Besides the fact that Scubaspa Yang visits some of the best dive sites within the Maldives, another reason it’s so satisfying to dive with this liveaboard is the staff.
They have a truly impressive knowledge of the local marine life and are extremely friendly, enthusiastic and competent at keeping everyone safe during dives.
Extra Activities include daily yoga classes, starlit beach bbq’s, movie nights, snorkelling, kayaking and stand up paddle-boarding.
Onboard amenities include the jacuzzi, gym, two huge sundecks with loungers, the spa, bar, yoga zone, free WiFi and an observation deck.
There is an awesome range of cuisine to be enjoyed, with dinner themes such as mexican, italian or asian.
The beautifully furbished cabins all feature double / twin options, ensuite bathrooms and aircon.
Now, if I was forced to find one imperfection with ScubaSpa Yang it would be that none of it’s cabins feature private balconies (for cabins w. private balconies check out Adora).
However, in every other way, these cabins are a pleasure to stay in and they all offer excellent views. The insane list of amenities and extra activities that ScubaSpa Yang has, easily make up for it’s lack of private balconies.
As for the dive trips themselves, the “Best of Maldives” is a great way to explore the popular central atolls, including for those with less diving experience. Expect lots of shark and ray action!
The “Deep South” trip is an awesome chance for off the beaten track dive sites, but doesn’t run that often. You can find other liveaboards that explore the southern region in the “routes & regions” section of our main Maldives liveaboards page.
The most surprising thing about Scubaspa Yang is that despite the luxury feel; she is very affordable – this is only a mid-priced Maldives liveaboard! (See Budget Maldives liveaboards for the cheapest options).
In my opinion, if you’re looking to explore the central atolls and you want to have an affordable, well rounded trip with plenty of extra experiences, Scubaspa Yang is the best Maldives liveaboard you could possibly go for.
