We had a fantastic adventure at affordable prices. The diving was truly amazing, and the vessel was well maintained with a great staff.
We had a wonderful trip and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We experienced an 8-to-1 ratio of divers to guides, which, while exciting, made it challenging at times due to the number of inexperienced divers. For an even better experience, I believe a smaller ratio or a reorganization of divers based on their experience and skills underwater could enhance future trips. The dive sites were truly fantastic, making this one of the best diving experiences I've had in my 30 years of diving. As it was my first visit to the Maldives, I was thrilled with the overall adventure. The crew was exceptional and very helpful, even catching some fresh fish for sashimi and decorating the boat for the Christmas holidays, which added a nice touch. Some added benefits included free nitrox and a spacious dive boat, both of which contributed positively to the experience. However, I did notice some areas for improvement. The management could benefit from more organized communication regarding information and airport pickups. Additionally, I found the hot tub on the boat was not operational throughout the trip, and from other reviews, it seems this has been an ongoing issue. Overall, it was a fantastic trip, and I look forward to seeing how future experiences can be even better.

Excellent choice
I have absolutely no complaints from this liveaboard. The diving was amazing, I saw sharks on every dive except for the one night dive where we focused on macro. The crew was exceptionally helpful and were great guides. The boat was well equipped to handle anything you might need. Would definitely book again!

Felicity 4-star
Most of it was superb! Internet could be stronger. It was great at 4am, but once everyone was awake, it was marginal. The food was average. It was basically the same menu every meal; little variety.

Sometimes a deal is a deal for a reason.
Overall a pleasant experience. Because the tip was included the crew and dive guides took little interest in the passengers. The dive boat was very crowded. Getting in and out of the water was chaos at times. The guides didnt track who came on dives which wasnt assuring. They were good at getting us to good dive sites amd all our dives in despite some bad weather. The food was good and the cabin was good. Most of us didnt have hot water in oir showers the 1st 2 days but the crew was quick to address. Food was good. Coffee was meh. And $5 for a coke is ridiculous. Im glad i did it but i would never book with them again. The dives were pretty good though most pretty deep. Lots of current to contend with as well.

Great views and diving. Customer experience needs some love
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip - great sites, views, boat and an international cast of characters that were charming, friendly, and wonderful to share in the experience. The rental equipment was brand new and in abundant supply. The deckhands made it turnkey simple with Nitrox checks, filled tanks, and warm towels. What was discordant, however, was that there was no obvious cruise director, no clear person in charge - of safety, of the wellbeing of the divers, and of ensuring a great customer experience. The boat owner outsourced the dive guides to contractors, one of whom ostensibly served as the cruise director (though nothing remotely close to 'direction' was given and he only indicated he was in charge, after we asked where the director was). We had transactional briefings about our dives, only. Otherwise the 'cruise director' was lying about always playing video games either on the big TV in the main room or stuck to his phone, not interacting with the guests, and generally giving off a dismissive, disengaged, uninterested feeling about the whole experience. Additional observations: - we were asked for the same information as LiveAboard requested, once we arrived - timely, duplicative paperwork that was justified as "we haven't received information about you from LiveAboard" - we were given little macro overview about the schedule - i.e. what we could look forward to, where we were going in future days - there was no safety briefing - ever - the schedule likely would've been better suited to travellers if there was an option to deboard after the morning dive on Sunday - which was wrapped up by 9am and after which we spent the whole day and the next morning on board, but were only a stone's throw away from the Male airport. We recommend there be an option to leave sooner and get on with our vacation In sum: the tour operator seemed like they cared very little about the customer experience and haven't set the expectation, invested in, or done the training for their contractors to provide this. Their paperwork was redundant with yours. And the schedule could be shortened w/o shortchanging the experience. Otherwise, the country, the dive sites, and the wildlife were fabulous.

Fantastic trip with outstanding visibility and fish life.
The views above & below water were amazing. I've never seen so many rays swimming in the water column. The crew & dive guides were so helpful with any questions or issues.

Probably the best Christmas break ever
This was an amazing experience. The diving was phenomenal, the guides were amazing, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was delicious. Like others have mentioned, it's a bit stressful when it's one guide for eight divers and all divers have different skill sets, comfort underwater and need help. This is an amazing liveaboard, but I 100% echo other diver's reviews when they say that more dive guides are needed, the current ratio can be problematic if you have panicky divers in your group. The food was absolutely delicious, but it would've been great to see more vegetarian options too. The room was extremely comfortable, one of the best sleeps I've had when travelling. The crew was extremely friendly and humourous, which added to the experience. Maldives overall is expensive, and you'll need more than 20gb data sim!

Great boat, security briefing lacking
Felicity is a great boat, although after the recent issues in the Red Sea, I found their security briefing severely lacking! Couldn’t see and life rafts, no info about fire extinguishers, „in case of emergency, just grab your (plastic wrapped) life jackets from your closets and come to the rear of the boat…“ Initially it was stated, who doesn‘t attend the dive briefings or doesn‘t pay attention doesn’t dive. There were a lot of Chinese who did exactly that and were still allowed to dive. Briefing on a (feeding) nurse shark dive was „stay put in the sand“. Chinese: let‘s swim after the sharks and put our cameras right in their faces, kicking up sand and ruining the experience for everyone else! If there are no consequences for such behaviour, it will never stop! My group and dive guide were great but it‘s always luck who you get onboard. Service by the Crew was outstanding and the biggest cabin I‘ve ever had on a liveaboard! Nobody used the jakuzzi though 😅
