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!

Seven days on Blue Force One, and I’m ruined for all other holidays
Seven days on Blue Force One, and I'm ruined for normal holidays I just finished a week aboard Blue Force One in the Maldives (1–8 August) and I'm writing this partly as a review and partly as a thank-you note, because this crew deserves both. The diving: honestly ridiculous. Grey reef sharks and white tips by the dozen, nurse sharks piling up like puppies, eagle rays cruising past like they owned the place, mantas doing their slow-motion flights at the cleaning stations, plus turtles, napoleon wrasse, tuna, barracuda, and enough moray eels to fill a horror film. If it swims, crawls or floats in the Maldives, we probably saw it. Dive guides Sadhu and Humaid were the stars underwater. They read the currents like a newspaper, put us in exactly the right spot every single time, and did it all with the calm of people who have clearly done this a thousand times and still love it. Somehow they always knew where the sharks would be before the sharks did. Our hosts Gabriel and Maria ran the show beautifully, and the briefings were a highlight in themselves. What stood out for me was Gabriel's knowledge of marine life and environmental protection, and his genuine eagerness to educate us divers. I came for the sharks and accidentally left knowing far more about the ocean than when I arrived. Back on board, Chef Sampath fed us so well I gained weight on a trip where I did three dives a day, which I consider a professional achievement on his part. Dinuka and Sena from the hospitality team had hot chocolate, juices, coffee and smiles waiting after every dive, and knew everyone's preferences by day two. The dhoni staff deserve their own medal, every day, with a smile, they made sure we forgot nothing and did almost nothing ourselves, which, frankly, also contributed to the weight gain. The boat itself is spacious and genuinely comfortable, the kind of place where falling asleep to the engine hum feels like a luxury. The clearest review I can give: I've already booked my next trip on the same boat a few months from now, this time to the Deep South. Solo traveller, felt completely at home, counting the days. Five stars, would surface-interval again.

- The dive guiding, Sadhu and Humaid putting you on the sharks every single time. Gabriel’s briefings, marine life knowledge and environmental education that elevated the whole trip. The pampering, Chef Sampath’s food plus Dinuka, Sena and the dhoni crew doing everything but breathing for yo.

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.

Would like to do this again
I had a great time on this trip and would recommend it for anyone looking to dive the Maldives. While the weather wasn’t on our side for most of the days, it didn’t seem to effect the diving much- just the sunbathing.

Fantastic liveaboard !!!
The yacht is super nice and large enough for the number of guests. The food was exceeding my expectations. Different theme every day. Highlight of the trip was the last dive when changing divesite due to rough weather. On that dive we encountered a whale shark and four Mantas…

We saw unbelievable marine life...everything we could have possibly wished to see. The crew was fantastic, they even had an onboard videographer! The boat itself is stunning...we never wanted to get off!
