The Magnificent Maldives on Carpe Diem!
This was my first liveabord experience and it was fantastic! The knowledge of the dive team, the locations we set out to were amazing. Thanks you Munkko, Saaz and Wathey. There pre dive briefings were very informative and set the tone for the dives. The rooms were very comfortable and always well maintained by our smiling friend Subuj! Our meals were delicious and well balanced thanks to our chef and bartender: Nilanka and Mahey! Special note of gratitude to Captain Issey and engineer Adam for getting me to some awesome reefs! And Koko and the rest of the crew for their hard work in making this trip a flawless experience. I cannot wait to share this with my friends and return. With gratitude, Susan

Great time aboard Carpe Diem
Absolutely amazing diving in Maldives. Maldives has the reputation as a bucket-list, "must do" destination, and that's for a reason. The diving was spectacular, and Carpe Diem is a great way o see it. I'd definitely sail with them again.

Great choice for a Maldives liveaboard
We are very happy with our choice to book a liveaboard with Carpe Diem. The boat was very comfortable, well maintained and special thanks to the crew - there were no wishes unfullfilled. Everyday we had delicious meals and snacks. The boat and the rooms were cleaned several times everyday. The 16 divers were split in three small diving groups, got detailed briefings before every dive and were assisted, whenever needed. The diveguides were keen to show us the best divesides, avoid the crowds and make the most of our trip... on the many beautiful and exciting dives, we were lucky to see mantas, a whaleshark, seaturtles, eagle rays and countless sharks... including bullshark, tiger sharks and a hammerhead shark! Thanks for this amazing trip!

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.

Amazing diving trip in the Maldivian Central Atolls
Amazing diving trip in the Maldivian Central Atolls. We did a good mix of dives in channels, lagoons, cleaning stations and night dives. The crew were very nice and super friendly. The food was amazing!

Breathe Taking Diving
So many, wonderful Manta encounters, a whaleshark off the back of the boat, getting in the water with a school of pilot whales, having a baby eagle ray following us for an entire dive, a gorgeous, huge purple frog fish and my husband finding an Ornate Ghost Pipefish are a few.

- Amazing animal encounters, relaxed dive schedule & knowledgeable dive guides. The service was out standing, there was a problem with a broken spring in our mattress, they flippedbit to make it manageable and within 48 hours had a new one delivered to the boat!
