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.

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!

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 🫶🏻

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.

Unforgettable trip on Scubaspa Yang
An exceptional experience aboard the Scubaspa Yang. Without question, this is the finest liveaboard cruise I have experienced to date. The level of service is outstanding: warm welcome, genuine personalized attention, highly adaptable and professional dive team, beautiful underwater sites, excellent cuisine, and a consistently kind and attentive crew. A special mention for the Manta Suites, which are simply sublime—extraordinarily spacious and refined for a liveaboard. I could only wish for my bedroom in Paris to feel exactly like my cabin on the Scubaspa Yang. Everything came together perfectly. A truly memorable experience.

Great Experience!
Diving/Snorkeling - it was great that we (a diver and a non-diver) could both do what we wanted, see so much of the Maldives and still spend time together! The spa was fantastic! The staff and food on Scubaspa Yang were spectacular. We would definitely travel with Scubaspa again!

EPIC!! Best holiday of my life!!
Had the best time ever! The crew is so friendly and professional, they were there for you whenever you needed them and for whatever you can think of. They know a lot about the local divesites and environment and this made the dives even more fun! The dives itself were breathtakingly gorgeous! So much diversity :) and everything on the boat is well taken care of! Would definately reccomend this trip, its the adventure of a lifetime! I can not wait to return anytime soon :)

Simply Awesome
The diving was outstanding; close up encounters (I mean really close!) with mantas & sharks were truly incredible. Safety a key aspect and great dive planning with surface intervals well planned; dive guides very personal in their efforts. The meal plans and activities were simply wonderful; a BBQ on the beach and sundowner cocktails on a tiny island a stand out. Food was of the highest quality. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, friendly & accommodating. The cabins are comfortable and well appointed, couldn't have asked for a better trip to break the Covid captivity cycle !
