Sharks Sharks Sharks! Exceeded expectations.
Sharks and pelagics - tiger sharks, spinner sharks, nurse sharks, whale sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, and all the "normal" reef life you'd expect - more morays than I've ever seen, huge schools of reef fish, batfish, trevally jacks. Channel diving - like being un an underwater hurricane but unparalleled "fish parade" including hundreds of sharks, then floating like Superman over the reef once releasing near NDL. Some very cool special dives (Tiger Zoo on Fuvahmulah; Fish Factory w/ many Spinners, some Reef and even a Bull Shark; Fish Tank with dozens of stingrays and hundreds of Moray Eels; a frenzied Nurse Shark dive). Professional, friendly, and customer service-focused crew, very helpful. Three late afternoon sunset stops on uninhabited tropical islands. Crossing the equator. Overall just an amazing trip.

Very competent dive guides that respect sea creatures.
Incredible encounters with manta rays. Great nurse shark night encounter, this was my fourth time doing this night time shark dive with different boats and this was the best approach to these animals.

First cruise in maldives
We were on the first trip of the boat so everything was new , we have been to hanifarubay during august so we manage to see around 35 mantas at the same spot. More over the manager allowed us to stay 2days on hanifaru bay to be able to spend more times with mantas !

It was a great bucket list experience.
Highlight of the trip was the diving. The Dive masters were great and let us create great memories like crossing the equator and becoming 'shellbacks'. When they found out we were sitting at 99 dives and they decided to scheduled a night dive on the last day to get us to a 100 dives. That night the crew toasted our 100th dive. Great liveaboard experience.

Fun to dive!
Awesome dive experience with awesome guides, crews and food! All three dive guides are very friendly, well experienced and humorous. Crews are also very friendly and well serving. Foods they prepare was also top notch in my three times of live-aboard experience. No regrets by choosing Eco Blue for diving, fun to dive!

Great liveaboard, awesome crew, really good diving
We booked a 11 day trip on MV Eco Blue in October 2017. Everything was well planned and organized. Still the route the boat and the choice of dive sites was handled very flexible due to weather conditions and wishes of the divers. We appreciated that very much because it gave us the chance to focus on the marine life we wanted to see the most. In our trip we saw plenty mantas, two whale sharks and many reef sharks as well as turtles. We can recommend diving in the Maldives in general and especially on the MV Eco Blue. The two guides made really a good job above and under water with organizing everything, showing us the marine life and helping wherever possible. The boat was perfectly managed by Alex who tried to meet all of our specific wishes. The food on the boat was very good. It was a mixture of western and Asian food. The crew tried to meet all of the specific wishes as well. They made extra food for us because we are vegetarian and tried to catch the desired fish for some of the other guests. All in all we had a great experience on the Eco Blue and could see all of the marine life we wished to see. We can especially recommend this boat and we are considering to book another tour on MV Eco Blue in the atolls at the south of the Maldives.
