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)

An excellent way to see the top dive sites in the Central Maldives,
This was a comfortable trip, with a well thought-out itinerary and made special by the attentiveness of the boat crew. The trips to land are quite important to give a break from the time at sea.

Being able to dive with Mantas and Whale Sharks and experiencing all the varied diving the Maldives have to offer. Some great challenges with currents and visibility and it all makes us better divers to be stretched. The ship was fantastic and the crew was top notch.

Dont Miss this Trip
The week was nothing short of amazing. Our dive guide Hood was great and extremely knowledgable. The Dive Director (Briony) was also amazing and she got along so well with our daughter. Bar crew and Dinner Crew cant be faulted. Would get up at 6am and my coffee would be waiting for me. In short it cant be faulted. we would certainly go again.

Best Week Ever!
Scubaspa Ying far exceeded our expectations for this trip! I absolutely must gush about our dive master, Naphsu, who was INCREDIBLE. Naphsu, Afu, Vishoo... all the dive guides were first class and they made the week unforgettable. I have nothing but the best things to say about our experience... wonderful accommodations (the Manta Suite is totally worth it), impeccable service by the entire staff, and we made lifelong connections with people from across the globe. Kudos to Scubaspa for the adventure of a lifetime!
