I recommend 100%
I felt safe from start to finish on this cruise.The guides are perfect: they have an excellent knowledge of the environment and do everything to respect the fauna and flora. We have briefs to explain what we can see underwater: the behaviour of the animals, what to do and what not to do.I'm vegan and my partner is a vegetarian: they've been taking care of us all week.They did everything they could to make this cruising week amazing, and it was.The ocean is not a zoo, there is no guarantee of what you will see in the water. However, the guides do everything so that you can see beautiful things and above all: each dive is unforgettable: the sites are exceptional and you see sharks on every dive.We were also incredibly lucky to be alone with a whale shark and to see a manta ray at the back of the boat.We will be back!

Phenomenal dive experiences
I returned from my very first liveaboard adventure — and my first dives in the Maldives — aboard the Emperor Leo, and it absolutely blew me away. Every single expectation I had was surpassed. The three phenomenal dive guides, Alessia, Albert, and Maria, were true professionals who poured their passion and expertise into making sure we had unforgettable underwater experiences day after day. Even though I was traveling solo, I always felt completely safe and cared for, which allowed me to dive with total peace of mind and pure excitement. The cabin was spacious, spotless, and comfortable — the perfect place to relax between dives.

Highly recommended due to excellent dive crew
We didn’t want to leave this liveaboard because the dive sites and especially the dive guides made this trip very special. The briefings were amazing. Never before did we get such detailed descriptions of the dive sites and so much additional information on the marine life there. We really had a great time. Especially the Manta night dive was an outstanding experience. We can highly recommend staying at Emperor Leo.
