M/V Blue Spirit

M/V Blue Spirit is a spacious, comfortable and traditional Maldivian diving liveaboard - a true diver's boat.

Her wooden hull has been specifically designed to optimize sailing through the waters of the Maldives, while her interior has been fitted out to heighten comfort and relaxation for guests. The M/V Blue Spirit offers comfortable accommodation together with the highest standards of service. Her shallow draft gives the possibility to moor in smaller and quieter lagoons which are inaccessible to larger vessels.

Personalized service with a maximum of 12 divers per trip

M/V Blue Spirit caters for just 12 divers and offers six en-suite and fully air-conditioned cabins. Cabins include two double berth and four double/twin berth with sumptuous fitted interiors. On the main deck there is a large saloon with a large seating and table area for dining and relaxation. The saloon is equipped with a multi-system VHS video recorder with a 14 inch AV monitor for underwater video enthusiasts and a music centre with CD player and tape deck. In addition to a DVD collection, the onboard library includes marine identification books and novels, short stories, and poetry to provide entertainment in the form of easy reading. WiFi is available for a small charge. For photographers, the saloon has ample storage for cameras and recharging points. E6 processing is available on board.

Relaxation and food between dives

The foredeck is partially shaded and offers an ideal place for guests to relax between dives. Meals are generally served at a table outside to the aft of the boat so that guests can enjoy the wonderful beauty of the Maldives. The fantastic Sri Lankan chef, who has been with M/V Blue Spirit for over 15 years, serves a mouth-watering mixture of local and Western cuisines. Tea, coffee and soft drinks are available throughout the day and night. There are steps from the foredeck that lead up to the sundeck - a great place to watch the sun setting or the superb views of the Indian Ocean. 

There is a good variety of both local and European dishes. Special dietary needs can be catered for with advance notice. Breakfast and lunch are usually served buffet style and dinner is generally served seated around the large table on the foredeck.
