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.

Incredible experience!
My experience aboard ScubaSpa was fabulous! The staff were so kind, attentive and catered to your every wish. The food was absolutely delicious. One would not go on a Liveaboard for the food, but this was really a highlight of the trip. The dives were amazing. We saw so many things from mantas to rays to sharks and so many colorful fish. The dive guides were patient and the staff aboard the dive boat were so helpful. The attention to detail was impeccable and the staff really catered to your needs. I cannot wait to take another voyage with ScubaSpa.

Most Awesome Dive Trip Ever
So much to see, everything - the ocean was our looking glass and we say it all, dolphins, turtles, moray eels, fish - tiny to small to big to large - amazing, octopus, cuttlefish, sting rays, eagle rays - just floating by like a carpet ride, manta rays - so graceful, sharks - nurse, tiger, black tip, white tip, hammerhead, and of course the whale shark - WOW! WOW! WOW! A most comfortable space to sleep, rest, eat, brief, and relax - the Scubaspa Yang was awesome with the most professional staff ever, they had everything needed in mind - very personal to each guest, they always knew what we needed or wanted for the moment at hand. The extras were over the top with beach BBQs, evening entertainment, and the dining room displays - so thoughtful. Dive masters were very knowledgeable of every site we visited and always made it a point to explain why and where we dove and what we may see - its the ocean and nature - nothing is for sure. We did not know ahead of time this was Shark Week, it was absolutely amazing. We even had the opportunity to get a few PADI certificates for awareness on Sharks and Whale Sharks, and we learned about shark conservation for 2 special guests that were on board with us as divers. This was the most awesome, wonderful, exciting, entertaining, educational dive trip we have ever been on and will take the best opportunity to do it again in the future. Thank you LiveAboard for showing us this safari trip - a gift of a lifetime.

Its the little things that make the difference.
I have been diving for over 20 years and had not seen a manta ray up close. That was one of the main reasons for taking this trip and the mantas did not disappoint. They were graceful and amazing to watch. I could have watched them on every dive. We also loved the service in the dining room. They were always attentive and remembered what you drank with each meal and always made sure there was something you would like. Why only 3 starts for Value for money. Let's be honest, this boat isn't cheap. However, other than the diving, everything was extra. Coffee and tea were only free during breakfast. Are you kidding me? Want a soda or a beer, that will cost you extra. Want to go on the night dive but don't have your advanced certification (for which night diving is NOT a requirement), they will charge you for a 20 minute conversation. It felt like you were getting nickeled and dimed for everything. That was so disappointing.

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!

Unbelievably incredible dive trip!
Wow. This was my first liveaboard and bar is set high. I cannot express enough how awesome this trip was. What an amazing crew of people who work hard and keep smiling as they ensure you are happy, comfortable, and safe. It was very organized in every aspect. I saw everything I wanted to see during this trip. We were even lucky enough to see a whale shark. I met one couple who was on their 5th time doing this specific liveaboard and I can see why. I would definitely like to come back and do Scubaspa Yang again!

Far exceeded our expectations and our teenage kids loved the trip
It was hard to say goodbye to the boat and crew. The enthusiasm of the crew for every dive site was wonderful and we always felt confident in the dive plan. This trip has definitely spoiled us for other dive boats.
