Blue Storm Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Blue Storm Liveaboard review to help you confidently choose and book the right liveaboard. 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.

Quick Blue Storm Liveaboard Review Navigation

For easy navigation to check my SDE Liveaboard Rating scores for the Blue Storm Liveaboard, use the light blue navigation links (e.g. "Boat Features 7/10"). Each category can score up to 10 points based on its onboard features. I've added these scores together to calculate the overall *Blue Storm Liveaboard SDE Liveaboard Rating of 48% shown below.

*How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the Blue Storm Liveaboard: 48%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Blue Storm Liveaboard works by taking the six individual SDE Liveaboard Rating scores, with each one being scored out of 10 and then adding them together. For the Blue Storm Liveaboard are ([Diving:8/10] + [Cabin:2/10] + [Boat:7/10] + [Dining:5/10] + [Drinks:6/10] + [Non-diver:1/10] = 29/60). This total is compared to the maximum possible score of 60/60 to turn it into an overall percentage – which for the Blue Storm Liveaboard is calculated as 29/60 = 48% SDE Liveaboard Rating.

This makes it easy to compare different liveaboards at a glance. See a more detailed explanation of how SDE Liveaboard Rating works together with all dive liveaboards ranked by SDE Liveaboard Rating .

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Best liveaboard I’ve been on. The highlights of our trip are all about the crew. I have been on liveaboard dive boats in South America, Indonesia, south east Asia, and the Caribbean and I have never experienced service like I did on blue storm. From help donning your wetsuits and your fins to over the top food with beautiful presentation. The guides were professional, experienced, and shared in the enthusiasm of their clients. The boat was perfect in every way. With all the liveaboard choices out there my wife and I were so happy we picked Blue Storm.”
