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!

Loved it!!!
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.

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!

Seven days on Blue Force One, and I’m ruined for all other holidays
Seven days on Blue Force One, and I'm ruined for normal holidays I just finished a week aboard Blue Force One in the Maldives (1–8 August) and I'm writing this partly as a review and partly as a thank-you note, because this crew deserves both. The diving: honestly ridiculous. Grey reef sharks and white tips by the dozen, nurse sharks piling up like puppies, eagle rays cruising past like they owned the place, mantas doing their slow-motion flights at the cleaning stations, plus turtles, napoleon wrasse, tuna, barracuda, and enough moray eels to fill a horror film. If it swims, crawls or floats in the Maldives, we probably saw it. Dive guides Sadhu and Humaid were the stars underwater. They read the currents like a newspaper, put us in exactly the right spot every single time, and did it all with the calm of people who have clearly done this a thousand times and still love it. Somehow they always knew where the sharks would be before the sharks did. Our hosts Gabriel and Maria ran the show beautifully, and the briefings were a highlight in themselves. What stood out for me was Gabriel's knowledge of marine life and environmental protection, and his genuine eagerness to educate us divers. I came for the sharks and accidentally left knowing far more about the ocean than when I arrived. Back on board, Chef Sampath fed us so well I gained weight on a trip where I did three dives a day, which I consider a professional achievement on his part. Dinuka and Sena from the hospitality team had hot chocolate, juices, coffee and smiles waiting after every dive, and knew everyone's preferences by day two. The dhoni staff deserve their own medal, every day, with a smile, they made sure we forgot nothing and did almost nothing ourselves, which, frankly, also contributed to the weight gain. The boat itself is spacious and genuinely comfortable, the kind of place where falling asleep to the engine hum feels like a luxury. The clearest review I can give: I've already booked my next trip on the same boat a few months from now, this time to the Deep South. Solo traveller, felt completely at home, counting the days. Five stars, would surface-interval again.

- The dive guiding, Sadhu and Humaid putting you on the sharks every single time. Gabriel’s briefings, marine life knowledge and environmental education that elevated the whole trip. The pampering, Chef Sampath’s food plus Dinuka, Sena and the dhoni crew doing everything but breathing for yo.

Next level liveaboard experience!
We had an amazing trip on the Blue Force One. Diving in the Maldives is genuinely amazing and we saw everything from whale sharks, turtles, manta rays to mantis shrimps and octopi as well as a lot of different fish. The night dives with the manta rays and nurse sharks were magical! The dive guides were great: both under and above water and they never failed to show us amazing things. And as a bonus; they managed to add in a 19th dive to our itinerary! The boat was very comfortable, rooms were big, clean and the hot shower (and jacuzzi!) felt like a real luxury after a long day of diving! The staff was incredibly friendly and they made the experience even more wonderful. They made us feel welcome and right at home! Food was great - with the freshly prepared eggs at breakfast being a personal highlight! All in all, we would wholeheartedly recommend the Blue Force One in the Maldives!

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!!
