Overall a great experience
We had an absolutely spectacular manta night dive and many incredible day-dives! The food was great though some things were a little Spicey and it was clear the staff all take pride in their work and are always doing their best to go above and beyond for guests. Guides Yuri, Ayya, and Todo were spectacular and even helped and pointed things out to members of other groups underwater. Very good trip!

Nice diving in Central Maldives
The diving was pretty nice considering it was the low season. Luckily we had great weather. Saw some tiger sharks and some mantas so it was really fun. The dive guides were super super safe.

Wonderful diving safari in the Maldives with fun guides
Was reunited with my delayed luggage (grateful to have been able to receive it 3 days into the trip) due to a guide who was able to keep in touch with the airport as we were sailing away, Mantas!!!, catered to my vegan diet, friendly guides and staff.

Negative experience, cockroaches in cabin bed, skipped highlights of itinerary
The operator of the liveaboard skipped several highlights on the itinerary. They blamed it on bad weather although we had sunny skies and a smooth sea on the entire trip. We had COCKROACHES in our cabin and in our beds. No nitrox available. Our last day was supposed to be “island hopping.” The dive guides told us to go hop on Male island in the city. Very Disappointing experience!

Amazing Trip
Every day was different and amazing in its own way. Sooo many great memories. Night diving with sharks that sat in your lap was definitely a highlight. Swimming with mantas and whale-sharks, was a blast. Meeting such a wonderful crew and passengers will definitely be a lifelong memory.
