blue o two wins awards
Public thumbs up for UK luxury liveaboard operator
Red Sea luxury liveaboard operator blue o two is celebrating a double whammy win in this year’s Sport Diver magazine awards.
The British outfit picked up gongs in the ‘Best Tour Operator’ and ‘Best Liveaboard’ categories.
Readers voted the vessel M/Y Blue Melody their favourite.
Divers have been exploring the Red Sea aboard blue o two liveaboards since 2001, but the company has recently expanded the fleets elsewhere.
The Maldives is now well established, with blue o two itineraries on offer in the Galapagos, Malta, Mexico, Sudan and Indonesia.
blue o two director Jason Strickland said: “We are thrilled to retain the title of ‘Best Liveaboard’ and to be voted ‘Best Tour Operator’ is the icing on the cake.
“As the only UK tour operator to operate and manage our own fleet of vessels, we have a fabulous, hard working team and these awards are testament to their outstanding service.”
