Divers and snorkellers can enjoy fantastic underwater experiences and marine encounters of the central atolls throughout the year on board the Carpe Diem, a comfortable liveaboard with a highly experienced dive crew.
This 35 metre wooden hulled liveaboard has been cruising the central atolls of the Maldives since 2008. She accommodates up to 20 passengers in ten cabins, spread across three decks. The spacious suite and deluxe cabin are found on the upper deck furnished with a double bed and TV offering fantastic ocean views. Two double cabins are located on the main deck, also featuring a TV and a great ocean view. The lower deck is home to six standard cabins, four of which feature a double bed and bunk, two of which have twin beds; all have a porthole window. All cabins are air-conditioned and have an en-suite shower/bathroom.
On board facilities include a comfortable lounge on the main deck (where the dive briefings occur), an open air dining and bar area at the rear of the upper deck and a partially shaded sun deck at the top of the boat. The majority of the dedicated crew have been working on the boat since its launch, including the local team of three to help with all your diving requirements. The electricity is 220V and plug sockets on board are 3-pin UK style.
The Carpe Diem offers seven and ten night itineraries throughout the year, predominantly to the central atolls, departing Malé on a Saturday. Getting to the boat may include a domestic flight. Up to three dives a day are offered on each itinerary from the custom built dhoni which is accompanied by a smaller dingy for snorkelling excursions. Nitrox is complimentary for certified divers.
