Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Maldives. ..I'm Come back. I had the incredible chance to spend a week aboard the MY Felicity for a diving cruise in the Maldives, and it was simply outstanding! From the moment we arrived, the whole team welcomed us with genuine warmth and smiles. You quickly feel like part of the family. A special thank you to Kandle, our dive guide, for his professionalism, contagious passion, and always-clear explanations. Thanks to him, every dive was a real adventure, full of discoveries and always in complete safety. He knows the sites like the back of his hand and takes you exactly where you need to be to experience magical moments. The dives were spectacular: colorful reefs, huge schools of fish… and even several unforgettable encounters with sharks! Every immersion left us grinning from ear to ear. On board, the crew took great care of us: delicious meals, comfortable cabins, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. You can truly feel that they love what they do and want to give divers the best possible experience. In short: MY Felicity + amazing crew + Kandle the guide = memories for a lifetime. I 100% recommend it to all diving lovers!”
