Dont Miss this Trip
The week was nothing short of amazing. Our dive guide Hood was great and extremely knowledgable. The Dive Director (Briony) was also amazing and she got along so well with our daughter. Bar crew and Dinner Crew cant be faulted. Would get up at 6am and my coffee would be waiting for me. In short it cant be faulted. we would certainly go again.

Seeing Manta rays “flying” around Seeing octopus mating and fighting Seeing the nurse sharks in the night dive The crew and management work endlessly to ensure you are happy. Nice touches with a bbq on the beach, sunset and cocktails on another beach. Fancy yummy dinner on the front deck with all the guests, was set up with something out of a magazine for al fresco fine dining!

A Small Luxury Cruise with Good Scuba
ScubaSpa Ying is a great boat to be on. We were in the Dolphin suite; it was large (for a boat) and quite comfortable. I'd give the bed a B+ or A- for comfort (which is better than some resorts I've been to in the Maldives; I doubt you'll find better a better bed on a boat). The food was fantastic; there was a good variety (usually some sea food and some chicken or beef). There was Italian night, Mexican night, and Asian night. I feel this is the best food you're going to find on any boat. The diving was great! They have fantastic dive briefings with slides and topographical maps of the sea floor. There is abundant wildlife in the Maldives. The dive boat is quite comfortable. The guides are very helpful. The dives typically only lasted about 45 minutes each, though. My air consumption isn't the best, but it's not bad. I feel that we were a bit deeper than needed for some of the dives. Our experience here was basically dive, eat, nap, and repeat for 3 times each day. There is limited entertainment on the boat itself, though; your time on the boat will be eating, napping, or socializing with the other guests (and fellow scuba divers are usually pretty good company). They'll take you out for a beach day once or twice. They may get out the stand-up paddle boards or inner tube sometimes. You can expect something like 17 dives while on the boat including one night dive.

Best Week Ever!
Scubaspa Ying far exceeded our expectations for this trip! I absolutely must gush about our dive master, Naphsu, who was INCREDIBLE. Naphsu, Afu, Vishoo... all the dive guides were first class and they made the week unforgettable. I have nothing but the best things to say about our experience... wonderful accommodations (the Manta Suite is totally worth it), impeccable service by the entire staff, and we made lifelong connections with people from across the globe. Kudos to Scubaspa for the adventure of a lifetime!

Inspirational, educational and so comfortable that we barely had to lift a finger for a week.
Scuba package: Best dive in all 15 years with mantas chain feeding, somersault feeding and cyclone feeding in front of us for 20+ mins. Add a whaleshark on a dive, all the macro life, and fantastic crew and dive guides who bring all the good vibes - this week was truly special. Spa package: I chose not to dive but had a great time snorkelling and saw all the big stuff! I found it a truly relaxing experience whilst also pushing my boundaries on holiday. Thanks so much to the whole team!

Wow what a way to do a live a board!!
I love the combination of catering for divers and non-divers. The spa and snorkelling and shore execursions are fantastic. the staff is actually the highlight of the trip. Nothing is ever to much for them. The service is always with a smile and very quickly they learn how you like your drinks, what your preferneces are and they cater to these effortlessly. they go out of their way to make you feel special and welcome. The diving crew is fantastic from the dive guides to the support staff on the Dhoni everything is effortless.The movie night under the stars and the beach BBQ was really memorable. This is a must take trip.
