Loads to see. I will go again.
Taking the trip that went to the north was excellent. Got to see plenty of sharks and whale sharks and manta rays. They don’t call this trip manta madness for nothing. So good, I will return.

One of the best time of my life, I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I can.
I enjoy every minutes of the trip. Diving everyday, resting, watching the endless sea before your eyes and temporarily forget all your worries. The trip exceeds my expectation and I can't wait to come back in the future.

An unforgettable experience that you will never forget.
The diving holiday on safari was just amazing! From the first moment we felt super comfortable on board. The crew was extremely friendly, helpful and professional – you can tell right away that there is a real passion for diving behind it.The dive sites were breathtaking: crystal clear waters, impressive reefs and a fascinating variety of marine life. We noticed particularly positively that care was always taken to approach spots that are not overcrowded, so you could enjoy the underwater world in peace. We saw countless rays, manta rays, hammerhead sharks. There was no dive where we didn't see a shark. Individual wishes were also flexibly responded to in coordination with all guests, which made the experience even more personal.A big praise also goes to our diving instructor Wathey: He was always there when you needed support underwater, always made sure that everything ran safely, and at the same time made sure that we could discover the most beautiful highlights.The crew was in a great mood throughout, which made the atmosphere on board particularly pleasant. The team on the dinghy was also very helpful at all times and did a great job.The organization on board went smoothly, everything was perfectly coordinated and stress-free. The food was also top – fresh, varied and always delicious. After the dives, you could relax wonderfully and enjoy the time with like-minded people.For us it is already clear: We will definitely book the boat for the southern route again! Overall, an unforgettable experience that I would repeat at any time. Totally recommended for those who love adventure, nature and diving!

- Friendliness, warmth of the crew. Everything was done so that we could see the best dive sites with few other divers and on individual requests was entered and the dive plan adjusted in consultation with everyone. Essen.

Deeply grateful for this trip
The diving with Munkko and Redey was simply amazing! Every dive turned out to be something special :) They made the right choices, they really know where to go at the right time of the day. We had a lot of laughs, jokes and even under water we were having a lot of fun (careful, you can swallow a lot of salt water when laughing during a dive...). Our Sri Lankan chef made us putting on some kilos during only one week. Very fresh and tasty food! The whole crew from the roomboy to the captain were exceptionally friendly. Thank you so much, Carpe Diem Crew! I'm already watching out for the next holidays to spend at the Maldives with you!

Excellent week of adventure & comfort
Crew was super friendly, fun and helpful during the whole trip. The food was multicultural and delicious. The room was tidied everyday. The guide was very considerate and caring. He really knows the ocean as well as the underwater creatures and where to find them. I was so relaxed and enjoyed the dives with him. I deeply appreciate the effort of the crew who put their hearts and minds in keeping us safe and satisfied. I would definitely consider joining their cruise again in the future.

Great Dive Week
We had a great week on Carpe Diem. Helpful and friendly service/staff, excellent food, food choices left nothing to be desired, even for vegetarians. The captain and dhoni crew did a great job navigating difficult weather conditions, as did the dive guides. Special thanks to Munkko! He is very knowledgable and a lot of fun to dive with.

Awesome Dive trip!
The Crew of Carpe Diem were outstanding in every aspect. The were so capable and took such care of all the divers. They found us every marine animal we hoped to see and were professional but so friendly. They couldn’t do enough to make our vacation the best dive experience I’ve ever had. The boat Is beautiful, well equipped and so luxurious, havlnd the tender to dive from is such a pleasure and the Whale sharks and Mantas were everything I had hoped for. If you looking for an unsurpassed dive experience, go with Carpe Diem and her phenomenal crew!

Beautiful sea life with a shark seen on almost every dive, plus whale sharks and mantas!
We had a great experience on this 7-day trip aboard Carpe Diem. The boat is very professionally run, well-designed, well-maintained, and clean. The staff were super friendly, and the food was far better than we expected. We did three dives per day and always saw great dive sites teeming with life. Some highlights were seeing hammerheads, tiger sharks, and countless rays at the tuna factory, swimming with friendly nurse sharks, snorkeling with giant whale sharks covered in remoras, observing many manta rays swooping by, and finding at least four octopuses. Truly a wonderful diving vacation!
