Would (and plan to) go diving with Blue Force again!
Diving with Blue Force was an amazing experience and I couldn’t recommend it more! I signed up as a solo diver and the Blue Force crew created such a welcoming and fun environment that while the diving was incredible, the time spent on the boat was also fun!

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!

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!

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.

Absolutely loved it, start to finish.
I had the most wonderful tim from start to finish, the sea life was absolutely amazing and they made sure we got to see what we really wanted to. The knowledge, skill and safety of the guides was impeccable m, I couldn’t have asked for more. The boat was super clean and well kept at all times and they were organised fantastically every single da, without failure. My only negative is that it was quite expensive, I understand the quality is very highly, but the amount of taxes that you pay equates to a lot and then I feel like soft drinks should just be included on the boat as the price is very high. Also, paying extra fr Nitrox when it is compulsory seems unfair. But overall I’m very happy with my experience and thoroughly enjoyed blue force one.

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 experience on the Blue Force was one of the best in my life
I would like to recommend the Blue Force One to all divers searching for the new adventures and challenges, as of course to the non divers too, since you can do a lot of things as snorkeling, kayaking or just enjoy and relax in jacuzzi. The experience that you live during the stay on the boat, is definitely unforgettable. The dive guides are very professional, so you can enjoy in every single moment and feel very safe in the same time. All the crew is friendly, that gives you the comfortable feeling all the time. The activities apart of diving are cool, so you can enjoy in every single moment. I will definitely return back on the Blue Force One to live again the new experiences and the new challenges.

One of the best thing is definitely the professionaluty of the crew, the knowledge about thive and the safety.The boat has more then enough space for the group of 20 people, so you can feel always confortable. The program during the stay is perfect !

My first live-aboard, felt totally safe, comfortable, well fed and happy 😆
Every day was a different day, led by knowledgeable instructors & boat crew making sure all divers were given the best chance of unforgettable experiences and all carried out on a superb comfortable boat with a supportive Dhoni. Looking into my next trip with this company who know how to offer each diver friendliness, safeness, tuition if required, and all the ‘trimmings’ of being part of an amazing live aboard offering fabulous ‘boat life’ with style and a touch of luxury .. will definitely return asap 😁

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!

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.

This was our first time to the Maldives and the team at Blue Force One were fantastic. From the food which was just lovely, the team nicknamed me Mrs Curry because the freshley made curries each day were amazing and I loved them! The dive and boat deck team were just so friendly, so helpful and they just appeared magically just when you needed them. The cabins were very spacious and comfortable, and we just thoroughly enjoyed our time - thank you to the team!
