Nice boat. Good crew, Mixed diving

The trip was a bit mixed for me. I am a PADI OWSI and have dove around the world but had not been to Maldives yet. I had high expectations for the dives but they were not as good as expected. Coral reef everywhere in the world has changed and the damage was sad but expected. The divemaster and his team were nice but had a slight language barrier as they were Italian and English was very much a second language. (If you're Italian they are wonderful). The dives were unusually as the divemaster did not do any safety checks on the boat or speak to us other than say jump in the water. Once in we had very long swims at depth of 30+ meters to reach reefs multiple times that exhausted our air before we had time to see much. We also had equipment malfunction where my wife octopus was free flowing right before we entered the water. the divemaster just said bend the ocotopus hose and go. I wouldn't allow that and had to abort the dive. The rest of the divers aborted a few minutes later when the divemaster couldn't find the site. Currents were strong and it was a hard swim back to the boat multiple times. We did get to see black tip sharks on a couple of dives but every dive no matter where we went was impacted with 3 to 10 other boats and divers on the site at the same time. This meant there could be up to 100+ divers in the water on a site at the same time. I was kicked in the face by strange divers at least 8 times on dives. Sorry for the bad stuff but I wanted to put it out there. Good stuff: We saw 2 whale sharks, did a night Manta Dive and a Night nurse shark dive.

Nice Cabin. Some good dives. Food was good.

Good diving and liveaboard

Really enjoyed the diving, especially shark and mantas. Our dive master kept us safe which is the most important thing (I had trouble with the current at one point and he came over to assist me), but he was not very engaged in pointing out stuff to see or, really, in any other way. Overall the crew was excellent and responsive to any request, but the food was just adequate. Didn’t go hungry, but also didn’t look forward to the next offering.

We stayed in a Master Suite which was only a little more expensive than a regular cabin. It was enormous and had a wonderfully comfortable king bed. It was the best cabin we have had on any liveaboard.. In the Maldives you dive from a separate large “Doney” (?) which we quite liked. Didn’t see any whale sharks, but lots of mantas, sharks and small stuff.. The boat was only half full of divers so everything was relaxed and easy. On a full boat it might not have been so pleasant..

Great dive guides and rooms

Mantas, ease of diving, great weather!

The room we had, the dive guide we had, the other guests

Great adventure!

The crew really cares about the guest experience - they work super hard day-in and day out to ensure dive plans go smoothly. The dining crew is very detail-oriented and crafty -very talented chefs and artisans. The boat crew was highly attentive, always willing to help with gear and getting on/off the dive boat. The dive guides were very knowledgable - I am relatively new to diving and while this boat does not require as many logged dives as other liveaboards, experience with drift diving / currents before going on the trip will help make the most of the trip.

Manta Rays, Sharks, and Beach BBQ

Fabulous experience!

Hundreds of different rays and sharks throughout the week. The whale shark and mantas hanging around the boat at night. Teseo made our trip extra fun and special.

The crew is very attentive and super friendly. Diving was great and so were the dive guides. Accommodations and boat amenities were excellent.
