Scubaspa Maldives

Not all dive trips are created equal. At Scubaspa, they believe the journey should feel as good as the destination looks. Floating through the Maldives on one of their award-winning liveaboards, divers, snorkelers and ocean lovers get more than just great dives—they get time to breathe, move, rest, eat well and reconnect.

Imagine waking up to the Indian Ocean glowing outside your window, yoga on the upper deck as the sun rises and the smell of coffee—and the sea—filling the air. This is a day onboard Scubaspa.

Their twin yachts, Yin and Yang, were designed to bring together the best of two worlds: a boutique floating hotel and a professional dive base. Stepping on board feels less like check-in and more like settling in—with a team that’s as warm as the atmosphere around you.

Days on board follow a rhythm that feels just right. Dive early, grab a fresh juice, nap in the sun. Or skip a dive and head to the spa. Or paddle around a sandbank. Or do nothing at all. Meals are full of flavor and conversation. Evenings are quiet—or not—depending on whom you’re talking to at the bar.

Their crew goes above and beyond in the most natural way—whether it’s remembering your favorite drink or noticing when you might need a quiet moment. This isn’t just service—it’s being looked after.

The Maldives is one of those top places where diving really does live up to the hype. Visibility that stretches on and on. Coral gardens buzzing with life. Cleaning stations that feel like underwater theaters. And of course—those encounters. Whale sharks cruising past. Manta rays twirling overhead. A flicker of silvertips or a tiger shark just beyond the channel.

The beauty of the Maldives is that it’s not a one-hit wonder—it’s consistency. Dive after dive, site after site, it keeps delivering. And with multiple itineraries—from the vibrant central atolls to the sharky, channel-heavy Deep South or the manta-rich Far North—Scubaspa makes sure your week is full of variety and magic.

Whether you're diving three times a day or mixing it up with spa and snorkel sessions, it’s not just about what you see underwater—it’s how the whole experience feels.

And if one week floating through the Maldives isn’t enough (we get it), their sister vessel, Zen, explores the heart of the Coral Triangle—home to the richest marine biodiversity on the planet. Think dramatic drop-offs, vibrant reefs, big fish and small critters encounters in the best areas of Indonesia.

And stay tuned—another destination is on the horizon. More reefs to explore. More sharks to encounter. More sunsets to watch. More excuses to say, “I’m doing this for me!”

Experience luxurious peace and tranquility.

Scubaspa: Where Ocean Meets Wellness

Onboard, there’s also:

✔ Daily yoga (sunrise + occasional sunset)

✔ Water sports (kayak, paddleboard, snorkeling)

✔ Jacuzzi, gym, bar, and lounge

✔ Silent deck for those mid-trip moments of pause
