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.

Anxious about my diving abilities at the start, I transformed into a confident diver who did not want the trip to end
Extremely satisfying overall experience & the fact that I could do all 17 dives inspire of a long gap of ten years was itself a highlight other than the wide variety of marine life that we could see
