Amazing experience
The trip aboard the Spirit was really a great experience. The boat itself is very well equipped and maintained. The crew is courteous, warm and competent. David and Lisa really do an excellent job. But the dive guides are also worth mentioning. Incredibly good-humoured, competent and concerned about safety, without imposing any unnecessary restrictions on the guests. And of course, the underwater world of the Maldives is magnificent, we saw so much. Thank you for the great time!Lena

Excellent trip that I would repeat in a heartbeat
Great boat, crew, and diving. The diving exceeded my expectations and I would recommend the North itinerary because we never had to share a dive site with other boats even though the Maldives is dripping with dive boats.

Great experience with Spirit of Maldives
Boat is very large, and the separate dive boat (dhoni) system works very well and allows for the back of the boat not to be cluttered. Cabins are large, individual AC system, beds are comfortable. Mostly, the crew onboard is really lovely and professional, and take very good care of you. Safety is good, dive briefings were provided very well by Lukas and the team was available to answer any question. Dive sites are chosen well and adapted depending on conditions, and the daily schedule works well with appropriate time between dives for rest. Happy hour in the evening is nice too ! Overall would recommend this boat, I would be happy to return with Spirit. Many thanks to all the Crew and the Dive Guides Lukas, Ana, Sul, Joe and Kike, you really made our experience great :)

All in all, a great experience with many highlights and diving fun!
It was a motley crew of divers of different ages, with different levels of experience and different expectations. The two cruise directors Lisa and Dave, together with the dive guides, put together very suitable groups, so that everyone could experience their highlights. In addition to very intensive encounters with reef manta rays and rays, the different underwater worlds with their flora and fauna have always resulted in interesting encounters with sharks, large, small and very small fish, etc. All in all, all around successful dives of sometimes considerable length. The varied food was very tasty and offered a lot of choice. The rooms were spacious and very well furnished and maintained. The large windows allowed a great view from the bed to the sea! With this boat and this crew and similar groups always a wonderful experience and highly recommended!
