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.

Lifechanging trip overcoming fear of sharks & best diving in the world!
This was hands down the best liveaboard in the Maldives. The staff were all incredible, they made the experience so memorable. I had a phobia of sharks and have been diving to overcome this (successfully) since 2022, however, this was going to be my first time diving with sharks. Bryony was my dive instructor and she was the best I've ever had. Professional, patient, understanding, inspiring and fun. HAving Shark Guardian on-board meant we got to take part in shark conservation and learn about sharks, their behaviours and how to dive with them. Both Brendon at Shark Guardian and Bryony changed my life and this was one of the best weeks of my life. I am able to now dive with sharks and enjoy it! The food was delicious, and the staff provide such a personal experience on board and offer a more premium trip to other boats. This includes group dinner under the stars, beach dinner and private island experience and from the moment you step on you feel at home and there is world class diving, the best instructors and every single detail is taken care of. This was an unforgettable trip and we 10000% recommend.

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.

Best liveaboard experience in 20 years
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.

Diving in a lap of luxury!
Loved it!! The diving was amazing and crew were so helpful. The Dhoni made it really easy to set out gear and get ready. The food was fabulous. I loved the massage that I could sneak it. Incredible sunsets. My husband, who doesnt dive, joined me to snorkel. He enjoyed being taken to isolated islands for nice lovely snorkels everyday. It was the ultimate in luxury and fun diving!!!
