Yin & Yang

Two liveaboards, where diving, wellness, and the Maldives come together.

Two Sister Yachts, One Shared Spirit

Scubaspa Yin and Yang share a story that began with a simple idea: bringing diving and wellness together in the Maldives. Launched in 2013 and 2014, these identical liveaboards were built around that vision, combining local craftsmanship, contemporary design, and the comfort of an intimate liveaboard experience.

Spread across four spacious decks, Yin and Yang welcomes up to 34 guests in 17 ensuite cabins, with spacious outdoor areas, inviting lounges, an open-air restaurant, and a dedicated spa. While sharing the same design and character, they offer a relaxed atmosphere where attentive hospitality and the beauty of the Maldives are part of everyday life on board.

The Dive Dhoni

All diving activities operate from a dedicated 20-meter dhoni, a traditional Maldivian boat adapted into a fully equipped floating dive center. Compressors, rinse tanks, equipment storage and entry ladders are located on the dhoni.

Keeping dive operations separate allows the main yacht to remain quiet and uncluttered throughout the day. Tanks and equipment stay on board the dive boat, while Nitrox is available for Enriched Air certified divers.
