Diver/800TG. January 2022 I have booked two weeks (2x Central Maldives) Tours. Very nice and helpful crew. Food was excellent and very varied. The cleaning of the cabins still has potential.
The dive guides (freelancers) did not care enough about safety. They were also drunk and/or stoned several times. It is a pity that dive guests without experience (4 dives in the pool and 8 dives) are allowed for such liveaboards and then the dive spots have to be adjusted according to the experience.
The results of the PCR test were verbally forwarded to us only 12 hours after the organizer received the results. This caused a lot of stress and aggravation, especially when positive results were still available and all participants had to be quarantined.
The Blue Shark One is a simple but practical liveaboard boat on which the crew does a great job of making the guests comfortable. The dive guides and departure organization unfortunately leave a lot to be desired.

We had a great time in the south of the Maldives. Tiger sharks, thresher sharks, dolphins, manta rays and much more was to marvel at. The crew and the ship are great. We felt very comfortable. I would definitely go again with the Blue Shark One. Of course we had the luxury that the ship was only half occupied, since we were traveling in the off-season. Everything fit and it was really good to be on the road again.

we had booked the deep south tour. We had expected more from the diving. There were too many dives where we dived with the wrong current, so that we saw more sand than fish. The tour is only done 2 times a year, once from Male and 1 time back to Male, so the dive guides probably don't know the dive sites as well as they know the sites that are visited all the time. The dive sites in the Male area were very good to good. The guided dive with the tiger sharks in the south is a matter of taste.
It would have been nice to have snacks between dives, especially fruit. The 3 main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) were very tasty and varied.
Somewhat annoying was the hum of the generator running 24 hours, which could also be heard in the cabins. In some cabins you could also feel the vibration of the generator.
The crew was without exception very nice and helpful.

Planning and organization of the domestic return flight Gan-Male by boat was rather chaotic.

The boat is well suited for small groups of up to 8 people. The stay possibilities are very limited and due to the age and the construction of the boat not very inviting.
The vermin colonization in the cabins is not very inviting either, but the crew always tries to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
But woodworm and termites will soon put an end to the boat anyway.
Culinary we were spoiled with mainly rich indian food.
As there were only four of us on the boat, we did not meet any other divers at the dive spots, unfortunately we did not meet any manta rays or whale sharks either, the typical spots were orphaned, unfortunately.
Our guide had led us safely through the Maldivian underwater world.
The advertising of ecological handling on holiday will certainly become feasible at some point with the renunciation of canned beer.
Apart from shampoo, shower gel, which was available in the bathrooms and is biodegradable, and a personal drinking bottle to fill, we could not see much here.

A super diving trip with unforgettable permissions organized by a very dedicated and careful team.

The tour went as planned despite the pandemic, big fish like tiger and bull sharks could be seen, reef sharks and mantas anyway. Unfortunately the hard coral outer reefs at the channel entrances/exits are mostly dying to dead even in the south. Fish, also sometimes in bigger schools, are still around. Soft corals almost completely absent. Deeper steep walls and overhangs probably offer more in this respect if you dive there.
