The best investment with the best liveaboard. Miss you all :)
Very good, love the boat people and how Anna took as to the best dive points with the safety first. The only thing that was missing was the beach party which other boat did have despite the weather.

Fantastic diving on the northern trip
We went on the northern route in September 2025. We had some fantastic diving. There were a tonne of mantas, and lots of dives focussed on finding and watching mantas, including a great night dive with mantas. We saw the occasional reef shark during the trip then had one dive with great visibility and maybe 50 reef sharks circling us, which was awesome. We also saw whale sharks whilst snorkelling, and had a beautiful experience with a whale shark and dolphins approaching the boat at night. The dive guides and other staff were attentive and experienced. The boat is beautiful, brand new, and has great furniture and fittings. We had a great time!

Cruise at the top between beautiful dives, comfort of the boat and welcome from the staff
The advice and answers to questions on liveabord reassured me and guided me to book. Then the comfort of the boat, the rooms, very nice staff and the service without overdoing it (as I had the case in Egypt) but always smiling, excellent food. The dive boat is a real plus! We weren't too close to preparing. The rented equipment was pretty decent except for the fins I must say which were really not suitable: by paying 250 usd for the equipment I expected some quality but for the fins it is really a failure, especially with so much current, you have to be able to swim efficiently and I often lost energy and air ... Otherwise for the rest everything was fine.

Value for money
The "Spirit of Maldives" liveaboard truly offered value for money on this Northern Atolls itinerary. The diving was exceptional, with the Mantaray encounters being a definite trip highlight. The dive guides were knowledgeable and ensured safe, memorable dives. The Services provided by the crew were generally excellent—they were friendly and attentive, making the boat experience very comfortable. While the cabins and overall boat comfort were great for a week at sea, the food and drinks could be improved to match the high standard of the diving and crew service. I highly recommend this trip for divers seeking fantastic marine life at a competitive price.

Northern Wonders: the team ( and the whale sharks!) made this a great trip
Great 10 days with too many dive- highs to mention: whale sharks , SO many mantas. Manta night dive, big stuff and small stuff! Lukas & Anna made a great team as boat managers and the crew seemed to all work seamlessly together - meaning that even with 3-4 dives a day, the transition for every dive was as easy as possible . The daily schedule worked really well, and the team managed a few curve balls (replacement dhoni) such that it had minimal impact on the trip. Chefs Nandana and Romesh provided fabulous curries and endless fresh fruits, veg dishes etc. Asanga and Johirul were always cheerful & super attentive at meal times . Adam had an enormous smile every morning when we got on and off the boat and the entire boat and dhoni crew and captains kept us safe and in/out of the water cheerfully & efficiently. Joe was our dive guide and brought his laid back Fijian vibe with him, making dives a pleasure . Aqua Queen was a really comfortable boat. The result of all of the above was that 25 dives over 9 days never felt exhausting. I would recommend and hope that we can return to do the Deep South itinerary .
