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.

Maldives still is a unforgettable experience
It was only 4 days, but very intense, with good dives and a very professional team. In 2016 I did a liveaboard in the Maldives on ScubaSpa yang and in 2019 I did a Liveaboard in the Galapagos and that why it is always difficult to compare. The very young Afu was our guide and certainly has a future in this job. For the first time I went diving with a group of Portuguese friends who in the end became fans of this type of vacation. The last word for Christian, our cruise manager, for his professionalism and friendliness!

Wow what a way to do a live a board!!
I love the combination of catering for divers and non-divers. The spa and snorkelling and shore execursions are fantastic. the staff is actually the highlight of the trip. Nothing is ever to much for them. The service is always with a smile and very quickly they learn how you like your drinks, what your preferneces are and they cater to these effortlessly. they go out of their way to make you feel special and welcome. The diving crew is fantastic from the dive guides to the support staff on the Dhoni everything is effortless.The movie night under the stars and the beach BBQ was really memorable. This is a must take trip.

Whale Shark, Huge Mantas - everywhere you looked there was something new to see.

An incredible few days!
The people (dive instructors, guests and staff) were all amazing and accommodating to both dive level and dietary requirements. The boat was fantastic; great food, very comfortable and lots of different places to hang out. Last but not least the diving was absolutely sensational.. mantas, whale sharks, turtles, big schools of fish, healthy reefs and critters aplenty! Would definitely choose Scubaspa again - it was like clockwork

A Small Luxury Cruise with Good Scuba
ScubaSpa Ying is a great boat to be on. We were in the Dolphin suite; it was large (for a boat) and quite comfortable. I'd give the bed a B+ or A- for comfort (which is better than some resorts I've been to in the Maldives; I doubt you'll find better a better bed on a boat). The food was fantastic; there was a good variety (usually some sea food and some chicken or beef). There was Italian night, Mexican night, and Asian night. I feel this is the best food you're going to find on any boat. The diving was great! They have fantastic dive briefings with slides and topographical maps of the sea floor. There is abundant wildlife in the Maldives. The dive boat is quite comfortable. The guides are very helpful. The dives typically only lasted about 45 minutes each, though. My air consumption isn't the best, but it's not bad. I feel that we were a bit deeper than needed for some of the dives. Our experience here was basically dive, eat, nap, and repeat for 3 times each day. There is limited entertainment on the boat itself, though; your time on the boat will be eating, napping, or socializing with the other guests (and fellow scuba divers are usually pretty good company). They'll take you out for a beach day once or twice. They may get out the stand-up paddle boards or inner tube sometimes. You can expect something like 17 dives while on the boat including one night dive.

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!

A 5 star luxury resort, disguised as a liveaboard!
Upgrading to the Manta Room. For a few hundred dollars extra, we got a huuuuge room, with two sofa chairs, a fridge and a large window with a spectacular view of the ocean. The night dive at Alimatha Reef in Vaavu Atoll. Don't miss it! It's going to be the best dive of your life. I don't want to spoil it for you by telling you what you're going to see. But in forty years of diving I can tell you I'd never seen anything like it.

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.
