Great trip despite navigated during poor weather.
I had a fantastic time on the Carpe Novo liveaboard. The onboard amenities were top-notch, the food was delicious, and the lounges were exceptionally comfortable. While the weather was poor early on and a bit washed out in the final days, it didn’t detract from the overall experience. The crew's hospitality and the boat's excellent facilities made the trip enjoyable despite the challenges.

Great Boat that needs Leadership
(1) This was my ninth LiveAboard dive trip... and this boat was different because it had no cruise director. The Carpe Novo is led by the 4 Maldivian Dive Guides. Maldivians are (by nature) a very quiet people that, in this case, lack energy and leadership skills. I didn't even know who was in charge after my first 5 hours on the boat. I don't think a head count was taken at the beginning... because I was in my room and missed the initial Boat Safety/ Familiarization/ Welcome Brief. When everybody was leaving at the end... the Guides were nowhere to be found. After a guest asked about them to say goodbye, a crew member found them in their room and brought them out. (2). The first couple of dives were chaotic because the dive guides insisted on keeping 22 divers in the water at the same location! We scared away potential sharks and swam on top of each other! TOTAL frustration! After A LOT of complaining... the guides finally did a better job a separating the groups. (3). This was a great trip overall... We saw Tiger Sharks, Whale sharks, Manta Rays, Sting Rays, Dolphins, Eagle Rays, Nurse Sharks, and White-tip Sharks. (4). The food was awesome! (5). Will I come to Maldives again? Definitely! Will I cruise Carpe Novo? Probably not.

Fantastic vessel and diving!
The carpe novo is an exceptional liveaboard vessel. It is well kept, comfortable, and the rooms are spacious. The crew was extremely helpful and friendly. they did a great job with explaining each dive site and briefing, and they were very thorough with terrain and dive planning. The food was not as diverse as I would've liked, but I also assume its difficult to get things there and we went during covid, so that wouldn't really stop me from recommending this ship! I would return to the maldives and the carpe novo in a heartbeat. Wonderful experience all around, even during challenging times.

Great trip despite rough conditions and no Whale Sharks
We had a great time on our trip - the wildlife on the reefs were fantastic. Conditions were a bit rough, which made for some interesting diving conditions, but overall the crew tried to make the best of what was available. Only issue was with communication underwater with our guides, as we had a minor incident where another guest blew their Deco limit. Overall a great trip.

Great dive experience in the Maldives
Due to the remote location our expectations for food on the boat wasn't that high but we were pleasantly surprised by the abundance of fresh fruit & vegetable options available to us at every meal. The boat rooms are spacious with a large shower & bath. They are kept clean with daily service & fresh towels are provided. The true star of the show is the abundance of underwater life. Even though it wasn't the season (April), we had whale sharks along with many other kinds of shark, Manta rays, octopus, cleaning stations, macro life & a ton a reef fish. The underwater life is amazing & prolific. If I had the time I would have stayed another week like 4 other guests did! Thanks to Carpe Novo for a great experience.

Great trip....few suggestions
Our trip was during a full moon and some windy conditions so the viz was not that good. But we did see 2 whale sharks and a few mantas. Folks that had gone a few weeks earlier had beautiful conditions and saw many more manta than we did. Lots of fish and fun macro life. Current was manageable but strong on a few dives. Crew was fantastic. A few suggestions. Replace the top deck furniture. No reason to have broken chairs on the boat. The night dive is chaos. Yes, the nurse sharks are plentiful and huge but there are too many boats and divers there to really enjoy it. There has to be another site.... and I would say that repeating the channel dives to watch the sharks go by was not my favorite thing. I would prefer to dive a wall etc. Just seems like it is a big ocean and plenty of dive sites so that we could avoid the crowds. I did appreciate that we left the area where all the boats go to snorkel with the whale sharks. That place was a zoo with all the people in the water. Our captain took us further away and we were able to snorkel with a whale shark with just our group of divers. That was awesome. Overall it was a great trip. We just felt that there might be a few sites away from all the other boats. We were in the whale shark cabin and we enjoyed it. The folks in the tiger shark cabin had trouble with their a/c and an odor from the bathroom. Oh, one more suggestion. Give the guests some free WI FI the last day so that they can check in for their flights etc.
