Magnificent week. The guides are competent, the staff friendly, the food really very good. And then diving... magnificent! Excellent ratio between the number of guides and the number of divers. Fixed group division based on skill and Nitrox/air.

Wonderful week of diving aboard the Princess Sara!
Superb week spent aboard the Princess Sara! Thank you to all the crew and guides for these amazing dives.My plane was rescheduled to arrive in the afternoon instead of in the morning, but the crew of the Princess Sara came to pick me up directly at the airport at no extra cost. It was really very appreciableThe Princess Sara is a spacious boat with plenty of space and there is room not to feel cramped. The crew pays constant attention to the well-being and safety of passengers. The service is really excellent on all levels. The Dhoni is large enough for everyone to store their equipment and equip themselves easily and the crew of the Dhoni is always attentive during the launching and re-boarding phases.Most dive sites are 15 - 20 minutes from Dhoni from the Princess Sara.On the way back from the dive site, I advise you to go to the rooftop of the dhoni to admire the view of the sea, the turquoise lagoon and the view of the atolls.Meals are served in the form of a wide variety of buffets, vegetables, meat and fish at all meals.Let's talk about the dives! for the most part they are magnificent. Some sites are particularly rich in corals, the Fesdu Wrek wreck is magnificent. Kuda Kah Thila had a density of corals and reef fish, tuna, grey sharks, white tip, black tip. It was incredible. The static night dive with the mantas is really nice and imprints beautiful images in the retina.In May, the visibility underwater is a little less good. The dives in the passes are a little more random depending on the current if it comes from the ocean or if it comes out of the lagoon, you will be able to admire more or less pelagics, but if you are lucky, it can really be a festival of sharks, eagle rays, tuna, Barracudas etc...Not a dive without admiring the reef sharks. The South Male Atoll allowed us to come across a lot of hawksbill turtles.The Tank Shark site in Male allowed us to come across hammerhead sharks and guitar sharks.The highlight of the show is the snorkeling AND diving encounter with whale sharks. It was really magical. On some sites, especially in the Kandus (passes), on the atoll of Vaavu, the coral reef is really very very damaged and the corals are 80% dead but these dives have the interest of being able to admire sharks and eagle rays in the current.The briefings were really detailed with an emphasis on safety and respect for the fauna and flora.To make the most of your cruise, I recommend having an Advance Open Water and a Nitrox certification to limit fatigue. Most dives start around 25-30m and end in the 10-15m zone. An Open Water does not allow you to enjoy the richness of all the sites in my opinion.To sum up: definitely the most beautiful diving experience for me, a great liveaboard experience and a MUST for all lovers of sharks, rays, and pelagics in general.

A Princess' stay!
I felt like a princess throughout this stay haha. The meals served were excellent and well balanced. At each meal there was a vegetarian and pescarian option. There were always snacks available between each dive. The staff was really super attentive especially the bartender and assistants on the boat. I especially thank Baiju, Shakko, Matteo and Maseeh, very professional and who know what to do in case of a problem underwater or outside, which is very reassuring. I also thank our captain for his impeccable conduct, I was not sick once during the stay!

Best liveaboard experience
This trip exceeded all my expectations. The boat was extremely comfortable, with spacious cabins and large, well-appointed bathrooms. Everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged. The crew was both warm and highly professional, always attentive and ready to help. They even rearranged the diving groups according to divers level and performance. The food was excellent and varied every day. There was a wide selection at each meal, including vegetarian options, fish, and meat, all freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The diving was, without a doubt, the highlight. We were guided by an outstanding and experienced dive master who made every dive smooth and safe (❤️ Baichu). The encounters were unforgettable: 11 species of sharks, including tiger, whale, nurse, and hammerhead sharks. We also saw eagle rays, stingrays, eels, vibrant and well-preserved coral reefs, and dolphins almost every day from the boat. I strongly recommend choosing the “Deep South” route — Addu, Fuvahmulah, and Suvadiva — for truly exceptional diving. A huge thank you to Princess Sara for an incredible experience.

An unforgettable liveaboard experience with breathtaking dives, incredible marine life, outstanding food, and exceptional crew hospitality from start to finish.
The Princess Sara liveaboard was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every dive offered breathtaking encounters—manta rays gliding gracefully through the blue, sharks cruising the reefs, playful dolphins, and serene sea turtles. The underwater diversity was simply spectacular. Onboard life was just as impressive. The food was exceptional, with abundant variety and fresh ingredients at every meal. A highlight of the trip was fishing off the boat and enjoying our own catch prepared fresh by the crew—an unforgettable touch. The crew’s professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail made the entire journey seamless and enjoyable. Truly a world-class liveaboard experience that I would recommend without hesitation.
