We loved the whole trip beginning to end. I spent a lot of time researching the vessel. Can understand why there are repeat customers and am going to be one of them! Diving was great. Staff wonderful. Food varied and delicious. Boat fabulous. Morning yoga. Lovely rhythm to the whole trip. Thanks to all of the crew!

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.

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!

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.
