Exceptional comfort with experienced crew
This was our first liveaboard experience and it set an extremely high bar for future liveaboards! The deluxe cabin was spacious, comfortable, and clean, as were all the common areas of the boat. We were really impressed by the food - the chefs go above and beyond to provide a wide range of amazing food. We feel lucky to have gotten to dive with Yaqui, who is extremely experienced and passionate about diving but also fun! Same with all the crew - we always felt safe and comfortable, felt that they planned the best route and dives, and we learned a lot while having a lot of fun. We rented all of our gear and it was in excellent condition. Overall, we had a great time and all future liveaboards will have a lot to live up to!

Just returned from an amazing week onboard Blue Force One, top instructors, luxury boat, knowledgeable crew and made some amazing memories.
Tiger shark dive was unforgettable. Diving with the Eagle rays. Whale shark visit at back of boat. Seeing familiar staff on boat and feeling welcome. Celebrating my 100th dive and BF1 made sure I had cake and t shirt. Food was always varied and very good. Lounge area comfy and inviting. Rooms kept clean and beds made well. Staff from room clean level thro to instructors were professional at all times. Second trip and ready for more, thank you 😊

A terrific combination of diving and liveaboard accommodations.
The Blue Force is an excellent boat. It comes with luxury, ample space, nice comfortable cabins, and excellent food. The boat was clean and things were tidy. The diving was very impressive with a well communicated daily dive schedule complete with an in depth briefing. There were plenty of dive masters so that divers could split up into smaller groups. The crew was amazing. They were very helpful and always maintained a professional attitude. This is definitely a do over!

Exceptional trip, will be hard to beat this experience.
The trip from start to finish has been amazing. The crew and the boat are next level, an abundance of knowledge and experience made for a trip we’ll never forget. My highlights were the whale sharks feeding from the stern of the boat two nights, diving with tiger sharks, manta rays and eagle rays. Each dive offered something different and the dhoni is very spacious and not rushed to get ready. The beach BBQ was really special, the chef and his team provided variety and quality each and every day, it was delicious. Our room was amazing, lots of room and the bed was more comfortable than my own bed. I couldn’t recommend this liveaboard enough, I’d love to go back. My only regret was I didn’t book for 2 weeks!

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.

Blue Force One - A diving experience that will be impossible to beat! Stunning boat, amazing staff, incredible experienve
Blue Force One gave us the most incredible Liveaboard diving experience. Gabriel was really thorough in all his dive briefings with not only safety and what to expect but his knowledge of the marine life, diving locations and Maldive history and culture was really impressive. Every effort was made to ensure flexibility so that we were diving in the right places at the right times. There is no way we will ever trump this diving experience. Bokarty was the best guide - what a great sense of humour he had! And then there was the amazing food! I cannot fault anything on the Blue Force One! We spent a week of fabulous diving in absolute comfort.

A must do!
I’ve done the south part of Maldives prior, so I took this trip to explore the central atolls. The dives were great, not much current - compared to the south, but plenty of life. We saw lots of sharks, mantas, schools of fish and even a whale shark. Gabriel and Maria were exceptional running the trip as well as guiding us underwater. They are kind, friendly, patient and above all, great people. The boat is beautiful and kept immaculate. The crew was always ready to help and there wasn’t a moment when they far to take care of us. The Chef did a fantastic job with our meals, plenty of choices to satisfy everyone’s needs and likes. We had a BBQ on a deserted island and also the opportunity to visit a populated one, as well as a trip to the capital. Exceptional value and plenty of great memories. A must do on your diving bucket list.

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

Wonderful stay
Most of the guests are from Europe, but we had a great time with them and friendly staff. The most remarkable thing is food. They served balanced meal each time such as lots of fresh vegetable, seafood and meat, which had good taste for even Asians. Besides, the room was clean and comfotable with a window and spacious shower room, so we spent the whole week relaxing in the room without sea sickness. The total 17dives were given and each dive gave us precious opportunity to encounter specific creatures we haven’t seen before like a whale shark, manta rays and nurse sharks. I highly recommend to join this tour and believe it’s worth spending your holiday.

The highlights were the Whale Sharks and the Tiger Sharks.We saw one oceanic manta ray as well as a few reef Manta Rays and Eagle Rays. All the staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy and looked after. The food was varied and tasty with plenty of it. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I left a couple of items in my room after disembarkation. We had extended our holiday on a nearby island and my items were returned to me. I really didn't expect to get them back. The dive guides were passionate about the environment and made sure everyone followed the rules of not touching or getting too close.

Good times with mantas
The dive guides really know the sites. Fish head (dive site) was absolutely stunning. Hooked on with a reef hook and stayed there for 40 minutes just watching the sharks, turtles and enormous schools of fish swim by. The mantas didn't show up on the night dive so the next day the crew did a special trip to take us snorkeling with mantas. Up close and personal with 5 mantas, that was very special. Great effort on the team to have breakfast, lunch and dinner served on time. On Friday the staff organized a local official to come on board and do Covid tests for people who needed a PCR test for flying back. Very well organized. I've done various liveaboards, but this is by far the most spacious boat I have every stayed on. The normal cabins have huge walk-in showers and there is plenty of space on the boat for everyone. Some minor things that could be improved: - have a longer rope on the dhoni so divers can hang on without being crammed onto to each other when coming up. - change the pictures, there is only one jacuzzi, not two.

This was a really great trip. Crew was totally competent, well-organized, kind and keen to serve. Dive crew, both above and below water, were very on top of our safety. Diving was spectacular. Food was far superior to what we usually get while diving: lots of fresh vegetables. We enjoyed seeing rays and sharks as well as beautiful smaller fish. Activities were well-organized.
