blue o two announces a brand new Destination of the Month

Published

2017 is flying by! It’s August already and UK-based dive tour operator blue o two are bringing divers another fantastic Destination of the Month showcase. This time, attention turns to the pearls of the Indian Ocean, the magical Maldives.

blue o two first ventured to the Maldives several years ago, and now operate two beautiful liveaboards in the region. The Maldives is a stunning group of atolls that plays host to what can only be described as an underwater paradise. With tropical conditions all year round, scuba divers have the chance to enjoy an abundance of marine life, from manta rays and whale sharks, through to barracuda, tuna, and more than 700 different species of tropical fish dotted throughout the coral reefs.

M/Y blue Voyager, fresh from her mid-year dry dock, welcomes 26 divers on board and is the epitome of a spacious diving liveaboard. Complete with a custom-built 19m diving support vessel, blue Shadow, this outstanding liveaboard remains as a peaceful sanctuary in between diving, and each diver has an ample space in their own allocated station aboard the dhoni. With an ocean deck, numerous relaxation areas, and a Jacuzzi on board, M/Y blue Voyager is a fantastic option for anyone looking to venture to the Maldives.

M/V Sea Spirit offers a different, but equally enjoyable Maldivian diving experience. She provides a more intimate setting, with a maximum of 12 divers on board. Offering a superb selection of itineraries, trips aboard M/V Sea Spirit are hosted by Lisa and Dave Allison, who have over 20 years of experience of diving in the region; you simply couldn’t be in more capable hands. The vessel boasts a beautiful sun deck, along with alfresco dining; the food is prepared by a fantastic Sri Lankan chef and guests will be blown away by his culinary delights.

Throughout August, blue o two will be bringing their divers a whole host of inspirational content, top tips, interesting facts and lots more across their social media channels, so make sure to check them out if you are considering the Maldives as your next scuba diving destination.

Plus, to top it all off, to celebrate the Maldives as Destination of the Month for August, blue o two have announced a fantastic special offer:

For all bookings taken during August 2017 on board either M/Y blue Voyager or M/V Sea Spirit for all remaining 2017 departures, guests will receive free nitrox for the duration of their liveaboard holiday, plus a free bottle of wine per person on arrival.
