Amazing Trip!
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.

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)

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!

Look no further book this one.
The boat is very luxurious just what you require after three spectacular dives a day. The food is plentiful, varied and delicious. The accommodation is very comfortable and spotless. The diving guides are very calm, knowledgeable and helpful. The dive sites are varied with lots of sea life great for spotting sharks.The added bonus is the spa and yoga. The attention to detail from staff and facilities on this liverboard is remarkable. Thanks Scubaspa for a wonderful experience!

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.
