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.

ScubaSpa is Heaven for Divers!
I loved my Manta Stateroom & the ever changing views of the Maldives. If excellent diving with wonderful dive masters wasn’t enough—they schooled us on diving in wild currents/reef hooks, etc!!! The BBQ dinner on the sand island was over the top! And...the massages in the spa—perfect!!!

Most memorable trip.
Marine Life in the Maldives was off the charts, the boat (comfort, service, food) was par excellence and the company (friends we made on this trip) was also a highlight.

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!

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!

Amazing holidays, looking forward to repeat!!
The service was superb!, the boat is really nice, spacious, very comfortable, food is really good with lots of options from different cuisines. The diving crew were always very attentive and took care of us. Although weather was not the best, they always worked out the schedule to offer us the best diving sites and experience. For sure I will repeat with them!

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.
