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.

Every diver's dream, the Scuba Spa
The best part was the cleanliness of the scubus wave. Briefing time before all the dives, delicious food, friendly crew, safe dive instructors, and all the crew are there to help us if we have any problems or questions. The perfect sea, the perfect ship, and the perfect people make the Scubus Spa a program worthy of the world's No. 1 liveaboard reputation.

Excellent
It was a very pleasant and pleasant trip, the diving was not what I expected probably because of the amount of divers there are today, The species of the boat was very good since it traveled with my wife who does not dive and she was very happy

Highly Recommend - We'll be Back!
Fantastic experience. Crew was unbelievable, diving was fantastic. Went with my fiance on her first liveaboard and she is sold. I would do this route again, with Scubaspa, in a heart beat. We will be back on Scubaspa next year on another route!

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!!!
