My diving experience in Maldives with Carpe Vita was the most amazing dive trip ever!
The highlights of my trip were the fabulous diving that included seeing a whale shark, a nice comfortable trip in a great cabin, eating wonderful food, and meeting new friends.

Terrific Escape From the World!
Obviously strange to vacation during covid times, but the crew was exemplary on all fronts. The boat was immaculate and every effort was made to ensure our comfort and safety. Looking forward to traveling with them again!

The dive trip of a lifetime but I am determined to come back.
From the moment we were collected from the airport everything ran like clockwork. The dive groups were small which was helpful. The dive locations were all varied. They included white tip shark watching by reef hook, diving with mantas at night and swimming and lying on the sand at the ocean floor with 20 or more very friendly nurse sharks. Honestly the trip of a lifetime. The meals on the boat were such high quality and we were well looked after with fresh towels every day, good air con in rooms and dive briefing room. Must say it was a luxury experience and worth every penny.

Sharks and Manta
I did a 7 day LOB on Carpe Vita. It was the best diving I’ve done in my life! Amazing experience seeing so many sharks up close. The water temperature was great and the boat benefited from a Dhoni (separate dive boat attached yo the big boat) which made getting to dive spots much easier. The cabins were comfortable and well maintained. The food was great and always prepared with care. The only thing that would have improved the experience would have been a little more enthusiasm from the dive guides (who must have been very tired after a long dive season!) would recommend

Amazing boat and food - manta dives the highlight!
The trip was great! This was our fourth liveaboard and this boat/the cabins were the most spacious yet :) Amazing food and many options on board for all types of eaters! This was the “Best of the Maldives” tour that visited several atolls and points of interest :)

Journey to be marked for the rest of your life.
Starting with the service and guidance of the entire team of the Liveaboard.com which was essential for the realization of this trip, as I dealt directly with them without the intermediary of an agency or diving school.The exuberant marine life, paradisiacal dive sites, dives with great visibility and the presence of many stingrays of various types, especially mantas, sharks in abundance with emphasis on whale shark and hammerhead shark.Simply the best trip of my life!!Thank you to the Liveaboard.com team and Carpem Vita Novo.
