Again an phantastic Divesafaritrip with Carpe (Diem&Vita)
This Trip was again a Highlight for Safaricruises in the maledives. Excellence helpful Crew and Instructors, bevor, during and after the dives. Vessel is a little bit older but good in shape and technical top. Highlights: i‘ve enjoyed all offered 25dives. We have had chopy water conditions in the north of maledives, so they changed the route. This was absolutly no problem for me, because the have orderd a Inland flight for me from Male to Dharavandhoo. Great Trip

Great liveaboard, amazing value
Carpe Novo had really friendly staff, the dive guides were super knowledgeable and accommodating as far as transfers to and from the airport. Quality of diving and price cannot be beat. Food was excellent the whole trip, and the boat was spacious and felt luxurious compared to other liveaboard I’ve been on. 10/10 would book with them again.

Outstanding holiday
Having just returned from a week on Carpe Diem i cannot recommend this trip enough. The crew were fantastic. The chief was amazing and the food was outstanding. I had informed the boat that I was coeliac and I was blown away with how much I was able to eat. We saw so many different sharks, manta, rays, fish, the lush is endless. I will definitely be returning in the future, thank you everyone on Carpe Diem

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.

2nd time here, will come back again
We were so impressed with Carpe Diem last time by the fantastic dives and food we just wanted to do it again. We're pleased to find that they have maintained the very high standard all-around. The crew were super friendly and helpful. There's always someone you can turn to whenever you need anything, no matter how early or late. Delicious and great variety of food every meal. Every bite was a delight. Detailed dive briefings so we knew what we're about to see. Special thanks to our dive guide, Munkko, who has been so professional, fun and experienced through out the while trip. He always puts our safety first and made sure everyone was ok. He also knows the water very well and was able to point out different creatures, big or small. We're very happy to see whalesharks, manta rays, nurse sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, countless reef sharks, eagle rays, octopus, nudis, scorpion leaf fish, napoleon fish, turtles and many more. We really had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back again.

Ideal live-aboard dive holiday
Mid day snacks and all meals were excellent. The made local traditional food as well as typical western food. They even shared recipes with us. Everyone on the boat was very attentive to our needs. The dive guides were very professional and had great pre-dive briefings. Even the bar keeper was super friendly helping me stop dolphins. Book any trip with the Carpe Maldives company and you will be more than satisfied.

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!
