Scubaspa Yin Liveaboard Reviews

I don't know where to begin! I guess to start by saying this was a trip of a lifetime and ScubaSpa and employees made it that much more special. Everything from the boat accommodations to the food to the service personnel...all 5 star. We were treated like royalty and truly felt special the entire trip. The dive masters were incredible and we experienced amazing sealife. Our son got certified on ScubaSpa and i can't imagine him being in safer hands. They were thorough and detailed about his training and we never once worried about him diving without us. The chefs served 3 square meals a day that appealed to everyone's palette...so many choices for every meal! The bartenders were so much fun and we loved their crazy and delicious concoctions! The rooms were large and comfortable...the linens were soft. The bathrooms were a bit small...truly tiny showers, but we didn't spend much time in the bathrooms so it didn't really matter. The spa staff was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions with each service we chose. We were very impressed with their skills. When our last day regrettably arrived...we all cried a bit knowing that we had to leave our ScubaSpa family...and truly, they make you feel like family! We are already saving up so we can come back! No need to look any further for a liveaboard...you won't find a better one!

We did have a fantastic time with ScubaSpa. Carol was worried about the boat having too many divers. Well, we lucked out because the week we were on board there were only 11 other passengers. So the dhoni, dive site, and the rest of the boat wasn’t crowded at all. The Manta suite was the biggest room we’ve ever had on a liveaboard. It had a king bed and a big, big window so we had a wonderful view. Food was really very good. Diving wise, the dive masters/guides were excellent. Our guide really spent a lot of time helping Carol with various issues and making her feel comfortable with the currents. Carol loved the massages and the crew was great! Overall, we both thought ScubaSpa was the best liveaboard we’ve been on so far and would highly recommend it and it exceeded our expectations. I thought Jessie at Bluewater did an excellent job of helping me navigate all the trip options, providing helpful insight, providing great lodging/resort recommendations, answering questions/getting information when I needed it, and ensuring our trip went without a hitch. Her suggestion of staying at H78 and Nova Maldives resort were great. My only disappointment was with Nova Maldive’s food they served at the Soul Kitchen (the general place guest ate at). Overall, it was a wonderful trip. Thanks again for all your hard work planning our dive holiday!!
