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.

Superior experience with great people
My personal highlight was actually the crew. Everyone always had a smile on their faces and everyone did an outstanding job. The chef Chanaka was just amazing. For this reason alone, the trip on the Virgo is worth it. The guides were also great and always professionally ensured that the group was safe on the one hand and a lot of fun on the other.

Great off-peak season diving
Great diving and a well run ship. crew was highly attentive. Even though it was off season and had a small passenger load, the crew maintained a high level of focus and service. Food was consistently good and the rooms were well maintained (and quite spacious on the top deck).
