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.
