Great diving in Maldives
I had a 7 days liveboard on Carpe Diem on Maledives. It was beyond my expectations. After three days of diving I saw almost everything from my bucket lists: hammerhad, many kinds of sharks including: white tips, black tips, grey reef sharks, nurse sharks. I also had a close encounter with manta rays and whale sharks and many many others. The boat was comfortable. So were the cabins all with bathrooms. Food, especially local, was delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly.
