FABULOUS Experience! My first of this caliber - definitely not my last.
Highlights: Mantas over cleaning station, Mantas and Nurse sharks night dive. Sharks and Rays in Male Harbor. We were BLESSED with no real rain event during Dives. MAXIMUM sea state was maybe 2 while running between Atoll's. While I personally missed on the Whale Shark - several people were fortunate. My first surprise was being greeted at the Airport by the Boat team and escorted with the group to the Dhony. First afternoon aboard the Carpe Novo was relaxed, evidently no 'check dive' required. The Beach BBQ was very nice, the food very tasty. Nice Island sunset. While the Dive schedule was 'aggressive', it was well planned and I didn't feel rushed. Return day and dives relaxing, plenty of time for a 24hr pre-flight down-day. The Carpe Novo seemed to have it all. Plenty of Fresh Water dispensers, and they give you a Bottle on arrival. Coffee/Tea available 24hrs. Alcohol/Beer (on Tap) available for evening meals. TOP SUN DECK underutilized....a nice quiet place to nap/read. PLENTY of space to hang out wet clothes (foredeck) and 2x hand showers on stern of Dhony post-dive.

- The Crew, from the Captain to the Cabin attendant. Even the Chief Engineer came out to greet me on occasion. Kudos to whomever plans the Logistics....everyone has a job and clearly back-fil for one another as needed. Probably the BEST "Team" effort I have experienced in a long while.. The Meals, always something tasty to choose from. Creative and flavorful. Pleasant presentation. Stopping to thank the Kitchen staff and Chef was always a pleasure, everyone makes you feel 'included' in their day.. The Dive experience overall. While I consider myself an 'experienced' Diver - I learned so much during this trip. EVERYONE was helpful with tidbits of new information. From the Divemaster, through his team of Dive-guides (some clearly very highly experienced on their own). Communication is always Key..

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.
