Since 2013

Your floating resort in the Maldives.

Scubaspa was started by a diver and his physiotherapist wife after a Maldives honeymoon. That is why the spa carries the same billing as the diving, and why the two sit side by side on every itinerary rather than competing for your week.

Yin launched in 2013, Yang a year later. Both are purpose-built, 50 m, four decks, and each runs its own dive dhoni so the boat you sleep on is never the boat you kit up on.

Diving

The only liveaboards in the Maldives with PADI 5 Star status.

Each yacht keeps a separate 20 m dhoni with its own compressors, kit store and crew. You are briefed, kitted and back in the water without the yacht ever being a dive platform — and the spa deck stays quiet while you are gone.

Small guided groups, all certification levels
Courses run on board through the week
Manta and whale shark seasons on request
Diving on board
A hot stone treatment in the spa room, teak panelling and daylight through the shutters

Spa

The half of the week that is not underwater.

Therapists sail with the yacht for the whole cruise, so treatments are booked around the day you are actually having — after the second dive, before the sun goes, on a crossing. The spa deck is a deck, not a room borrowed from something else.

Treatment rooms, sundeck jacuzzi and yoga space
Ayurvedic, Balinese and hot stone therapies
Treatments timed around the dive schedule

Sightings logged with the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme.
