Diving tour operator blue o two has won 'Liveaboard of the Year 2011' as voted for by DIVE Magazine readers. Sport Diver and Diver Magazine readers have also voted the blue o two vessels as their favourite for 2010! M/Y blue Melody is favourite for Sport Diver voters whilst flagship M/Y blue Horizon has won over DIVE and Diver readers.
In addition, blue o two visited the presentation stage at the Big Scuba Show this weekend to collect awards for 'Dive Guide of the Year 2011' for Dray van Beeck and a further three times for runner-up certificates for Tour Operator, Dive Guide of the Year (Elke Bojanowski Ph.D) and Conservation Project, second only to Project Aware.
Company director Jason Strickland said, "I was thrilled to have the privilege to go up to the stage 5 times to collect our awards - it was almost embarrassing! We are very fortunate to work with such a committed team of guides, of whom Dray and Elke have shone this year and are happy to come second to Project Aware in the Conservation Project Award! M/Y blue Horizon continues to shine but we couldn't have won any of these awards without the continued hard work from the whole team. An especially big 'thank you' should go out to our Egyptian team who, even throughout the unrest in Egypt and the anguish felt by them and their families, continued to provide an award winning service."
blue o two launches their fourth vessel, M/Y blue Voyager in April 2011. Every 40th booking on her taken until the end of May for a trip in 2011, will win a 'Golden Ticket' and their trip will be absolutely FREE!
