Blue Melody Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Blue Melody 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.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

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 and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. 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, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Amazing Dive Safari on the Blue Melody. I recently spent a week on the Blue Melody liveaboard and it was an unforgettable experience for me. The crew was incredibly friendly always helpful and professional. They all created a warm and welcoming atmosphere on board. The food was absolutely delicious: Fresh, varied and plentiful. I did not expect this. The boat itself was well-equipped and comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing and successful dive trip. Overall, great diving, great service, and great people, what more could you ask for?”

Recommended for: Friendly, funny and dedicated crew. Food & Beverage. Comfort on board.
