Unforgettable experience. Great crew, felt safe all the time. The diving in Raja Ampat really deserves its reputation as the most beautiful coral reef in the world. Food quality is on par with luxury hotel restaurants and the beach bbq is such an amazingly fun idea. The spa therapists are awesome and the variety of massage types is great to keep things refreshing. This is a luxury cruise so although it might be more expensive than other liveaboards, the value for money is excellent.”

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Scubaspa Zen exceeded all expectations!! Thanks to Dominic and his whole team for making our week one to remember. ... This was truly the best diving and trip experience ever!”

Recommended for: For divers, probably the main reason for choosing Scubaspa over another company is the Dhoni, the separate boat that follows the main vessel and that is used exclusively for the dives. It allows both the guests to leave all their gear on board while allowing the Dhoni crew to prepare your equipment and fill up the tanks for your next dive....Truly a game changer!!. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff is without a doubt the reason to return on the Scubaspa Zen.. The overall quality of food, accomodation, spa, dive experience....to name only a few. You simply don't want to leave the vessel after your stay !.
