★★★★★ An unforgettable liveaboard!
I had a really amazing time on the liveaboard and I'm still totally thrilled with the experiences. The dives were just fantastic and some of them really unforgettable.The crew was great! Everyone was very friendly, helpful and always in a good mood. The dive guides were very experienced and professional, so I felt safe and in good hands at all times during the dives.The food was also an absolute highlight for me – just really delicious and always more than enough. 😊The cabin was much more spacious than I expected. There was a lot of space and a large private bathroom, which is of course worth its weight in gold after several dives.There was also plenty of space to relax on the deck. The comfortable loungers and the great view were perfect to just relax between dives.All in all, it was an all-round successful liveaboard for me with great dives, a great crew, delicious food and a lot of comfort. I felt comfortable from start to finish and would do the safari again at any time. Very clear recommendation! 🤿🐠❤️

All in all, a great experience with many highlights and diving fun!
It was a motley crew of divers of different ages, with different levels of experience and different expectations. The two cruise directors Lisa and Dave, together with the dive guides, put together very suitable groups, so that everyone could experience their highlights. In addition to very intensive encounters with reef manta rays and rays, the different underwater worlds with their flora and fauna have always resulted in interesting encounters with sharks, large, small and very small fish, etc. All in all, all around successful dives of sometimes considerable length. The varied food was very tasty and offered a lot of choice. The rooms were spacious and very well furnished and maintained. The large windows allowed a great view from the bed to the sea! With this boat and this crew and similar groups always a wonderful experience and highly recommended!

Truely the best trip of my life
This was honestly the best holiday of my life. From day 1 when we were picked up to the final drop off we had so much fun. I arrived as a solo female traveller and left with so many incredible memories and friends. I was placed in a small dive group of 3 other solo female travellers. Our dive guide Kike was the sweetest, kindest fun person to spend the week with and all of us girls would not have had nearly as good of an experience without him. His deep passion of diving, the animals, and effort to make sure we had the most memorable experiences went far above and beyond what I could’ve ever expected. I very much look forward to the next opportunity I get to dive with him again as all our dives were so fun, safe, and exciting regardless of the weather conditions. A true testament to how wonderful and caring he was as our guide. As for the rest of the boat it was fantastic, everyone was so lovely and accomodating to everyone and made such an effort to make our trip as amazing as possible. A few special shoutouts to Joe for being another amazing guide, Sul for alway ensuring we were safe to enter the water and Lisa for her undeniable passion during all dive briefings and care as the Cruise Director. I also did my nitrox course on board and I highly recommend. Kike instructed myself and one of the other girls and did a fantastic job explaining all of the theory and practical components to us. Overall the food was amazing, the diving was incredible and tailored to our weather conditions and I couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. I can’t wait to come back and do it all again

Amazing experience
The trip aboard the Spirit was really a great experience. The boat itself is very well equipped and maintained. The crew is courteous, warm and competent. David and Lisa really do an excellent job. But the dive guides are also worth mentioning. Incredibly good-humoured, competent and concerned about safety, without imposing any unnecessary restrictions on the guests. And of course, the underwater world of the Maldives is magnificent, we saw so much. Thank you for the great time!Lena

This is what a scuba diving liveaboard is about :)
My partner and I had a great experience aboard the Spirit of Maldives. 10 days flew by, punctuated by great dives, great meals, entertaining evenings and the most professional dive conditions we have seen. This is how a liveaboard should be ran. A great thank you to Jo, Ana, Lukas and Sabah for a fantastic 10 days!
