Amazing crew amazing dives
Crews are amazing! They are there to help whenever you need them, extraordinarily friendly. Dive guides are very experienced and good at handling newbie divers. The dives are so amazing that we don’t want to miss even one minute. Our friends had to leave because of medical issue only 2 days after which was sad but we were very grateful for their way of handling and the care they shown. They can’t wait to get back! Big thank you to all the backstage crews for making up this perfect Liveaboard trip for us!

Inspirational, educational and so comfortable that we barely had to lift a finger for a week.
Scuba package: Best dive in all 15 years with mantas chain feeding, somersault feeding and cyclone feeding in front of us for 20+ mins. Add a whaleshark on a dive, all the macro life, and fantastic crew and dive guides who bring all the good vibes - this week was truly special. Spa package: I chose not to dive but had a great time snorkelling and saw all the big stuff! I found it a truly relaxing experience whilst also pushing my boundaries on holiday. Thanks so much to the whole team!

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.

The crew were amazing !
The crew of Scuba Ying were amazing! Yes, it’s a nice and expensive boat but the care, diligence and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. And it was even the small things like remembering every guests’ drink preference, folding napkins in the shape of manta (was a 1st one for me :)) or preparing elaborate bbq on the beach that was fit for the queen. I really liked the experience and the atmosphere they created !

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.

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.

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.

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.
