Fantastic experience that I would easily recommend
tl;dr ScubaSpa was well worth the price. The large cabins were comfortable, staff was friendly, and the scuba was seamless. This was my first liveaboard and first time in Raja Ampat. Both blew away my expectations. I think a large part of that was due to ScubaSpa. I didn't know if I wanted to do a liveaboard. I've been diving for over a decade but always a few days from shore during my trips. The older I've gotten the more willing I have been to spend money on comfort and convenience. So I worried about being stuck on a cramped boat for a week and doing a lot of dives. That ended up noting being a problem with ScubaSpa. The extra boat (dhoni) they have made diving extremely seamless. Everything was kept on the spacious dive boat, taken care of, and prepared before each dive. The groups were small at 2-4 people and each guide took different paths so that we weren't all crowded. It really made the dives much more enjoyable not having 8 other people try to crowd around a tiny shrimp. The atmosphere was relaxed but efficient. I appreciated having an itinerary and how many dives they packed into our stay. I was afraid of being burnt out by diving, and towards the end I was getting tired, but I found myself being disappointed that I couldn't do even more dives.

Excellent boat, great service, unique arrangement with Diving Dhoni, some of the best dives ever!
The ZEN team turned this "Best of Komodo Expedition" into a fantastic adventure for all guests on board. The attention to detail and level of service was exquisite. A particular highlight was the way in which the team shared its profound understanding of Komodo's dive sites with us, supporting photography and filming efforts along the way.

- Boat management and team are exceptionally well organised and super friendly, creating an outstanding guest experience.. The detailed knowledge of the dive sites is invaluable. Dive after dive is spectacular!. The ZEN is accompanied by its own 21m Dhoni dive boat which makes getting in and out of the water much more comfortable and safe..

Unforgettable experience
Great crew, felt safe all the time. The diving in Raja Ampat really deserves its reputation as the most beautiful coral reef in the world. Food quality is on par with luxury hotel restaurants and the beach bbq is such an amazingly fun idea. The spa therapists are awesome and the variety of massage types is great to keep things refreshing. This is a luxury cruise so although it might be more expensive than other liveaboards, the value for money is excellent.

Absolutely great
We had a wonderful time during this trip. We were able to dive under perfect conditions. The boat is large and very confortable. The use of a dhoni instead of a zodiac to reach the various dive sites makes a lot of difference in terms of confort and safety. We felt blessed compared to the other liveaboards. The crew was very nice and flexible so we were able to spend at our request two full days in the « Manta Valley » as the conditions were perfect and we really enjoyed this unique experience with the manta rays which was really the highlight of our trip. The dive guides and the crew manager was also flexible and keen on making sure that we reach the dive sites without other boats around. Besides, if you like diving but also enjoy spas, small trekkings and drinks at night time - pick this boat and this crew.

Scubaspa Zen exceeded all expectations!!
Thanks to Dominic and his whole team for making our week one to remember.... This was truly the best diving and trip experience ever!
- Recommended for
- For divers, probably the main reason for choosing Scubaspa over another company is the Dhoni, the separate boat that follows the main vessel and that is used exclusively for the dives. It allows both the guests to leave all their gear on board while allowing the Dhoni crew to prepare your equipment and fill up the tanks for your next dive....Truly a game changer!!. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff is without a doubt the reason to return on the Scubaspa Zen.. The overall quality of food, accomodation, spa, dive experience....to name only a few. You simply don't want to leave the vessel after your stay !.

Incredible experience in every respect. Dom and his crew really took care of us. The diving was amazing. The abundance of fish and corals were like none we have experienced before, just beautiful. Having the Donney to take us out to dive was invaluable and provided the utmost comfort and ease for getting in and out of the water. Food was great and the bartending staff were super friendly and amusing. Amil, our dive master had the best eyes for finding small things as well as pointing out all the amazing large fish before they even came into our view! Thanks to all the crew we had a great trip.
