Love Maldives
It’s a very spacious boat. Some areas are shabby and need some work done, but it’s comfortable. The food was excellent. The diving was excellent. The crew were helpful and friendly and worked super hard. The guides could have been more involved with their groups and more animated/fun with us. You felt like they were doing their job, they did it well, but just felt a little apart.

Great week on the Carpe Vita
Great week diving on the Carpe Vita. The crew were very friendly and the dive guides very knowledgeable and safe. The food was excellent. The boat is very comfortable and the air condition cabin I had was spacious and cleaned every day. The diving and dive sites were varies and certainly ticked my box for sharks and Mantas. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook.

Tauchen im Monsunwechsel nicht empfehlenswert
Ich war vom 18.5.-28.5. auf der Safari. Leider war das Wetter sehr schlecht. Bedingt durch den Monsunwechsel hatten wir starken Wind und viel Regen. Dadurch konnten wir nicht eine Rundreise durch die verschiedenen Atolle durchführen, sondern hingen auf einem Atoll fest und konnten nur innenliegende Tauchplätze betauchen. Es war alles in allem nicht so schön wie ich es von anderen Safaris gewohnt war. Ich würde um diese Jahreszeit, dh ab Mitte Mai davon abraten noch Safaris auf den Malediven zu machen. Die Verpflegung und der Service auf dem Boot waren wie gewohnt gut. Beach Barbecue konnte wetterbedingt nicht stattfinden. Die Tauchgänge wurden teilweise mehrfach an den gleichen Orten durchgeführt. Des öfteren war die Strömung falsch und der TG wurde nicht abgebrochen, sondern trotzdem weiter durchgeführt was nicht besonders sinnvoll war. 4-6 TG waren sehr unbefriedigend. Ich würde dem Veranstalter nahe legen um diese Zeit keine Safari mehr anzubieten.
