The best trip ever!
This was truly the trip of a lifetime. The boat was stunning and the accommodations were very comfortable. We adored the hospitality by everyone, especially Jim and Mahedi. I loved every second of diving and the dive guides made me feel safe and well looked after. The dance party, the dinner under the stars, the sandbar coctails and the sandbar dinner really stood out. I would have stayed on the boat another week if I had known how wonderful it would be. We are already planning our next ScubaSpa adventure.

Fabulous liveaboard & location - 5 stars all around!
This was our first liveaboard experience, and I'm afraid I've been spoiled! The Ying is beautiful - very luxe, wonderful rooms, plenty of public space - and the spa is to die for! You feel like you're in a fabulous spa at home (but then realize it's actually on a ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean!). The treatments were all terrific and the masseuses really have a lot of experience. Between my husband & myself, we indulged in a 5 massages, 1 facial, and one anniversary package (massage & scrub & wrap) - this last one was on the house due to our celebration, and it was such a nice touch! This was a highlight of the boat that definitely sets it apart from other liveaboard vessels. The diving in the Maldives (our reason for going) was top-notch, and our crew was experienced and very capable. We saw everything we could have hoped to see - mantas, so many turtles, multiple whale sharks, schools of fish like I've never seen before (and we've dived a good number of prime diving sites in the world), etc. etc. Matt & his entire liveaboard crew went out of their way to make all of our vacations memorable, and we enjoyed it all - the sandbar & island stops, BBQ night on the deserted island, etc etc. All fantastic! We happened to go in the low season (late May), but our sea conditions were fine (I think visibility was lower than normal, though it was still decently good for us - about 20-30m)...and allowed us to have some significant discount in the pricing (25% lower than peak season). A few important details: Wifi is free and included (not so in many liveaboards), staterooms were plush (we were in a manta suite with a huge window), food is abundant and great (loved the pre-morning dive coffee service & treats). Can't wait to go back again!

Exceeded expectations!
-the night shark dive -most of the dives were some of the best I've ever done (I hit my 100th dive on this trip!) -the beach BBQ and sundeck dinner were really spectacular -just relaxing on the sundeck and taking it all in -the food... And the variety at every meal -meeting cool people from around the world -the first Manta cleaning station (got really lucky, didn't get so lucky at the others, but that's diving)
- Recommended for
- The boat (it's beautifully designed and spacious), the staff (every single person was warm, friendly and attentive) and everything about the diving (from the dive spots, to the Dhoni, to all the dive staff)

An Excellent Experience with Awesome Food and Company
I had an excellent time on board the Scubaspa Ying and would definitely do it again. First and foremost, the diving was incredible and the dive team did an excellent job picking the dive sites. We saw almost everything you could want to see in the Maldives: giant schools of fish, half a dozen manta rays, whale sharks, nurse sharks, dolphins, stingrays, eels, octopus, giant clams, and so much more. The dive briefings were superb; the dive team clearly had an excellent handle on the dive sites, conditions, and entry/exit plans. They also took particular care in getting us to the dive sites before other liveaboards in the region crowded things up or scared away all the interesting marine life. Second, the food on board was amazing. You will never go hungry on this boat. Sometimes you forget that you're actually dining at sea. Every night the food was a different cuisine and there's always something for everyone. Third, the crew members on board the Ying were fantastic and really made the experience memorable. All the crew members were very friendly and thoughtful, and truly did their best to cater to your every need. All together, these made this trip an outstanding experience that I definitely will not forget and would highly recommend to anyone considering a liveaboard in the Maldives.
