Carpe Vita
The Carpe Vita is a beautiful boat both inside & out, always clean & looking good with its lovely polished wooden floors. We had planned to go on the Carpe Diem; however, this sister ship did not disappoint. The crew was extremely knowledgeable, super friendly & underwater even better, and they all went out of their way to make sure everyone was happy & enjoying their trip. The food was a mixture of Western / Maldivian & the Chef was quite creative. The curries were just amazing and went down well with everyone. Food was plentiful, fruits of all sorts, and snacks directly after your dives and before meals, in fact, I think I put on weight!!
We went in April 2021 and both the weather and the sea conditions were just perfect – blue skies, calm flat water. The viz was amazing on all of the dives and there was a mix of medium to strong currents – take a reef hook! The marine life did not disappoint – sharks & rays galore, big tunas, jacks, turtles and eels everywhere, and an array of colors. The late evening nurse shark dive was amazing, literally hundreds and hundreds – well worth it. You also dive from the Dhoni, which is easy to in & out of the water, furthermore, you do not need to do anything except check your EANx mix before you dive. Otherwise, absolute first-class service.
We stayed in a standard room which was excellent. Very big king-size bed and another single. The room was well-lit, with plenty of plugs for electrical items & charging. The bathroom was spacious and there was always hot water 24/7.
We had an excellent time, the staff was great, the food was great and the boat was just lovely. Would I book the Carpe Vita again? Absolutely without a doubt.
