Beautiful dive trip in the North Atolls onboard ScubaSpa Ying
Our second trip with Scubaspa heading towards the North Atolls. Fantastic service under Thomas leadership and our Manta Suite was a very comfortable cabin. We were blessed with great weather for August and V and the diving team made the trip very special. We will be back soon!

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!!!

Dont Miss this Trip
The week was nothing short of amazing. Our dive guide Hood was great and extremely knowledgable. The Dive Director (Briony) was also amazing and she got along so well with our daughter. Bar crew and Dinner Crew cant be faulted. Would get up at 6am and my coffee would be waiting for me. In short it cant be faulted. we would certainly go again.

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!

Perfect Balance
ScubaSpa Ying provides a truly world class experience. The staff and management were always anticipating anything you may want or need, remembering each guests preferences and requests. The boat itself is quite impressive providing plenty of areas to lounge and relax. Having a spa onboard made this trip luxurious, and offered many types of massage and couples treatments. The island BBQ was one of our favorite memories as the staff went above and beyond to make it a great evening. Our only constructive recommendation would be the 'all inclusive' price should include basic drinks all day (coffee, tea & soda), which would also be included with drinks instead of paying for both the alcohol and soda.
