Spacious Boat for Fun Diving in MaldivesVerified review

The Carpe Novo boat was very spacious with several areas to hang out and quite large rooms and bathrooms. The cleaning service was great - everything was cleaned each morning. The roof lounge area was very fun to hang out on and enjoy the cruise or sunset. Sometimes they forgot to take the futons back out though and they were still wrapped up. The diving was nice-- we didn't always luck out with the right currents but they adapted the route based on how conditions were. Each of the guides had their strengths: one guide was super friendly and enthusiastic and helpful, others are artists and draw amazing sketches of the dive sites, and others are very knowledgeable of the dive sites. We also really enjoyed being able to leave our gear on the smaller dive boat, and it was also quite spacious! The chef and bartender were amazing and there was so much variety in the food with great service. The curries were excellent and the salads were always varied and interesting.

Good boat with bad diving instructorVerified review

Boat - mostly functional equipment and appliances (some sun beds were broken thought). You get daily fresh towels and cleaning of bathroom which is great. Food - plenty of variety, but compared with what you get on Egyptian liveaboard it is just “ok”. Diving - weakest part of the whole tour. We got only 3 diving instructors instead of 4. Our instructor was outermost unprofessional and endangered the group many times. How? - lost the group under water 4 times - instead of guiding the group and showing things stayed mostly behind playing with Nemo fish and poking with his stick in the ground - let dive part of the group on Nitrox without certification and said to them that the gas was air while it wasn’t …
