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!

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. -

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.

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!

In short: endless emotions, a perfect team, great humor, amazing food, excellent coffee, and the feeling that you are in truly reliable hands. We want more. Very much.
This was not just a dive safari, it was a true celebration of life with fins on. The Maldives look like a postcard, the ocean is pure magic, and the crew is an absolute dream. Yaqui is a real one-man orchestra with no days off: cruise director, strategist, motivator, and the person in charge of good vibes. It truly feels like he can even negotiate with the currents — with him, you could sail to the edge of the world. The dhoni crew — Baabu and Harum— you are amazing! Always there, always helping, supporting, and making diving feel easy and joyful. Huge thanks as well to our dive guides, Thiti and Iyan — professional, attentive, calm, and always making sure every dive was safe, fun, and unforgettable. The food on board was out-of-this-world! Every meal was a feast: fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. From local seafood delights to international dishes, it felt like dining at a gourmet restaurant every day. And morning coffee from a real coffee machine in the middle of the ocean! Pure happiness! The cherry on top — complimentary Wi-Fi! So yes, you can send photos, brag a little, and tell everyone: “Yes, we’re in the Maldives.” A very special and heartfelt thank you to Margaux, who conducted the diving course for our daughter. Margaux has an incredible gift for teaching — with patience, warmth, and complete calm. She didn’t just teach diving skills, she opened a whole underwater world for our child. Our daughter now knows so much about marine life, can easily tell who is who under the water, and is absolutely in love with the ocean. As a result, our daughter is absolutely thrilled, the parents are relaxed, and we now officially have one more diver in the family. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes — from keeping the boat running smoothly, organizing dives, keeping equipment ready, to making sure our safety and comfort were always priority.

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.

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.

Don't hesitate, book it!
For our first liveaboard, we were very impressed with how delicious and plentiful the food was. The boat was clean and obviously well cared for. The amount of space on the boat was insane- we had a full boat on our trip yet there was enough room for everyone to spread out. The bedroom and ensuite also had a lot of space and a good amount of storage. The diving was incredible, we saw a lot of new critters big and small. But, the thing that really made this trip exceptional was the staff. All staff members seemed so happy to be there, friendly, and willing to talk/hangout for hours. They did a great job as a guide- pointing out sea life and make sure everyone was safe and having a great dive. We will 100% be coming back to the Maldives on Blue Force One again.

Guide is always earnest to find and attract fishes, yet checking group in good timing ( & paid attention and instruct to my buoyancy from time to time, thank you !!) -Creatures Mantas, Whale shark, Many other sharks, Rays, Various fishes all around you! Manta night diving was amazing! -Room & Space Big comfortable clean room, hot shower with good water pressure. Big relaxing space with A/C in Main deck. 2 Juggzie & deck chairs spaces for sunny and shade. Bar space is enough big and comfortable. -Food Delicious! I didn’t get tired for menu. Yummy sweet fruits everytime. I could order baked, scrumbled or omelette egg for breakfast. I like the way they arrange dishes ( spoon & cups ) by cute form each time different way. -Crew Friendly, Cheerful, Supportive, and always smiling! I felt very welcomed.
