Fantastic liveaboard !!!
The yacht is super nice and large enough for the number of guests. The food was exceeding my expectations. Different theme every day. Highlight of the trip was the last dive when changing divesite due to rough weather. On that dive we encountered a whale shark and four Mantas…

There was so many highlights from snorkelling with whale sharks to a night dive with Mantas to diving with a massive number of nurse sharks, plus every other dive. The boat and the crew added to the overall experience and made this one of the best weeks of diving for a long time.

Saw a whale shark while snorkeling twice and then when diving down below. Saw 5 mantas in one cleaning station. Nurse shark feeding frenzy at night with tens and tens of them bumping into you was thrilling

Fantastic!!!
This was my very first liveaboard and now I am addicted. Blue Force One is a beautiful well maintained yacht with fantastic crew who go above and beyond for the travelers. Yaki, the cruise director, was very professional and a great problem solver. Brian, our dive instructor, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. He was able to help me through a few hiccups with my equipment. Aron's smile was something I looked forward to every day when we transferred to the dhoni. Food was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately, that caused me to gain 4 lb because it was so hard to resist :-) I would recommend this liveaboard to everyone who is looking to have an amazing diving experience and I cannot wait to go back!

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 😊

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!

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 😁

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!

My favourite boat, of any fleet, in any location.
This is the second time I've been aboard Blue Force One (first time 2022) and again it has not disappointed. Considering the price point, it's value is probably best-in-class, with a superior experience to even the higher price fleets. The boat itself was extremely comfortable on all decks, for post dive and general relaxation. It felt more like an all-inclusive contemporary city break accomodation with all conveniences and hotel service. The food was varied and delicious. The staff kept the boat pristine throughout, with no noticeable fuss/intrusion. The dives were planned perfectly and the dive crew had an excellent knowledge of the sites and fauna, and were happy to impart their knowledge. Adjustments were made for conditions and likely sightings with opportunity for alternate activities for a dive break, such as kayaking. Nitrox was exactly the same value every time, although the dives are limited by Maldivian law to 30m so it didn't need to vary. If I had a small gripe and request, it'd be storage for clothing and bathroom items, underbed drawers and a lipped shelf in the bathroom would make the floors in the rooms feel less cluttered with personal items, but this did not detract at all. Overall, this is my favourite of all the liveaboards I've been on, of any fleet, and not just in the Maldives.

All of the staff - their outstanding helpfulness and service made me feel well looked after all week. The food - considering it's a boat kitchen, the food choice and taste was absolutely astonishing. The diving experience - the briefings, itinerary, and overall ease of diving was first class.
