Incredible scuba diving week exploring the central Maldives
It was our first time scuba diving in the Maldives, and we’re so glad we chose Ocean One for the experience. The organisation was smooth, the crew and dive guides were incredibly friendly, and the rental gear was in great condition — we always felt safe and well taken care of. In addition to exploring vibrant dive sites teeming with life, we had unforgettable encounters with manta rays and sharks. We also enjoyed two relaxing island visits and a fantastic sunset barbecue right on the boat. All in all, it was a truly unforgettable trip, and we’d happily dive with Ocean One again.

Wonderful diving experience among the central atolls
Beautiful dive cruise on Ocean One.The ship is very comfortable and safe with 4 decks and large cabins, and the staff, always helpful and professional, prepared local seafood and Italian specialties throughout the week.Diving with Francesco, Irey and his group of experienced divers has always been safe among the sites in the central atolls of the Maldives.We were able to see spectacular manta rays, gray reef sharks, moray eels, turtles, tuna and fish of wonderful colors over and over again, immersed in the beautiful Maldivian coral reef.In addition we also visited two islands with an aperitif on white beaches.The environment is very international with explanations in Italian, English and French.I will definitely repeat this experience with the cruise of the southern atolls.Also great closing barbecue.

Exceeded my expectations, great liveaboard!
Was on the central maledives cruise starting December 4th 2023 and it was an absolute blast! The boat is in great condition and very spacious. Food was superb - Buffet for breakfast and lunch, set menu for dinner. The crew catered for all special diets like vegan food perfectly. The dives were phenomenal. Channel and thila dives with dozens of grey sharks, eagle ray, manta rays, whaleshark, turtles, octopus, so nothing else to wish for. You should consider that there are many dives at 30m with very strong currents, and with four instructors for 20-30 guests, you should be comfortable to dive alone with your buddy in challenging conditions. The guests and instructors were mostly French natives. But Lucila, one of the instructors, mostly took care of the six international guests. She did an amazing job to make sure that all info and briefings were provided in English and that we had a great time under water and on board. Thanks Lucila and the whole team for such a great experience!

amazing
Dear Ocean one, it was a fantastic experience on your liveaboard. We had a great time. The crew members were also amazing, especially Lou. She was by far the best guide. She took care of the English speakers and did this with great passion. Her briefings before the dives were very clear. We had already done several diving trips and liveaboards where we received different guides and briefings. This allows us to conclude that Lou's passion, knowledge and dedication to diving was excellent. Checco also took great care of the less experienced divers and reassured them. We definitely want to come back with the Ocean One. If there is one point of criticism, it is that the boat is slightly dated. However, the rooms were clean and tidy and the food was very good. We have lost our hearts to the Maldives. Thanks to ocean one and the crew. Lots of love Yannick, Stephan and Sophie

so much fun, I wish we had done a longer liveaboard
The divemasters were all great. The rotated around and really respected the life/environment. We had some great dives seeing manta rays, sharks, and worked hard to make it enjoyable and comfortable. We even met the owner who joined for a few days. It was really nice to have a couple sunset happy hours on sand bars / beaches. Food was pretty good - breakfast is repetitive but lots of good lunches and dinners. Tons of delicious tuna,
