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.

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!

The best of diving and luxury cruise worlds all in one
Diving route allowing to see manta rays, pelagic and sharks for my husband, and for me, a poor swimmer, the possibility to snorkel on top of a whale shark thanks to Mario, the best dive instructor to my eyes after this unexpected experience.

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.
