Blue O Two brand announces 20 year anniversary

Over the last 20 years, the Blue O Two brand has been on an incredible journey. There have been some wonderful highs and some almighty challenges along the way. Their strapline, Creating inspirational experiences became a reality for tens of thousands of divers. And they supported the launch of boats in the Red Sea, which set the standard in liveaboards for many years.
The challenges for the brand were varied, to say the least. From the Icelandic volcanic eruption in 2010, to two partner airlines collapsing, to the revolution in Egypt – the list goes on. Topping it all was Covid, which adversely affected most businesses around the world. Throughout all this time however, the brand persevered.
Over the past twelve months, customers from across the globe have loved getting back in the water. Divers from the USA, Spain, Australia, South Korea, France and Germany (to name just a few) have joined their core customer base from the UK.
The brand’s founders want to recognise the support of their customers over the past 20 years. And so, throughout 2023, they’ll be marking their anniversary by saying thank you – with giveaways, treats and gifts. They’ll also be launching exciting new products for their customers to choose from.
The first gift will be in their Christmas card this year. Sign up to their newsletter before 21st December if you want to get the first of their 20th anniversary giveaways. Head to www.blueotwo.com for more.
