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.

Would definitely recommend Ecoblue
I loved diving with Ecoblue, and was so happy to see my first whale shark (snorkelling), along with lots of mantas and sharks. The team is friendly, hard working and knowledgeable. Our dive guides were Shamoon, Amir and Alex. I always felt safe with them, and they did their best to make the experience amazing for us, as well as being a lot of fun. There were a couple of night dives that were so memorable - the first was with mantas and the second with sharks. The BBQ on a picture-perfect tropical island was a lovely experience, too, and we spent the evening chatting and listening to Shamoon and Imad's live music under the stars. The boat was clean and stocked with everything you needed for a comfortable week. The showers were always hot. The company makes an effort environmentally by providing refillable water bottles, avoiding single use plastics where possible, offering draft beer, and providing non-toxic shower gel and shampoo. In the water they got us all to use reef hooks to prevent damage to the reef and they don't feed sharks. I did the Central Atolls trip in November and although the corals were not always pristine there was so much interesting wildlife that the entire experience was fantastic. Thank you, Ecoblue!

Lifechanging experience that will be hard to beat!
The highlight of this trip was Moofushi Corner. The simplicity of swimming against the current with hundreds of thousands of other fish, mimics the feeling of flying. Add in a very curious baby eagle ray, and it makes the experience magical. Would highly recommend and will certainly look to visit again and dive with Eco Blue!
