Carpe Novo offers diving with three and sometimes up to four dives a day in the Maldives. On board you have four dive guides on board with the aim of showing you the best of the Maldives. The guides are all Maldivian and have many years of experience in the dive sites. They usually know exactly how the strong currents behave and should be handled.

Since all diving takes place from a dhoni (Maldivian dive boat) in the Maldives, there is plenty of space on board Carpe Novo. The Dhonin simplifies diving as it is easier to get close to the reefs with the smaller boat. In addition, all diving equipment stays on the dhonin, which makes life on the ship relaxing and quiet as the compressors are on the dive boat. The staff takes care of your equipment and rinses off the salt water at the end of each day. You will experience that diving has rarely been so comfortable.
