We had an excellent experience. We wanted to combine scuba and snorkel for a large group. We had a combination of adults and children, some who didn’t like boats. Basically a nightmare to coordinate. They did a wonderful job putting together a tour that was the highlight of our trip. The reef dive was our favorite ever dive. The cenote was incredible. They were very easy to work with, very responsive both by email and then by WhatsApp in country.

I can’t say enough good things about Laura at Bluewater Dive Travel for helping us plan the most incredible trip! From start to finish, Laura was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to making sure our experience was flawless. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and tailored the entire itinerary to fit our preferences, including choosing the perfect resort (Waiwo Dive Resort and Dive into Raja Ampat). Her expertise in diving destinations and logistics made everything so easy and stress-free.

Laura provided excellent recommendations for dive operators and ensured all the details were taken care of, from gear rental to dive scheduling. It was clear that Bluewater Dive Travel truly cares about providing a top-notch experience for divers. I felt confident every step of the way that we were in good hands.

Thanks to Laura’s planning, we had a seamless and unforgettable adventure. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future dive trips! Highly recommend Bluewater Dive Travel to anyone looking for a stress-free, expertly organized diving vacation!

Two couples shared the Senja traditional yacht for 8 days in Raja Ampat. I can honestly say that the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The crew were friendly, extremely capable and worked very hard to accommodate all of our needs and wishes.
The food was varied and delicious. The chef was very true to the style of food we had requested. The service was relaxed and friendly.
Our group was interested in more than just diving, in fact we had requested snorkeling only, but ended up with a combination of snorkeling and diving. The reefs were beyond exceptional with the kind of insane variety of corals and fishes that was beyond our high expectations. The highlight for me was snorkeling with 6-7 manta rays while they were being “cleaned” by small reef fish while hovering above corals in the current.
Beyond the diving we had many other experiences like hiking to the top of a ridge at sunrise to watch birds of paradise displaying high in the tree tops. We also had a short hike to the blue river for a morning swim and visited and toured a lovely pearl farm with the most engaging Aussie manager.
The entire trip was organized and curated by the boat’s guide Darmin. I can’t say enough about his skill and demeanor at arranging all the activities and keeping crew and guests on track. He, along with Roger, were master dive instructors who led us on spectacular dive and snorkel trips. And we quickly became accustomed to being greeted by the entire crew upon returning to Senja with a cold juice and towel with warm smiles by all.
The pace and variety of our trip was exactly how we had hoped, with plenty of time for relaxation, extra swimming, evening cocktails and relaxed dining.
We couldn’t have been happier with the entire adventure. Laura at Bluewater did an excellent job of assisting us with every step of the process, from describing the trip to recommending logistics to food and itinerary preferences. She was patient and thorough with our many questions.
Overall it was a trip of a lifetime experience for seasoned travelers who have extensive travel experience. I couldn’t recommend it any higher.

After struggling to organize a live aboard dive trip with little success, I reached out to Bluewater travel. Gillian was amazing! She took care of arranging all of the flights, boat arrangements, day, rooms, and even set me up for a layover day in Dubai. She was patient and responded to all of my numerous emails with questions. I will continue to work with her for booking all my future trips!
Thanks Gillian!

Jasmine C. of Bluewater Travel provided excellent customer support for our February 2025 Maldives liveaboard. Jasmine's prompt responses and timely contact kept us well informed on all aspects of the trip. I’d highly recommend Jasmine as a trusted source for holiday travels with international diving resources.

I just returned from an amazing diving trip organized by Jasmine Carter at Bluewater Travel, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she showed incredible attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of my trip was tailored to my preferences.

The follow-up on air travel arrangements was seamless, giving me peace of mind before my journey. The accommodations were fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed every meal - everything was simply delicious!

I highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking to plan their next adventure. Thank you for creating such memorable experiences! I can't wait for my next trip with your help!

Anne was an absolute pleasure to deal with! She is a highly knowledge and very accomodating to my requests, consistently delivering prompt, detailed responses to my queries.
I have been a licensed scuba diver for close to 40 years and my mini "dive adventure" to Anthony's Key exceeded my already high expectations.
Every aspect of the Resort, from the airport service, to the reception/orientation, amazing accommodations right on the ocean, fantastic food & service, the well-appointed hill top bar/lounge and most of all, the friendly and helpful staff, who made it a point to know your name.
The diving was top-notch, with a well-stocked dive shop (I rented my BCD, fins and regulator, as opposed to flying with it as luggage), small group oriented (8 of us for the whole week) with the same, highly experienced Divemaster (Calderon) and boat Captain, Dean.
The reefs are healthy, with an abundance of marine life seen on every dive.
I am normally not one to revisit locations, as my diving bucket list is a long one, but I will definitely return to Anthony's Key!

I retired recently and had big plans for dive travel in the up coming years. While researching trips, I quickly became overwhelmed by all the options. I came across and add for Bluewater Travel and reached out to them with some guidelines on what I like in a dive trip, muck diving, warm water, solo travel etc. They quickly came back with some really nice looking options to choose from. I chose a trip to 2 different resorts in different areas of the Philippines and the did all the logistics of resort stays and inter-island travel. I just got back from the trip and cannot believe how well Jesse from Blue water travel was able to match me to perfect locations. I had an awesome trip, with no hiccups, saw 8 bucket item animals and had just a fantastic trip. I will definitely use them for my next trip, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
