Four days of excellent, friendly diving.
Extremely high value voyage! This was my second liveaboard and everything substantially exceed my expectations. All of Chef Ann's food was delicious but anything pork was a step above! Trip director Ric had everything organized very well, was super easy going and friendly, and managed to have us on time or early for almost every dive and transit. Diving in Paan's group of other AOW divers was a blast. Briefings were clear and detailed, and his navigation of the sites was flexible and professional to help maximize bottom time and chances of seeing things unique to each site. Also, shout out to the gas tech for mixing nitrox to within better than 0.5% of 32% O2 every time - very impressive!

Dive, eat, sleep, repeat!
This liveaboard exceeded our expectations. The crew went above and beyond to give us the best trip possible, even with some crummy weather. Pit was an awesome dive master and helped us get our advanced cert - and then we added on our nitrox cert too. One big perk of this boat is the small diving groups - my husband and I were just with Pit. The food was sooooo good and I loved the warm towel and drink after every dive. Boots and Sam ran a safe and organized boat, and then were fun to chat with after dinner. We loved our trip and highly recommend the Blue Dolphin!

An absolute must-visit
The trip was fantastic and outdid our expectations. Steve, Ciarra and Will were very hospitable and also very knowledgeable about the area, and were able to show us some amazing marine life. Ciarra was our dive guide and she’s so lovely to dive with. The food was delicious and we were extremely well fed on this trip - with breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack in-between (all delicious btw), you couldn’t go hungry at any time. We will definitely be visiting again and diving with the team at Blue Dolphin - highly recommended!

The perfect first liveaboard
Richelieu is definitely the best dive spot, and the people are all so nice. I didn't feel any discomfort during the trip because all Blue Dolphin managers are very kind and helpful.

Great laid-back diving on nice boat and attentative crew
I was really glad we got to dive Richelieu Rock 3 times. That was totally worth it. Thanks to Steve for taking it easy and giving enough slack for us to explore around on our own while still keeping an eye on just in case :)
