Testimonials:

Diving has been amazing. Northern Wrecks & Reefs is a varied itinerary enabling excellent wrecks including the Thistlegorm and the best od the reefs as well. Seeing dolphins at shag rock - kingston wreck was the highlight of the holiday for me!

I had a problem on Big Brother and collapsed on the dive deck. I was taken care of fantastically by guides, the chamber in Marsa Alam plus Fefe and Karen in Hurgurda. Above and beyond what I could have expected. It just shows that Blue O2 take safety as well as customer enjoyment a top priority.

I had type 2 DCS and ended up back in the chamber in the UK as well, completing over 16 hours, but I'm recovered now but no diving for 3 months. My dive buddy, Nik, had to cancel last minute so fingers crossed we'll both get insurance money back and we know where we'll be rebooking.... Blue O2 all the way!

Feel free to post this on your site, as I truly believe that your potential customers would like to know that even when things go wrong, Blue O2 are the best!

I am really excited to be going back out 18th -25th on Blue Horizon with Elke again....met her last year on my 1st ever Blue O liveaboard ( Blue Melody) ...and saw 11 hammerheads!! ...that is a 'Blue' dive that will live with me forever! As if I'm not excited enough, I will be jumping in on my 200th dive on the trip! I only qualified in March '09, but have become addicted, doing as much as I can here in the UK!...but it will be thrilling to get back into the clear blue Red Sea.

The quality of accommodation, service and food on MY Blue Melody was just exceptional, catering all for the guests differing needs. The dive guides, Dray and Anders, were knowledgeable, professional and added just the right amount of humour at the right times. The crew couldn't have looked after us better.

"Crew very attentive without being in your face. Mohammed and Hassan very good, friendly, effivient. Dive briefings detailed, emphisis on safety, but also diver responsibility. Thoroughly enjoyed Chirs' lectures, learned a lot about conservation - his subject knowledge was considerable. Food better on this trip than previos liveaboards." Lynda Hughes.

"When you choose a blue o two liveaboard, you know that you will be treated exceptionally well. The guides especially are knowledgeable, experienced and friendly which means they can quickly assess a group and tailor the briefings to the divers. The crew members bend over backwards to help you with your kit - sometimes a bit too overzealous for my taste as i've always tried to be self sufficient in a male dominated diving club! The food is tremendous - the chef made a special dish for me at every meal as I am vegetarian - delicious! The boat is the height of luxury in Red Sea liveaboards. I could never go with anyone else." Paula Nimmo.

"Diving was amazing, crew/guides were friendly, optimistic and efficient. Everyone on the blue Melody are giving blue o two a very good reputation. It was my first liveaboard and it was definately an amazing experience." Connor Findlow.

"My partner and I are vegetarian and the chef was very accomadating, preparing delicious and beautiful vegetarian dishes for every meal. Also the dive drew were awesome - from being there to unzip the wesuit (nice touch!), to having Karin and Kevin always ensuring comfort and safety! Sam was an excellent crew member always with a hospitable smile. The dive crew boys are a true team and worked together well making the dive comfort seamless." Gary Osborne.

"We do not feel that any of this holiday could be improved. As a fairly new diver, I felt safe and my confidence has grown tenfold. Extremely impressed and would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Thanks." Gillian Garratt.

31st December 2009
"In this competitive market it is very reassuring to find a tour operarator that does not compromise on quality and yet remains competitive price wise. The standard of service from all the staff was exemplorary. The level of interaction between the guides and the guests had exactly the right balance. I particuarly enjoyed the photo workshop and it has definately improved my photo taking. The guests comfort and safety was always paramount." Andrew Askwith.

26th June 2009
"Dray and Karin were very personable and accommodating. Some of the best food and variety we have eaten on a liveaboard. Dive deck crew were most attentive we have ever experienced. We missed our fresh brewed coffee every morning, but we easily adjusted to instant and it was a small price to pay for a week in paradise!."

9th April 2010 - Northern Wrecks and Reefs
"This trip started with a 7 hour delay which meant we late arriving. To be fair, it wasn't Blue O 2 at fault but the carrier who weren't great. The boat Blue Melody was very nice. The crew were fantastic and looked after us really well. The divinig was great. We were unlucky (lucky) enough to be caught up in the volcanic ash crisis. Blue O 2 were fantastic. They really looked after us. We spent two days on Blue Fin (fantastic boat and my favourite) followed by four days on Blue Horizon so we ended up with the full set. Every boat looks after your needs. We did an extended safari which was also a bonus. This is a fantastic company who cares about its reputation and its clients. I would recommend them to anyone and am booking again for the summer! A converted fan. "

13 March 2009 - Best of Wrecks
"This was our first liveaboard and all we can say to anyone not sure about a liveaboard is do it. We doubt though that all liveaboards can be as good as Blue Melody which exceeded all our expectations. The food was fantastic, three delicious meals a day, freshly baked cakes after the afternoon dive etc. The crew could not do enough to help, if you tried to do up your own fin straps it was almost an offence and someone rushed to do it for you. The dive guides were very knowledgable and deliverred very good briefings. They were also very good at not forcing a very experienced group to play follow the leader. They were always available to guide people who wanted it, and in a couple of places they gently ensured they were in the lead of a more difficult/dangerous dive. They got the balance perfectly right. Only having to set your kit up once is fantastic. Roll out of bed grab a tea, check your cylinder is full/the Nitrox mixture is correct and straight into the briefing. The cabins where compact, but large enough for a week. There were many nice touches, the towelling robes which are handy on the dive deck, the hot chocolate after night dives, the fruit juice after every dive, the fresh cakes, the free chocolate/biscuits/soft drinks etc. The only gripe we have was with the airline (Viking). One of our party fainted on the outbound flight and another nearly did on the way back. There was far too little air in the cabin. The leg room was tiny, I would recommend that anyone over 6' pay the extra £25 each way for more leg room. However don't let the last comment put you off; the experience on Blue Melody was fantastic.

5th September 2008 - Project Shark: Brothers & Elphinstone
"I was with our club on Blue O Two's Blue Melody, due to return to the UK on Friday 12th September when XL collapsed. Blue O Two have been outstanding in their customer care, all of us (not only our group) were put up in the Marriott Hotel in Hurghada, kept fully up to date and BO2 even arranged a private transfer to Sharm on Sunday (where the CAA had arranged a flight home) starting off at 8 am rather than the CAA's arranged 30 coach convoy at 1 am. I cannot praise BO2 highly enough and would publicly like to commend them for everything they did for us. We also had a fantastic week prior to all of this, visiting the Brothers , Deadalus and Elphinstone, the shark lectures by Elke were a real bonus, we all learnt so much about these magnificent creatures. Once again thanks to all at BO2, the crew and guides for yet another fantastic week, roll on the next one!" Andy Haynes.

9th May 2008 - HAYAH Reef clean-up
"Hi It was one of the best trips I've made. The best ever guides,their lectures and breifings were very good,and showed their love of the subject.( thanks to you both, you dissapeared before I got to say goodbye) I would have like to have picked up more rubish but most of the sights were fairly clean. As A suggestion would it be posible,to arrange a trip to reseed or tnsplant corals to help in recovery of damaged reefs? Keep up the good work ,hope to join you on another trip later in the year." Les.

9th May 2008 - HAYAH Reef clean-up
"This was my 3rd trip with blue o two and the best yet,there was equal number of male and female divers age thirty something to 72. The banter started on the first day with later being called the Sarga louts. After 8 years of excellent diving in the red sea it was good to be giving something back,we picked up a considerable amount of rubbish off the reef which included large peices of glass, light bulbs, empty sardines tins, netting and fishing line.The lectures on the coral and reef system given by our dive guides was very good and cause much discussion afterwards.I will be looking forward to another HAYAH trip in the future." Alan Scott.

22nd February 2008 - Northern Wrecks & Reefs
"Blue Melody is one of the best luxury boats on the Red Sea as far as I am concerned. This is my favourite in the Blue O Two fleet. I did a Red Sea Wreck tour on Blue Melody in Feb 08 and it was 1st class. One of my best trips to date. The food is outstanding and so are the crew. The crew also helped with kiting up and off and hung your wet suits up for you.... a mind blowing service. I will be back for more ... " Big G.
