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.”
