Best liveaboard yet!
So many amazing dives all in one trip. Food was really good - much better than you expect on a boat! The crew and dive leads took such good care of us and were so helpful, and the dive leads were really funny. Having the dhoni available to dive from made the whole process much easier; you didn’t have to cart your gear around at all. I will definitely dive with them again!

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

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.

Fantastic experience!!
Everything is amazing!! I can’t describe by words, just book and aboard! -Briefing & Diving Detailed briefing, All the info is covered, they repeate few times for important points, I didn’t have to do additional questions. Crew kindly assist you to wear BCD, fins, entry & pull you up for exit each time. Guide is always earnest to find and attract fishes, yet checking group in good timing ( & paid attention and instruct to my buoyancy from time to time, thank you !!) -Creatures Mantas, Whale shark, Many other sharks, Rays, Various fishes all around you! Manta night diving was amazing! -Room & Space Big comfortable clean room, hot shower with good water pressure. Big relaxing space with A/C in Main deck. 2 Juggzie & deck chairs spaces for sunny and shade. Bar space is enough big and comfortable. -Food Delicious! I didn’t get tired for menu. Yummy sweet fruits everytime. I could order baked, scrumbled or omelette egg for breakfast. I like the way they arrange dishes ( spoon & cups ) by cute form each time different way. -Crew Friendly, Cheerful, Supportive, and always smiling! I felt very welcomed. I booked by solo, but never felt lonesome. Thank you so much to everyone on Blue Force One, I would like to come back again, and absolutely recommended.

This is the way to go. The boat is amazing, plenty of space to get some alone time yet totally engaging for the entire group. The diving is simply amazing, trying to describe it is like trying to describe being in love, words don’t do it you have to experience it all! Sharks, mantas, whale sharks, turtles, octopi.... the list goes on and on! Bitches and balls dive crew was lead by Hommie a once In a lifetime dive guide. Honestly there is so much more aside from the diving, the food was perfect. The land excursions totally worth the time and always engaging! The dive briefings made you feel totally informed about what your doing that day! Everything is organized so you get more than your money’s worth! Thanks again to everyone on Blue Force One!!

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.

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.

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.

Great experience in all aspects!
The dive sites were all great and the crew alternated what we saw at each site (switching between seeing manta rays, beautiful color fish/corals, sharks, night dives, etc), so the dives didn’t feel boring or repetitive. The food was also delicious. There were various types of cuisines each day, sometimes western, sometimes south East Asian, sometimes more local, but everything was delicious. The boat and the room were spacious and clean. And the dive guides and the boat crew members were all great people, very friendly and easygoing. Did this trip with 4 other friends and they all enjoyed coming with Blue Force. Will definitely recommend divers to go on a trip with them!
