Best diving experience
We had such a great time. The dive sites were outstanding. In the beginning, it was a bit challenging because we are not experienced divers but the guides took special care of us. The total crew was unbelievable friendly and the food was so good.

Great trip!
I had a great trip. The other guests were French speaking but the guides (also French) went out of their way to keep me involved and informed. The staff were happy and keen to help too.

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,

Great people
Great people on board and went to great extent to make a non French speaker at home. Clean room and common area. Food wise, the choice is limited guess cos maldives itself import most food except fishes, banana and coconut.

So many amazing memories from this trip and I can't wait to make more!
My daughter and I decided to do our very first liveaboard in 2024 and I can't imagine a better place to start. The dive guides were knowledgeable and patient and were able to cater to everyone's experience level. While I wouldn't describe this as a luxury liveaboard, it was absolutely perfect for our budget and even exceeded some of our expectations. I tend to be a bit of a picky eater, but the food was better than I could have hoped for. Most of my boat excursions have been with larger commercial cruise ships, so I'm very glad that I chose an upper level cabin. Even when the boat would move at night, the rocking never caused any sea sickness for myself or my daughter.

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

Best diving experience in the Maldives!
The whole experience during my liveaboard with Les Amis des Maldives was absolutely amazing! It really surpassed all my expectations. Since the very first moment I felt like at home, as everybody made me feel super comfortable (crew, instructors...) and also I was lucky to meet nice people and we became the best diving buddies! We had some really cool dives: I can say the best dives of my life as we saw many different species of sharks, mantas, eagle rays, turtles, octopus, beautiful fish and coral, and so on... The underwater wildlife in the Maldives is really amazing and also at night, after dinner, we could see the whaleshark, mantas, dolphins, cuttlefish... right next to us, coming next to the boat and it was such a beautiful moment to experience. All the people working on Ocean One was always making sure that we have the best diving experiences: planning the itinerary and the dive sites very carefully always having in account those which have the best conditions depending on the weather and currents and making sure that there are no other divers apart from us. We did many cool dives (23 in total) and all the instructors are really nice and super good instructors. Mostly Lucila made me feel super comfortable underwater and was always making sure that we were having the best experience. Also on the boat she was always helping us with everything we needed and everytime I needed something Lucila, Francesco and all the instructors were there to help and make us feel better. I really appreciate that and I'm so grateful. Talking about the crew, they are the nicest people I've ever met, always ready to help us with a smile, they deserve the best! Also the food on board is really nice and they did the impossible to make a diary-free diet just for me, I really appreciate that, thanks chef!Thank you so much to everybody for making possible this amazing experience in the Maldives that I will never forget!Alexandra.
