Amazing experience
Already the 3rd time we are onboarding on the ScubaSpa and it is always a delight to make this cruise with this wonderful team. Simon, a hyper professional supervisor always ready to bring you the little extra that will make your cruise unforgettable. Mox and Vishuu, 2 super Divemaster who have a great knowledge of The Ari Atoll islands Who can predict you to come across Mantas, nurse sharks or even a small whale shark during your dives? In addition to their commitment during the dives, our 2 divemasters remain available for their VIP guests during the debriefing evenings. Special mention for the cuisine that reveals all the flavours of Asia and the world on the occasion of theme dinners The COVID period is not easy to manage for the tour operators. But on the scubaspa Yang with this great team, the sanitary constraints, the stress of the virus are far away from your daily concerns. Once again we highly recommend this cruise that we will do a 4th time on the southern atolls this next time We put the mark of 9.5/10 just to give us a new for chance to come back and put a 10

ScubaSpa - Maldives - Amazing trip
ScubaSpa is the best experience of luxury, comfort, service and kindness you can expect from a Diving cruise. Everything was absolutely perfect: crew is wonderful, divings are amazing, food and service are as good as in a 5 stars resort. We will come back for sure. Eric

Trip of a lifetime!
We loved the diving! Just being in the Maldives was a dream come true but then to be on Scuba Spa Ying and all that the crew did to make our time special, fun and unique was truly amazing. We loved the BBQ on the beach evening and of course the diving.

Best trip of our lives - can't wait to go back!
This was by far the best trip me and my husband have taken. I'll try to be through in the review as I think they can be really helpful as you're making a decision. Overall, this is the way to go if you want to see more of the Maldives and don't care for sitting still at a resort. We stopped in three different islands for different reasons (beach time, BBQ, sightseeing) and just the travel through the atoll and islands you can see along the route is something very special. We cannot wait to go back!!! BOAT & CREW The boat is extremely comfortable and for us, both divers, the spa is a nice add (and a great option for non-divers who just want a relaxing vacation). The rooms were spacious, clean, and the staff was EXTREMELY nice and attentive, make you feel special. The food was OK with a nice variety and lots of fresh fruits (which I love). The BBQ night was incredible and super fun. DIVING The whole dive operation is best-in-class. From the dhoni to the crew, we could not have asked for better service. They looked for the best dives spots (which can vary based on weather and diving conditions) and are very organized with the dives, but in a very relaxed way, which is really nice. Both my husband and I took the opportunity to get our Advanced Open Water certification onboard and our dive master, Rita, was wonderful. They offer 17 dives in 7 days!! You can't ask for more adventure and fun than that. We saw mantas and sting rays, lots of sharks, whale shark, turtles, and all sorts of beautiful fish. The night dive is a MUST DO... It's incredible. A FEW THINGS TO NOTE: --You should make sure you book your departing flight late on the last day of the trip so you can take advantage of all dives the day before - my husband and I didn't know we were diving on Friday, so we had to skip two dives (to make sure we had 24h of surface time before flying). It's better to maybe stay overnight in Hulhumale or Male, unless you are OK with possibly missing some dives on the last day. -- Another thing we did not know before going is that if you want to pay the balance of the trip with a credit card, there's a 2% fee. Not a huge deal but slightly annoying that we were not informed of that before. -- Make sure you bring cash for the water sports (optional activity) as they do not take credit card. I highly recommend the parasailing in Maafushi - super fun!
