Up to 20 guests can be accommodated in en-suite cabins ranging from Standard to Master in a broad range of prices and all containing at least 1 double bed, and several have personal TV and DVD players. There is an air-conditioned lounge with TV, DVD and music system and a bar for those 'apres dive' sundowners. Guests mostly prefer to dine in the open air dining area on the upper deck, eating indoors in the dedicated dining room only in inclement weather.
Big windows are a feature of the boat so there is always plenty of natural light, especially in the saloon and in the higher standard cabins. There are also plenty of shaded outdoor areas for those who prefer the sea breezes but not the exposure to the sun. The sun deck itself is huge and, with shade and seating, is a social area doubling up as a salsa dancefloor at times. Diving takes place from the dhoni which has 3 points of entry and egress, helping the dive groups to avoid landing on top of each other.
With a less intensive 3 dives per day itinerary, MV Carpe Diem is a sleek and attractive boat which promises more relaxing trips around some of the Maldives best dive sites in comfort. If this is your style then maybe you should seize the day and make your dream diving trip happen!
