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!

Amazing Trip
Very well organized trip where each dive spot is unique and chosen such that there are no other boats. We did a night dive with nurse sharks and mantas, the marine life was beautiful and the corals intact. The food is definitely a highlight as well as the super friendly staff who really tries to give their best to make this a unique experience. This live aboard tops my previously done trips.

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 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!

Overall great trip. This was my 11th live aboard and simply a fantastic adventure. Excellent diving, wonderful crew, delicious and plentiful food, comfortable cabins (I had one of the less expensive below deck cabins and it was fine), great dory to dive from (lots of space easy entry and return boarding), fun little island BBQ, beautiful ship, well organized airport pick up and drop off. -

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.

The best way to enjoy the Maldives
Second time on Blue Force One, we found the experience again surpassed expectations. The southern route offered some challenging dives -- which were well-managed with safety in mind -- and what amazing sea life we discovered! Out of the water, the service and food were as great as the last time we remembered.

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.

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.

I don’t know how we will be able to beat this liveaboard for our next trip
Highlight for us was diving with mantra rays, lots of sharks, and seeing sail fish. On our first night we had a whale shark come up to the boat. We did an afternoon trip to a private island with a BBQ and water sports - we thoroughly enjoyed this. David’s dry humour made the briefings an absolute hoot. And to top it all off, Nigel compiled a video of the week with all of the highlights. It was great to have this included in the price rather than a freelancer trying to sell this at the end of the trip. Fantastic boat, we’re going to struggle to top this one for our next trip!
