Awesome week in Maldives
Great daily itinerary that was flexible and based on site conditions which allowed us to truly see the best of Maldives - from mantas to stingrays and lots of colourful marine life. The liveaboard itself was extremely cosy and comfortable with delicious meals whipped up for us 3 times a day. The dive crew and guides were great, informative and really friendly. We had a ton of fun with the other guests on board and it really felt like home for a week.

Exceptional week in the Maldives!
Our week on the Emperor Virgo was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the crew, dive masters, and overall experience exceeded every expectation. We completed 17 incredible dives—each one unique—and the team made us feel safe, supported, and inspired the entire time. Their knowledge of the sites, briefings, and calm confidence added so much to the trip. The diving itself was spectacular. We learned how to use reef hooks, drifted along walls as sharks cruised by, and watched manta rays sweep through the dark on a night dive. We saw sharks, mantas, eagle rays, turtles, eels, octopuses, nudibranchs, sea cucumbers, gorgeous coral, and more fish than I could ever list. Every dive felt alive. Life on the boat was just as memorable. The food was fabulous—fresh, plentiful, and far better than I expected on a liveaboard. The rhythm quickly became eat • sleep • dive • repeat, and honestly, I loved it. Our fellow divers included couples from Germany, Belgium, France, and Switzerland, and the shared experience made the trip even richer. Great conversations, lots of laughter, and new friends by the end of the week. The Emperor Virgo team delivered an outstanding experience on every level. If you’re thinking about a Maldives liveaboard—go. This week was one of my all-time favorite dive trips.

Amazing diving, amazing boat & crew
Everything was top notch. I love the Maldives. We saw 6 species of sharks in one week and countless Mantas. Whale shark and hammerheads were to of my favorite along with the night dives with Mantas and Nurse Sharks. The diving guides are outstanding, thank you Andrea Reeko and Megan. Crew is great and the boat as well with great food the whole week.
