Living and Diving in the Lap of Luxury
As a tour company owner in the Canadian Rockies I know what it takes to run a smooth operation over the course of a trip. Scubaspa Yang was by far one of the best tour operations I have ever experienced. So much so I will be taking some of there ideas and ways to make guests feel like they are living in the lap of luxury the ENTIRE trip. Everything from the logistics, schedule, staff, food, safety of the guests, accommodations, cleanliness, spa treatments, yoga, layout of the boat, the dive boat, and beach adventures was above and beyond. Scubaspa Yang has set the new standard on how dive boats should all run. Could not have asked for a better exeprience! So much so that we were only booked for a 5 day trip but ended up cancelling our fancy villa stay to stay another few days on the boat instead. Liveaboard.com made it easy to book and extend the trip and also cannot thank them enough! Lastly, our cruise director (Branden) helped me arrange my underwater proposal to my now fiance and helped with a slew of logistics to do so. His customer service and expertise in everything shows why having a leader like him is essential to a smooth operation. Big big thanks to all the staff on Scubaspa Yang and liveaboard.com!

The Best Liveaboard Experience: Five Stars is an Understatement
From the moment we stepped aboard until our reluctant departure, our liveaboard trip was, quite simply, the best dive vacation we have ever taken. This is more than a dive boat; it’s a floating haven where luxury, world-class diving, and impeccable service converge. If you are looking for the ultimate adventure delivered with genuine warmth and attention to detail, book this trip immediately. World-Class Encounters Under the Waves: The diving was nothing short of extraordinary. The crew consistently put us on world-class sites, delivering the kind of marine life encounters that most divers only dream of. Every single dive felt like a page out of a documentary. We were spoiled with multiple, up-close encounters with majestic manta rays, breathtaking sightings of a whale shark, and exhilarating dives surrounded by various species of sharks and dozens of graceful eagle rays. Combined with the stunning health of the reefs—vibrant, beautiful, and teeming with life—it was a truly unforgettable underwater spectacle. Service, Comfort, and Those Perfect Details: The professionalism and friendliness of the crew were outstanding. They managed to be highly professional and safety-conscious while making us feel like family. Beyond the diving, the ship itself felt like a boutique hotel. Our cabins were spacious and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a long day of diving. But it was the little details that elevated the experience into pure luxury. From the beautifully set dining tables at every meal to the charming whaleshark drawn in the foam of our morning cappuccino, the crew's dedication to guest happiness shone through in every interaction. A Culinary Revelation for Vegans: As vegans, dining on a liveaboard can often be challenging, but the kitchen staff here delivered an absolutely fabulous culinary experience. They made the biggest effort to ensure we had varied, delicious, and exciting food for every single meal. We didn't just get a side salad; we were treated to creative, flavorful dishes that rivaled top-tier restaurants. Their dedication went far beyond expectation, making the food a true highlight of the entire trip. Final Verdict: This liveaboard sets the gold standard for dive travel. Incredible diving, spotless accommodations, and a crew that executes every detail with passion and grace. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

A perfect trip, highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable yet very comfortable diving experience
We had an incredible 5-day diving experience on the ScubaSpa Yang! The entire crew was not only welcoming but also dedicated to making our trip truly exclusive. Jim, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making us feel right at home. The diving team was equally fantastic. They were highly professional and made sure we felt completely safe at all times. Our guide, Ahu, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and always eager to share his expertise with us. Each dive was not only safe but full of fascinating insights into the underwater world. The pre-briefing sessions were also very helpful and insightfull to make the best of our experience. A perfect trip from start to finish! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable diving experience yet very comfortable and relaxing, with great food and the nicest vibes. The LiveAboard team was also very accomodating and perfectly communicated with us from booking to arrival.

Luxury liveaboard diving holiday
Diving was extraordinary. Our dive guides showed us reefs and marine life that exceeded expectations.Food and beverages were exceptional, with great variety and everything prepared to perfection. Crew is fantastic, with everybody going out of their way to ensure the best possible guest experience. The boat offers very comfortable cabins and a luxurious spa. All in all this is a liveaboard experience above anything else that I have experienced and I am already looking forward to my next trip with Scubaspa.

Excellent
It was a very pleasant and pleasant trip, the diving was not what I expected probably because of the amount of divers there are today, The species of the boat was very good since it traveled with my wife who does not dive and she was very happy

Best liveaboard experience in 20 years
The boat is more like a luxury hotel, with large, clean rooms and bathrooms. The staff were extremely professional, anticipated every need ahead of time and went above and beyond, to make this a five star experience! Food was fantastic and the dive experience with the dedicated guides was the best in my 20 years of liveaboard diving with a variety of companies around the world.
