Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Blue Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Great fun & enjoyable time on this liveaboard ! Great trip, with good dive briefings & guidance by dive masters. The Mantas, moray eels, whale sharks & nurse shark life was amazing😃. Would have preferred that we spent only one night back at the harbour in Male’ instead of the two consecutive nights, in another area of the atolls.”

Recommended for: The excellent boat & dining room crew. Diving with 30+ Mantas - insane fun 😃. The comfortable room.
