Carpe Novo, Maldives
Cruise-Liveaboard
The Carpe Novo is the largest yacht of the Carpe Diem fleet offering year-round diving in the Maldives.
Itineraries on Carpe Novo cover some of the Maldives’ best dive sites. The classical routes are 7-10 nights long and explore the Male, Ari, Vaavu and Rasdhoo atolls to name a few. The Deep South trips are for more experienced divers who will be rewarded with hammerhead encounters and thrilling channel diving. Diving takes place from the dedicated dive dhoni (boat) which is fully equipped to give divers all the space they need for kitting up, gear storage, and rinsing. There is also a dedicated camera room with charging ports and a dry area for changing batteries and memory cards, so you don’t miss out on the action.
