MV Blue Force Two Liveaboard Review

Known originally as the Princess Ushwa but now known as MV Blue Force Two – is one of the most spacious and comfortable ways to indulge yourself with a voyage around the Indian Ocean.

A series of stunning atolls and islands perched in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives has long since been on many scuba divers’ bucket list of ‘must see’ destinations. There is a wealth of different marine life to satisfy even the most experienced of divers.

Blue Force two is owned by Blue Force Diving. She is the sister vessel to the larger Blue Force One. Blue Force Two, while smaller, still has impressive dimensions and facilities. At 32.5m long and 10m in beam she is almost identical in size to rivals Dream Catcher 2 and Honours Legacy. And, as with her sister vessel, there has been much attention to detail in her design and layout. Blue Force Two is speedy, comfortable and has every facility the majority of divers could conceivably need.

Cabins and Vessel Layout
