Carpe Diem invites you to explore the vibrant central atolls, the thrilling south, and the untouched deep south atolls of the Maldives. With an experienced crew guiding you to the best dive sites and Nitrox included, this liveaboard is ideal for diving, surfing, and fishing enthusiasts. Enjoy breathtaking views from the sun deck in a serene atmosphere.

Boat Interior
The yacht's 10 cabins accommodate 20 divers and guests, ensuring comfort across the board. The lower deck features six standard cabins, with double cabins on the main deck, and suites and deluxe rooms on the upper deck, all equipped with air conditioning and private showers. Named cabins like 'Salsa' and 'Smile' add a personal touch, while the sunny sun deck offers a perfect relaxation spot. The open-air dining area and the upper deck lounge with entertainment facilities provide ample space for relaxation and enjoyment amidst the Maldivian seascape.

Dive Deck
The dive deck, outfitted with Coltri compressors and offering nitrox filling, ensures a seamless diving experience. Access to dive sites is facilitated by a tender and a speedboat, with Scuba Pro gear available for rent.

Safety
Carpe Diem prioritizes your safety, equipped with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, life jackets, and an emergency alarm system for peace of mind during your safari.

Experienced Dive Crew
With three dive guides on board, divers can enjoy personalized attention, grouped by experience level. The crew's extensive knowledge and dedication to diving in the Maldives ensure a memorable underwater journey for every guest aboard Carpe Diem.

Special Trips to the Deep South and Northern Atolls of Maldives
Offering diverse routes, Carpe Diem explores the less crowded South, Deep South, and Northern atolls. These pristine areas boast untouched coral reefs and an abundance of pelagic life, offering a unique diving experience away from the usual crowds.

Itineraries
Experience the Maldives' iconic dive sites with Carpe Diem, visiting Baa and Lhaviyani Atolls, and Ari Atoll known for manta ray encounters. The safari promises close encounters with these majestic creatures, alongside dives in the coral-rich waters of Baa and Lhaviyani and the chance to swim with whale sharks in the Maldives' crystal-clear waters.

When to Go
The ideal diving season in the Maldives runs from December to May, offering the best conditions for underwater exploration. However, the Maldives' consistent visibility and warm water temperatures make it a year-round diving destination

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.
