A truly amazing experience!
The incredible marine life...whale sharks, manta rays (especially at night), nurse sharks, huge schools of fish...so much! The crew was fabulous! They were fun and personable, including everyone and making sure we all had an amazing safari.

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!

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!!

Great live aboard for the Maldives
We enjoyed the whaleshark, lots of Gray and White Tip Reef sharks, many turtles and several different kinds of rays. Conditions were not very good on some of the dives. The guides could have attempted to take us to Kandus with incoming current, which produced better conditions. Instead, we just showed up at the sites and dealt with whatever conditions were present.

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!

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!

Good trip would book same boat again but in another location
Seeing the whale sharks up close, the feeding frenzy by a local fish canning factory of oceanic black tip sharks. Disappointing reef diving as many on board only wanted to see 'big game' and in strong currents. We felt that this was too late in the year to see many species like hammerheads and other large species. We would choose the northern atolls in future.

For me the highlight was to see a whaleshark even though by snorkeling. The Trips to the island was very nice, had such a great and funny time. Crew was awesome. Food was also great. Our Cabin was beautiful, comfortable and big! Even though the view under water wasn´t great we had a great time with diving and saw a lot of sharks, mantas....

Most amazing liveabord experience ever
Best liveaboard yacht ever, Feels like a millionnaire lifestyle, magnificient yacht, two jaccuzies outside ( a beer in the jaccuzi in the front at sunset, priceless), nice bar area, rooms are large and confortable, especially the Master Suite we had, awesome sea view with large windows, big jaccuzi in the room. The diving boat that follows the yatch is large, very convenient, nicely designed, built-in Nitrox compressor, all the dives were on Nitrox, Large cylinders availlable at extra 35$ for the week, well worth the investment, made a big difference for me and everyone who took it, since there is a lot of current and deep dives, you want to make the most of your bottom time, this those tanks all the dives were 50 min and more.My wife can breath 2 hours with a small tank, but me, eh, am a big guy... The bar was well stocked, plenty beer, wine, gin, and anything you want them to keep in the bar if you ask them in advance. Keep in mind this is the Maldives, so it is very difficult to get alcohol. Price for the bar was decent, and you buy a whole bottle for the week, makes it cheaper in the end. Free Internet is avaialble on the ship, but everyone is on it, so it gets very slow or hard to connect. Better you get your own SIM card with 15G data package, then create your own network for all your computers and phones. Ask the guide the first day at the time of boarding, they can get one for you, cost only 20$ if I remember correctly. We still had 5Gb left on the card at the end of the week. Water and coffee is free unlimited, good idea to bring some powder juice with you to make your own mix. Great pre-dive debriefs, and awesome dives. Awesome video and pictures from the on-board cameraman, free copy on USB stick at the end of the trip. Bring a spare USB stick in case they run out, and bring some case for the shopping on the island, and for the crew tips at the end. Good to bring a bluetooth speaker, very convenient! So, all in all, best diving experience ever, already planning our next liveabord, and this is the one we will compare with, but it will be hard to find anything even close to it. What an amazing trip this was!!

Wonderful stay
Most of the guests are from Europe, but we had a great time with them and friendly staff. The most remarkable thing is food. They served balanced meal each time such as lots of fresh vegetable, seafood and meat, which had good taste for even Asians. Besides, the room was clean and comfotable with a window and spacious shower room, so we spent the whole week relaxing in the room without sea sickness. The total 17dives were given and each dive gave us precious opportunity to encounter specific creatures we haven’t seen before like a whale shark, manta rays and nurse sharks. I highly recommend to join this tour and believe it’s worth spending your holiday.

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!

Without a doubt, the diving experiences were the best ever! Night dives with manta rays and nurse sharks.... and so much underwater life in general! Our dive guides worked hard to get us to see as much as possible and the crew were always friendly and helpful. On board was great too.

The diving was exceptional, all the staff went above and beyond to make our week so special, and the boat is gorgeous. There are not enough superlatives to express what a journey it was.

Amazing experience!
My trip got off to a rocky start due to delayed baggage from the airline. Initially I had some difficulty getting help from the crew however Nigel was able to arrange a special trip to shore for me to go shopping to pick up the necessities while I waited for my baggage to show up. The crew also provided me free of charge rental gear so I could still complete the dives. From there the trip only got better each day and I soon forgotten the earlier stresses from delayed baggage. Saw many species of Shark, Mantas, turtles, varieties of corals and too many fish to keep track of. Cabins & bathrooms on the boat are quite large compared to other boats and the boat had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the Maldivian sun during surface intervals. Food on board was good and the crew caught fresh fish everyday for dinner.

An amazing week diving with best crew
The underwater world of the Maldives did not disappoint - we had mantas, whale shark and so many sharks. Although the ocean will never promise anything, Blue Force One really went above and beyond to provide us the best possible dives in the route - we did the manta night dive which was madness, and searched long time for the whale shark we finally found. They even attempted to give us a black water dive which would've been exploratory (sadly cancelled due to very bad weather). The crew were all amazing, experienced, friendly and funny (and likes to pull pranks on each other), just great ambiance. The boat is well equiped, comfortable, with very spacious common area and cabins. Overall a great decision to go the Blue Force!

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.

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!

Fabulous first time experience on a liveaboard.
The diving was amazing but also meeting the great like minded people who joined us on the trip. Seeing the Maldives from a very different perspective was lovely. The only negatives were the mattress was very hard in our cabin and spending the first day in harbour and then arriving back in the harbour mid morning on the last day we just sat around feeling like we were in a limbo?

Nice boat but very rude guests underwater
Unfortunately the presence of a quite large group a guests behaving rudely under water ruined most of the dives. There were people chasing wildlife, swooping on turtles, causing the animals to flee and ruining the possibility of a closer look to the polite and mindful divers. There were too many divers with large camera equipment, including a couple of professional ones who felt entitled to do what they wanted. I felt the guides could have been tougher, things got out of hands. A real shame.

A trip of a lifetime
The team at Blue Force One pulled out all the stops on a whirlwind tour of the central atolls. The crew, comprised of Spanish and Maldivian dive guides, planned a route with something for everyone: currents, drifts, shark specials, manta cleaning stations, wrecks, night dives, and macro. Briefings were informative without being overbearing. The dive boat (donay) was brand new and equipped with a proper bathroom, two fresh water showers and an ample sundeck. Food was plentiful albeit a touch repetitive. The crew were energetic, knowledgable and attentive. Highly recommended.

Amazing Week of Diving
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.

Deep South
We had a great trip for Deep South. The boat and dhoni setup is very comfortable. Diving for Deep south is done in channels with reef hook, but also pinnacles (tila) and one wreck We saw tiger sharks, Dolphins, many Silver and Whitetip sharks, turtles, ... and even a frogfish during a night dive. Only things to consider are financial related: Euro rate was ~8% worse than Mastercard, so paying by card (3% surcharge) is worth it. Taxes are extra (~300€), it seems like this is included with others except green tax 6usd/day. The early return flight was booked even though the intl. flight was only at night, but prbly Maldivian airlines fault.

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.

magnificent Manta Expedition
positive: Overall I would definitely recommend the Blue Force Liveaboard. The Crew was Always very nice and cheerful. The food impeccable and tasty. They brought us to the best dive spots, which were not even on the itinerary. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat!!!! Great diving & great people! more on the negative side: -the promised dive from the first day was skipped -there was unfortunately no introduction of the crew, except for the dive guides -bathroom cleaning could be improved -after dives and in the evening the barman was very often gone...

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.

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.

The whole team worked extremely well together and this translated into a fantastic trip
The diving in the deep south is slightly different and I think everyone should do this trip instead of repeating the central atolls. It is more channel diving but there is still a chance to see mantas and whale sharks which we did. The big bonus is seeing the tiger sharks in Fuvahmulah. The boat in itself is comparable to other boats in the upper range. People have personal choices but you may find other premium boats offer more space and a slightly different experience based on the core clientele. The air conditioning in the rooms was a bit noisy which I have not encountered before. What more than makes up for it is the team and dive guides that will guarantee you a great trip.

Super
This was a dream of a holiday. Super comfortable, beautiful settings, lots of thoughtful details… The crowd was friendly and there were plenty of opportunities for the group to get to know each other. Crew was attentive, friendly and the dive masters hilarious. The food was good and plentiful but not superb. My only feedback would be that novice divers should be aware that this trip is tailored to people who are fairly comfortable in the water. Felt there was an assumption that the divers would take care of themselves (safety checks, buddy ups etc) which most people did. I was one of the more inexperienced divers and perhaps would have appreciated a little more hands on guidance. One of the regular guides was absent for the second half of the trip so perhaps the less hands on approach was due to this. One the whole, highly recommended. Thank you so much and until next time.

Awesome dive. Excellent Service. Good value for money.
Diving was excellent ! Overall the boat is in good condition. Aircon in the room could work better and food could be a bit more sophisticated. The price is good but be aware of extras (tax, rent, nitrox, alcohol) that will substantially increase the bill.

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 😁
