Treat yourself and book this trip!
In the first week of May 2026, we were able to enjoy an eight-day cruise in the Maldives. Our expectations were high, but even those high expectations have been exceeded. What a fantastic experience! All the staff is superb; sweet, attentive, helpful, hospitable and always present in a pleasant way! They are all super good at what they do! The diving was fantastic and every time there was fantastic and varied food ready! With a lump in our throats we said goodbye to the boat and the crew! A trip that we have been looking forward to for a long time, but that we can look back on with great pleasure for much longer! Really a party!

Unforgettable trip on Scubaspa Yang
An exceptional experience aboard the Scubaspa Yang. Without question, this is the finest liveaboard cruise I have experienced to date. The level of service is outstanding: warm welcome, genuine personalized attention, highly adaptable and professional dive team, beautiful underwater sites, excellent cuisine, and a consistently kind and attentive crew. A special mention for the Manta Suites, which are simply sublime—extraordinarily spacious and refined for a liveaboard. I could only wish for my bedroom in Paris to feel exactly like my cabin on the Scubaspa Yang. Everything came together perfectly. A truly memorable experience.

Best liveabord you will ever do
Scuba Spa is so incredible that it may be hard to do any other liveaboard. The boat is insane. It’s a luxury yacht and it’s amazing. Every detail thought out. The crew is the best. They are so kind and helpful and remember details on your likes and dislikes. They go above and beyond all the time. The food is the best you will ever have on a liveaboard. The dive team is top notch. All of them. We had Luci and she is our favorite dive master ever. The diving was awesome. The spa is amazing.

Floating 5-star hotel
The boat was like a true 5-star hotel on water. Excellent food of high quality with great selection and variety. Special events like BBQ on the beach and sunset cocktail on a deserted island was great add-ons to an already packed and exciting program. The dive crew was great and delivered spectacular dives. I would recommend to go in Dec-Mar, where you have higher visibility in the water and better weather.

the best dive guides
All 17 dives were amazing and unique. The guides planned each dive thoughtfully, based on weather, current, water clarity, guests abilities and interests, etc. We saw mantas, sting rays, eagle rays, sharks, colorful fishes and corals, turtles, eels, dolphins, and even a tiny octopus.

Exceeded all Expectations
Let’s start with… I booked this liveaboard as a solo traveler and I left the week with a new scuba family. Any and all expectations were exceeded on this trip. The staff, were always there to help you, serve you and anything you may need. The food is out of this world so good. The room is comfortable, has AC and is cleaned everyday. If you are looking to do a liveaboard, do not waste your time looking for a boat that isn’t this. This was a lifetime experience that I hope to do again as soon as possible. It was truly a dream come true!

Best Liveaboard Experience EVER!
It was just the perfect trip from beginning to the end. We were met at the airport by a crew member, and was brought to the motherboat by the dive dhoni. Upon arrival on the main boat, the registration process was simple and clear. We were brought to the cabin by the cruise manager, and given a short introduction of the cabin. In the evening of the arrival day, we were all given a full briefing and met the whole crew of the ScubaSpa Yang. There was 18 divers on our trip, but the boat never felt crowded throughout the whole trip. The sea star cabin was modern, clean and very comfortable. It was the entry level cabin, but spacious enough for 2 people. Housekeeping would usually clean the cabin when we are out for the first dive daily. Coming back to a nice clean cabin after the dive was such a nice feeling. Boat's facilities included many sun decks, jacuzzi, gym, spa, bar, restaurant, etc. The dive dhoni was the most perfectly designed dive boat i've ever been on. Nitrox was complimentary for nitrox divers. There was ample space to keep our equipment in a box given to each diver. Hangers were provided to hang our wetsuits between dives. our gear was rinsed every night with fresh water. The Dhoni crew was very helpful, always helping in every way possible. Dive guide was very experienced, and knew the currents and dive sites inside out. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. I would definitely recommend, and would definitely return in the near future.

Experiência fantásticas nas Maldivas
Tivemos dias incríveis com o Scubaspa ying. Toda a tripulação é fantástica, cordial e atenciosa. Os instrutores de mergulho são muito bem preparados, inclusive para dar todo o suporte para os iniciantes. A programação é perfeita, com mergulhos e atrações na medida certa. Muito melhor do que se hospedar em qualquer resort da região.

Unexpected luxury on board! We didn't expect a liveaboard to be a floating resort. Each section of the day is accompanied by a dedicated service team, which acts with passion and extraordinary professionalism. The meals were much better than we expected - it is still a mystery to us how you can cook so creatively and internationally on board. The service team has read your every wish from the Aucen, the bar is open around the clock. On board the smaller dive boat is a team of helpers who keep an eye on safety and service at the same time. Our dive guide "Buddy" was the best guide we have had so far. ( and we already had around 150Dives)In addition to thegreat service and the modern and luxurious boat was the Itiniary. In addition to dives and spa, evening BBQs or cocktail bar nights on sandbanks are also part of the program. Last but not least, all ( 18 ) guests on board immediately formed a great group - people from all over the world and of all ages. We will be back!!!

Great for divers and non-divers
The boat only had 16 divers on board so the diver to guide ratio was fantastic. I was traveling with someone who didn’t dive so she got the spa package and there wasn’t a bad massage on the menu. I ended up with three massages anyway. This boat is great for a few dives a day and a gentle itinerary and/or if you’re traveling with a non-diver. If you want many dives and and better caliber of divers this is not the boat for you.
