Maldives Blue Force 3 Liveaboard

Not just a 5 star review. This is our 3rd time in 3 years on Blue Force 3. This crew goes above and beyond without fail. From their patience, knowledge, and skill set in the water to their kindness and sense of humor on the boat. We cannot recommend this company and crew enough. Book this company asap.

One of the best liveaboard ever! the crew, the atmosphere, the boat, the food, everything is excellent! It"s my 6th time and i will repeat for sure! The cruise director, Mariano, is a great diver and better person, let him give you suggestions.

Did the trip from Malé to Koodoo in January. Beautiful dives with over 400 miles of travel. Very rocky conditions moving between atolls in the open ocean, but overall a great trip. Beautiful ship with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great briefings from Estefi! Faddoo was an excellent guide—getting us to the best points in the channels and keeping us feeling safe without being overbearing. All of the staff on this trip were excellent. The ship felt clean and well maintained, with many spots for staying outdoors in the shade. The dining area is indoors. The food was delicious, and I was surprised by the variety of dishes and the freshness of the fruits and vegetables. They have an automated coffee machine and tea available all day. Extra things I would bring next time: -Electrolyte powder -Salty snacks if you prefer salty (they provide cookies and fruit) -Hair conditioner (the ship has shampoo and body wash) -Dry bag and a small tote to bring items back and forth. The transfer from the dhoni to the boat can be tricky when you have a lot in your hands. -Ear medication for swimmer’s ear -Post-dive ear solution, if you use something after dives -Eye sleep mask (if light bothers you—the air-con system is very bright) -smaller EU plug adapter for the room because my outlet had a light switch and I accidentally turned on/off room lights every time I needed to adjust it which disturbed my roommate Other things to consider: -They can store your luggage in the upper deck storage, which is outside, so hard luggage may be better in the humidity. I had soft luggage, so I kept it in my room, which made things tighter since there isn’t much space. -The transfer flights book up quickly, so check Maldivian Air flights and book those before the larger airlines. I misunderstood the Maldivian website for availability—it’s a bit less user-friendly—and it resulted in extra fees from Virgin Atlantic to change my flights
