Outstanding Experience
Whale Shark, Huge Mantas - everywhere you looked there was something new to see. The crew were a joy - they could not have tried any harder to satisfy every guest and they absolutely went above and beyond. The cabins were spacious, the food varied and well prepared, the service generally could not be faulted - we will be back!

Our week on ScubaSpa Ying was perfect. The food was exceptional (especially the soups!), the whole crew provided an outstanding service. The massages were a great way to unwind from a day of diving. The dive guides were highly experienced, very knowledgeable and always made us feel like we were in safe hands. We will certainly be coming back!

An exceptional liveaborad on a super super yacht
The staff on ScubaSpa are extremely efficient and courteous, they attend to every need even before you know you have a need!. It is a 5 star luxury resort on the sea. The diver team are extremely knowledgeable and safety focused. They help with everything you may need whether it is handing your camera over after you jump in, or helping you with your BCD if you have to remove it before re-entering the Doni. They never complain and always smile. The rooms are HUGE and very comfortable and the bathrooms are also very generous for a liveaboard. This is my 4th trip on ScubaSpa and I would return again. In fact I have booked to go back.

Amazing crew amazing dives
Crews are amazing! They are there to help whenever you need them, extraordinarily friendly. Dive guides are very experienced and good at handling newbie divers. The dives are so amazing that we don’t want to miss even one minute. Our friends had to leave because of medical issue only 2 days after which was sad but we were very grateful for their way of handling and the care they shown. They can’t wait to get back! Big thank you to all the backstage crews for making up this perfect Liveaboard trip for us!

Beautiful boat and wonderful crew!
The beautiful boat and awesome crew was definitely the best part of the trip. Diving almost seem secondary! But the dive team was excellent too, and I love how detailed each briefing before a dive was. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable about what to look out for. I felt well taken care of by the dive team. Food was excellent (the steak dinner was so good) and the restaurant crew are always so friendly. Spa section was gorgeous, although I wish I could afford more of the massages! Do note that the passenger are of a more mature crowd (which is excellent when coming to giving me tips on diving!) and the scene is a lot more chill. As there can be up to half the boat passengers being on a non-diving package (usually the spouse of a diver), the dive scene may be less intense than the average liveaboard one would expect. A great Maldivian experience!
