Due to inconsistent currents, the usual big fish and manta rays were few and far between. Crew was great

The boat is great, the food was excellent, the dive sites everything you could wish for.
Unfortunately, the dive guides were a bit lackluster, demotivated and, more importantly, negligent.

Great value for money, for us it was the perfect first liveaboard.
One star deduction for the cabins, because our main deck cabin was smaller than the cheaper lower deck cabins and the rooms were generally a bit worn (but absolutely clean!!!).
with the dive guides one star deduction, because first of all the groups with 7 people were big, because when jumping into the water from our point of view sometimes unnecessary hecticness was brought in and because one of the guides did not respond at all to the wishes of his group (our guide was great and has always kept a lookout for interesting small stuff in the absence of the big fish. but all 3 were very nice, friendly and had fun ;-)

Service and boat crew excellent. Poor dive planning by the dive guides. Dives were carried out despite bad current conditions. A more flexible planning of the dive sites would have been desirable.

The boat is built super spacious. The cabins have real showers. The beds and the space in the cabins are great. Everything is kept in dark wood, with really great maritime charm. The food is super super good and varied. Man eats in the back area always outside, which fits the Maldives flair. The crew is very attentive, everyone is very friendly and in a good mood. We could divide the "only" 15 divers on three dive guides, which was really good. We have seen there other "horror groups" underwater, which were 18-22 with one guide completely chaos (Ari-Queen). We did a shore barbecue, which was very nicely organized and had a successful dive spot selection overall, with whale sharks, mataraches and lots of schooling fish. The only thing that is complaining on a high level though: the guides could show more underwater. Also sometimes small stuff or stationary stories. But there the tastes are also different.
The space for cameras and charging points is relatively small, but this was not a problem at all with our dive group, because many Go-Pros were used. The briefing is very detailed and you can use as an experienced diver with his buddy the full 60 min/50 bar as you want!
Overall, we left with very very nice experiences from board.

We had a great week on the Carpe Diem. We had booked the biggest cabin and it was big, almost like a normal hotel room. But the best thing, besides the dive guides, was the food on board. What the kitchen team conjured up every day was impressive.
The ship is in very good condition.
We were 19 divers on board and had 4 guides. Diving was from the dhoni. Which is very convenient, so there is more space on the ship. The dive platform at the back of the dhoni could be a little wider, but it all ran very organized. The crew is extremely attentive.
The dive spots were well chosen and the guides were responsive to personal wishes. Here Allatey is to be emphasized. He helped bersonders if it went into the Strömhmung or took consideration with macro shots.
Unfortunately, the monsoon change was not yet through, therefore was partly quite poor visibility. Nevertheless, the crew found sports where sharks or manta rays have romped. Unfortunately there were no whale sharks, maybe because of the visibility.
It was a great week on a very good ship, with a great crew. Thank you.

The boat is unfortunately somewhat in the years.
Air conditioning in lower deck cabin was unfortunately only limited functionality.

The kitchen could still be optimized, there was mostly frozen fish and little variety in taste.
The windows of all cabins can not be opened, so you always have to live with the air conditioning.

Absolutely wonderful - even in these times or even especially now, it is important to dive and leave the world behind for a few days - great ship, perfect crew, great dive sites without masses of people
