionalism and friendliness of the crew were outstanding. They managed to be highly professional and safety-conscious while making us feel like family. Beyond the diving, the ship itself felt like a boutique hotel. Our cabins were spacious and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a long day of diving. But it was the little details that elevated the experience into pure luxury. From the beautifully set dining tables at every meal to the charming whaleshark drawn in the foam of our morning cappuccino, the crew's dedication to guest happiness shone through in every interaction. A Culinary Revelation for Vegans: As vegans, dining on a liveaboard can often be challenging, but the kitchen staff here delivered an absolutely fabulous culinary experience. They made the biggest effort to ensure we had varied, delicious, and exciting food for every single meal. We didn't just get a side salad; we were treated to creative, flavorful dishes that rivaled top-tier restaurants. Their dedication went far beyond expectation, making the food a true highlight of the entire trip. Final Verdict: This liveaboard sets the gold standard for dive travel. Incredible diving, spotless accommodations, and a crew that executes every detail with passion and grace. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!
