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.

Excellent Dive Trip
This trip was one of the best we have ever done; we have been diving with 2 teens for the last 6 years, twice a year. The crew is excellent in every way including taking care of our teens. The Yang is a superb boat, like a mini cruise ship, with all the comfort and a dive tender that is very spacious for max 20 divers. We definitely recommend this trip and will likely return ourselves. Thanks!

Best dive holiday ever
The wildlife was the ultimate highlight of this trip. There was so much life on these reefs! There were dives for different skill levels, and I was definitely happy that I took the nitrox course so that I got that longer bottom time to hang with the sharks at their cleaning stations. The staff were all wonderful: the dive guides were experienced and helpful, the chefs and servers were skilled in their crafts, the bartender was friendly and available, the behind-the-scenes guys were just that—returning to a perfectly refreshed room daily. I enjoyed the spa treatment I received as well. Totally fantastic experience! I can't wait to go back! Thanks a heap to the scubaspa team!!

An unforgettable week
We spent our honeymoon on ScubaSpa Yang, and it was honestly perfect. The diving team, led by Victoria, was incredible - full of knowledge, care, and fun. Our guide Shaad was especially amazing: calm, supportive, and made every one of our 17 dives feel exciting and safe. Big thanks also to Mizze and Sharif for their ocean wisdom and great energy. And the Dhoni crew - Capi Suhail, Kawsar, and Hassan - navigated with ease to every dive site and kept everything with our gear smooth and easy. Onboard, Branden and his team made everything feel seamless and personal. Sajiv and Abey made the best drinks (plus the daily homemade ice cream!), Chef Abdullah wowed us with delicious global dishes, and Jim and Madu made every meal feel special. Hussain and Nazmul kept our room spotless and cozy the whole week. We loved starting the day with yoga with Lins, relaxing with massages from Ella, and heading off on fun island visits and water sports with Ahmed and Jamil. Everything was beautifully organized but never felt rushed. Thank you, ScubaSpa family, for the most unforgettable week! we definitely come back❤️

the best dive guides
All 17 dives were amazing and unique. The guides planned each dive thoughtfully, based on weather, current, water clarity, guests abilities and interests, etc. We saw mantas, sting rays, eagle rays, sharks, colorful fishes and corals, turtles, eels, dolphins, and even a tiny octopus.
