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.

It is value for money and we will revisit again in near future!
We are glad to encounter the wildlife underwater such as Manta Ray, Sting Ray, Marble Ray, Eagle Ray & Nurse Shark etc. We and Maldives Government should protect the beauty underwater species and habitat. This is the reason why we will revisit Maldives in future.

Amazing Liveaboard!
We had an outstanding time in our trip to Maldives. Felicity is a very comfortable boat and has a really friendly and polite crew. The food is a great surprise and each day and night we had lots of delicious options (always including at least 1 vegetarian dish). The diveguides did everything possible to offer us the best diving sites, including asking what kind of dives we would like most (big stuff, macro, wrecks, channels...). The diving boat is also comfortable and we don´t even listen to the compressor filling up the tanks (they move a little bit everytime so we don´t listen). Concerning safety, the crew showed us all the equipments and procedures. We had really a great time and felt like home!

Great diving and a very comfortable boat
The boat is amazing, rooms are spacious and clean, the boat crew is very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. However, rental gear was not properly prepared for us despite us providing details on what we needed and in what sizes; this was the case for all guests renting equipment. There was insufficient rental equipment for divers (eg, torches, SMBs) and rental equipment was not in the best shape (eg, torn and fraying wetsuits, masks with makeshift bands). Dive guide to diver ratio could be better, we had only 3 dive guides in total for 20+ people and 1 dive guide was unwell for most of the dives, meaning it is near impossible for the dive guides to keep track of their group even before the dives (there were at least 2 instances of the dhoni leaving a diver on the main boat, and they do not make sure that everyone is ready before jumping and descending). During the dives, they are also unable to cope with such a big group, so it's basically just you and your buddy looking out for each other. There were also some questionable judgement calls (eg, proceeding with a dive despite bad visibility and strong currents). I can see how some of the dives could have gone south very quickly but luckily that did not happen, and one shouldn't be depending on luck for safe diving. However, most of the diving was great, managed to see mantas and loads of sharks and stingrays.

Great diving with Felicity in the Maldives
My first liveaboard but found it to be a really great experience. Diving was great, very well looked after on the boat and good dive guides. I would only say that they should provide more dive guides for the number of guests. We had one guide to six guests and I think that ratio is a little high, especially for the more technical dives with strong currents! Overall though a great 7 days diving!

Fabulous Felicity!
What a fabulous experience! The diving was second to none. The sheer variety of what you can expect to see is mind blowing. Every dive had somnething new to offer. The opportunity to dive on Nitrox made the dive schedule very manageable and not at all tiring. The dive briefs were thorough and informarive and the dives well supervised. The dive guides really knew the area and prepped the divers well. An awesome trip. Can highly recommend.
