This was my best diving experience! All dives were very different and amazing. We could see a lot of Manta and a huge whale shark. The staffs care about safety and paying more attentions to inexperienced divers. My partner was vegetarian but the food was very vegetarian friendly. Thank you so much for the amazing experience.

The dive trip of a lifetime
The staff on board are warm and friendly; Before diving into the island, marine life, dive sites and environmental ecology will be provided to have a further understanding of marine life; The underwater world is an unprecedented diving experience, dancing with manta, cruising with sharks, competing with nurse sharks for a place, and the fascinating underwater creatures attract me to visit again. The delicious meals provided by the chef on board will satisfy the energy replenishment after diving; and divers from all over the world gave full help and warmth; I was surprised that I was not only satisfied with eating, living, playing, and resting, but also met many good divers, which was an unforgettable memory for a lifetime

A phenomenal time with a great crew on a very nice boat
Where to begin? The manta rays, the whale shark, the large number of nurse sharks on the night dive, or the drift dive with dozens of different sharks; otherwise it would be the fantastic food and great crew. The dive guides were all top notch and I'd love to dive with them again.

Top-notch liveaboard experience
I had a fantastic trip aboard Blue Force One. Special kudos goes out to the cruise director and crew for fostering a really positive and energetic vibe the whole week. Everyone involved put in the work to make our onboard experience and dives very special. Ecology lessons throughout the week were an added bonus, teaching everyone how to dive safely and respectfully with the many sharks and rays we encountered throughout the trip. The ship itself is extremely comfortable and luxurious and the chefs and servers do a terrific job of keeping us fed with plenty of healthy and delicious food.

The best liveaboard we have been on, and the diving was fantastic too!
We had a fantastic week on Blue Force One visiting the amazing Hanifaru Bay. This has been the best liveaboard experience we have had (and we’ve been diving for over 25 years including this being our third trip to the Maldives). In particular Mariano, the dive director, gave interesting, informative, and humorous dive briefings and honestly made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Bounty, our dive guide, is great at finding interesting critters and telling us more about animal behaviour. The dhoni crew are endlessly helpful, with great attention to detail, and the boat crew kept us very well fed and watered!

Great itinerary, well executed by a talented, welcoming crew complemented by great critter sighting and tasty food!
We felt very safe with our dive guide and the crew. Diving off of the Dhouni was best experience to date diving off of a boat. Roomy, well appointed, nice that equipment stayed on Dhouni. Efforts to dive specific, busy sites at the least busy times were much appreciated. Dive briefings were detailed and entertaining. Also, enjoyed learning a bit of history along the way. Best food yet on a live aboard. Loved coming away with a wonderful video capturing highlights from the week.

In short: endless emotions, a perfect team, great humor, amazing food, excellent coffee, and the feeling that you are in truly reliable hands. We want more. Very much.
This was not just a dive safari, it was a true celebration of life with fins on. The Maldives look like a postcard, the ocean is pure magic, and the crew is an absolute dream. Yaqui is a real one-man orchestra with no days off: cruise director, strategist, motivator, and the person in charge of good vibes. It truly feels like he can even negotiate with the currents — with him, you could sail to the edge of the world. The dhoni crew — Baabu and Harum— you are amazing! Always there, always helping, supporting, and making diving feel easy and joyful. Huge thanks as well to our dive guides, Thiti and Iyan — professional, attentive, calm, and always making sure every dive was safe, fun, and unforgettable. The food on board was out-of-this-world! Every meal was a feast: fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. From local seafood delights to international dishes, it felt like dining at a gourmet restaurant every day. And morning coffee from a real coffee machine in the middle of the ocean! Pure happiness! The cherry on top — complimentary Wi-Fi! So yes, you can send photos, brag a little, and tell everyone: “Yes, we’re in the Maldives.” A very special and heartfelt thank you to Margaux, who conducted the diving course for our daughter. Margaux has an incredible gift for teaching — with patience, warmth, and complete calm. She didn’t just teach diving skills, she opened a whole underwater world for our child. Our daughter now knows so much about marine life, can easily tell who is who under the water, and is absolutely in love with the ocean. As a result, our daughter is absolutely thrilled, the parents are relaxed, and we now officially have one more diver in the family. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes — from keeping the boat running smoothly, organizing dives, keeping equipment ready, to making sure our safety and comfort were always priority.

Wow what can I say! The best week ever
This was my first liveaboard and I think the bar has been set very high. Blue Force One is a magnificent boat with great facilities and lots of space. The cabins are all different and you can choose the level of luxury you want. The public spaces are big and comfortable and there are lots of different places to hang out. The crew and dive guides are without exception absolutely wonderful with brilliant senses of humour that made the trip so memorable. The diving is out of this world. We saw a whale shark, loads of mantas, 3 different types of shark, mating octopuses, billions of fish and healthy coral, stingrays and dolphins. The food on board is fantastic and more than enough to fuel you for the diving. They serve a wide range of alcohol which isn’t the cheapest but it doesn’t matter when the rest of the trip is such good value. Overall it was an unbelievable experience and one I will never forget.

Don't hesitate, book it!
For our first liveaboard, we were very impressed with how delicious and plentiful the food was. The boat was clean and obviously well cared for. The amount of space on the boat was insane- we had a full boat on our trip yet there was enough room for everyone to spread out. The bedroom and ensuite also had a lot of space and a good amount of storage. The diving was incredible, we saw a lot of new critters big and small. But, the thing that really made this trip exceptional was the staff. All staff members seemed so happy to be there, friendly, and willing to talk/hangout for hours. They did a great job as a guide- pointing out sea life and make sure everyone was safe and having a great dive. We will 100% be coming back to the Maldives on Blue Force One again.
