World class boat, great crew, amazing food. This is by far the best liveaboard I’ve been on in the Maldives. The boat is modern, safe, comfortable and elegant. The crew are great and there is really no reason to complain about anything. The rooms are comfortable which makes it easy to feel rested after a good night sleep and ready for another day of diving.”

As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Sets a new standard for liveaboards. 10/10. I only ever want to dive on boats like this from now on. Incredibly luxurious and spacious. Private ensuite with a view from the shower that some people pay 10k/night for at a resort. Food was incredible too. Freshly cooked eggs to order every morning. Delicious meals 3 times / day - not your usual liveaboard fare. And the dive crew - who were knowledgable, relaxed, professional, and friendly - found all the best encounters for us. Mantas, whale sharks, tiger sharks, nudibranchs - everything you could ask for and much much more. The diving setup - including a huge separate dive boat with everyone’s gear pre-setup, was the most sophisticated and hassle-free I have ever experienced. I will be back again!”

Recommended for: Incredible luxurious boat. Unbelievable diving. Sensational food.
