Maldives Scuba & Spa All-Lesbian Adventure Cruise 2025
March 08 15, 2025
ScubaSpa Maldives Yin
Join us on first-ever Maldives all-lesbian scuba diving charter featuring world-class diving and blissful spa treatments! Join us as we discover the magic of the Maldives! We will spend 7 days sailing the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean aboard a 34-passenger luxury yacht, the perfect liveaboard for those traveling with partners who are not divers themselves. While one traveler dives into bountiful waters, their companion can rejuvenate in the spa facilities, soak up the sun on a pristine beach, explore snorkeling and various watersports, and enjoy one of the daily yoga sessions. Later you can rendezvous for a sunset cocktail, moonlit dinner on a secluded island, or movie night under the stars at the top deck theater.
This yacht was the first in the Maldives to earn the award of a PADI 5-Star Resort. All dive experience levels are welcome, with expert instructors offering introductory to advanced courses. The yacht is accompanied by its own dive boat which serves as a floating dive center. Divers and snorkelers will be thrilled by superb visibility, vibrant corals, and marine life encounters.
Designed for divers and non-divers alike, our trip will take us to spectacular locations that truly highlight the magic of the Maldives. Wherever our adventure takes us, there are plenty of immaculate beaches, snorkel and dive sites waiting to be discovered. We may encounter a variety of marine life, including nudibranchs, eels, reef fish, rays, sharks, and turtles. Types of dives include channel, drift, pinnacle and wall, wreck, and world-famous night dives.

Designed to impress, this floating spa is an award-winning PADI 5-Star Dive Resort and the first in the Maldives to earn this award. Four decks offer sleek accommodations and contain the largest Asian-style spa of its kind in the Maldives, featuring four treatment rooms, a private open-air meditation/massage space, and a shaded lounge. The spa offers Asian therapies, couples' treatments, and holistic sessions.
Non-diving activities include beach parties, kayaking, standup paddle boarding, traditional Maldivian-style fishing, fitness areas, an outdoor jacuzzi and more. A fully equipped, 65-foot dive boat (also called a dhoni) accompanies the vessel. The dhoni carries all the required equipment, from dive gear to air compressors (including Nitrox), and is designed for ultimate comfort with plentiful seating, multiple entry points, a stern platform, sundeck, and onboard bathroom facilities.
While the main yacht anchors in an ideal spot for guests to enjoy the spa and/or beach, the dhoni is free to move to the best dive locations for that day, ensuring that the floating hotel remains undisturbed.
