Come as a stranger, go home as a friend!
We would like to thank you very much for the great experience. You come as a stranger and really leave as a friend! We particularly liked the family atmosphere on board – we felt appreciated and warmly welcomed throughout. The boat was clean and in very good condition. The food was also tasty, varied and completely sufficient. Individual requests were responded to at any time without any problems. A personal highlight was my birthday cake – it was just fantastic! A small point for optimization concerns the room layout: Some cabins are located directly at the restaurant area. In addition, there are no showers on the wet deck (there is only one toilet), so you have to go to your own cabin to shower after diving through the restaurant. Thank you very much for the wonderful time and the excellent hospitality!

Long live the South!
The crew is attentive, the boat is very well maintained and the rooms on the upper deck are comfortable. The groups are large in number: 2 guides only on board for a boat that can accommodate up to 22 people. They are attentive to the respect of underwater life. We discovered beautiful sites and amazing caves and canyons.

Alles was perfect!
What a great trip with Blue Storm! Everything was right! The boat is beautiful, clean and fully equipped. The staff is friendly and helpful and the dive guides are extremely experienced. The food was insanely tasty every time and always a lot of choice. I myself am vegetarian and a vegetarian dish was prepared especially for me every time. And during every meal, the service was fantastic! 1x we even had a nice bbq dinner on the deck. The crew had beautifully decorated the deck, set the tables beautifully and again insanely good food. The Blue Storm team had made a nice planning for the trip and always communicated clearly about it. Dive briefings, for example, always started on time and with sufficient surface interval during the dives. As for diving; We went at the beginning of March, be sure to bring a 5mm wetsuit ;) We haven't seen a lot of 'big stuff', it seems to be too cold for that at this time of year. Nevertheless, we made many beautiful dives. The coral reefs are beautiful, versatile and extremely colorful. And the caves in St Johns are very nice! Next time we will definitely go with Blue Planet again! Thank you all!

Wonderful trip, very good ship, wooden floors
very good and soft beds good to sleep, space between beds in lower deck cabin a little narrow but totally sufficient, silent, good interior cabin quality 90% perfect, more dry fresh air ventilation from outside to cabin would be good, temperature setting for shower on dive deck sometimes a little difficult to contol, nice and rich cruise ship architecture with balconies, crew handling with zodiac entry and exit perfect, a lot of high quality sitting space all around the ship available, sunshade and wind protected areas available, very silent engines and generators, good nitrox and 220bar, good spirit in the ship, save stairs, perfect clean and good sanitary rooms, stabile drive through the waves, a romantic trip to the shore of an island, nice daedalus lighthouse trip, late away from harbour- and sadly early return, only 1 nightdive, great crew and ship, good food and relax holiday

Great trip aboard the Blue Storm!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this liveaboard. It met our expectations and the staff were very accommodating and met all our needs. The lead dive guide was very informative and friendly. We had 4 snorkelers on board and they changed the itinerary a bit to bring us to some dive sites that were snorkeler friendly. The diving in the Red Sea was OK....glad we did it, but we wouldn't go back as there are other areas that have lots more to see.

Great trip on Blue Storm!
Just got back from an amazing liveaboard trip. The service and friendliness of the crew were incredible. A special thanks to the Salon team (Bahaa and Abu Omar) for their smiles and attentiveness. The seamen were incredible at handling the Zodiacs in rough seas and supporting us during diving operations, both when getting ready and when returning from a dive. The dive guides were knowledgeable and handled briefings and dives professionally. The boat, Blue Storm, offered all the comforts needed and the daily activities were meticulously organized. Although the food in general was great, I have some recommendations regarding guests with dietary restrictions. It would be excellent if the staff were more familiar with the vegan diet and could offer a wider variety of plant-based proteins during meals. Also, unfortunately, we experienced some members of our group damaging the corals on multiple occasions, even breaking big chunks with their fins. The dive guides did mention paying more attention during briefings after the incidents were reported. I would recommend insisting much more strongly on this point during the initial briefings to prevent this kind of damage from happening in the first place. Highly recommended!

The boat travels great distances to allow us to meet hammerhead sharks and longimanu sharks. We also encountered a silky shark. The safety instructions and briefings are very well conducted.

Very lovely trip!
I had a wonderful time. Tarik and Hasan as dive guides were excellent. They stressed safety while in the water and I appreciated this. Good safety briefing about the ship at the beginning of the trip. The crew on board was amazing. Helpful and kind. Food was excellent. Boat was very clean and well cared for and the common spaces were comfortable. I had a cabin below deck at the back of the ship (cabin 2) and would not recommend it. The cabins on the main deck and above were much better ventilated and I’ll opt for this next time.

All-round successful safari tour with addictive potential
Classic Trip Brothers, Daedalus Reef, Elphinstone. Dive planning was optimally adapted to wind, weather and current conditions. Always good choice of drop-off points in case of current - stress-free diving the entire time. Who dive, eat, relax .... also gets t,e,r! Minor problems (defect computer of my buddie) were mastered confidently. For any unexpected difficulties, the groups should be a little smaller. 10 divers per guide may be too much.All in all (I'm a repeater) as expected, once again fully met to exceeded expectations, i.e. gladly again........

very experienced guide (Hassan) with overview! Groups may be too large in case of difficulties 2 G on 20 T - 10 divers! 1 more guide! Hassan has compensated well for this with experience. absolutely helpful group on board, from the helpers before and after the dive, in the kitchen with requests, service team inside. All friendly with smiling faces. Outstanding information about everything / briefing not only before diving..

Best liveaboard I’ve been on.
The highlights of our trip are all about the crew. I have been on liveaboard dive boats in South America, Indonesia, south east Asia, and the Caribbean and I have never experienced service like I did on blue storm. From help donning your wetsuits and your fins to over the top food with beautiful presentation. The guides were professional, experienced, and shared in the enthusiasm of their clients. The boat was perfect in every way. With all the liveaboard choices out there my wife and I were so happy we picked Blue Storm.

Very modern boat but difficult conditions in April.
In mid April the conditions are a bit challenging. Strong winds forced us to stay in port for the first full day, missing dives. The diving in the caves at St John‘s and other places was fun. Elphinstone disappointed, but we could only do the walls due to current. Need to come back later in the year. Cabins and service were very good. The dives in general were very good, but the conditions a bit challenging.
