Since its inception in 2003, Blue O Two has always been at the forefront of providing exceptional experiences for its customers. Over the years, the company has continually demonstrated innovation and forward thinking in its fleet operations, fostering a global community of divers from all walks of life. Today, we bring you news of a thrilling new development at Blue O Two that promises to elevate your diving experience even further.

In 2015, Blue O Two joined forces with Worldwide Dive & Sail, giving birth to Master Liveaboards. This partnership initially took root in the Galapagos and has since expanded its reach, now encompassing 10 liveaboards in 10 diverse and exotic locations around the world. Master Liveaboards quickly earned its place among the world’s premier liveaboard companies, specializing in both well-known and remote diving destinations such as the Philippines, Bahamas, and Bikini Atoll.

As part of Blue O Two’s ongoing mission to provide inspirational experiences, the company constantly challenges itself to improve. The question that has driven this transformation is simple yet profound: “What can we do better?”

Today, we announce that Master Liveaboards is joining forces with the Blue O Two ground teams in the Red Sea and the Maldives. In this exciting development, Master Liveaboards will take charge of ground operations, uniting the expertise of both teams to offer you, our valued customers, the best of both worlds.

What Does This Mean for You?

If you currently have a booking with Blue O Two, there is no need to fret. Your bookings remain unchanged and will proceed as planned.

By combining this foundation with Master Liveaboards’ extensive experience in running seamless, secure, and trusted operations, Blue O Two are poised for an exciting and promising future.

On your next dive adventure, you will witness substantial improvements as the renowned vessels, Blue Horizon and Blue Melody, undergo both structural and cosmetic enhancements.

COVID has been devastating in all areas of the scuba diving industry. Whilst some manufacturers have seen an increase in sales as people chose the lengthy surface interval to upgrade their equipment, ready for whenever the time came to get back into the water, the majority of the industry as suffered.

It is safe to say that the section of the diving industry hit the hardest by the pandemic has been the tourism sector. With people unable to travel anywhere to dive for more than 18 months, the effects have been huge.

This week sees one of the great names in the liveaboard industry, blue o two (as Blue O2 Ltd) entering administration.

“Covid-19 presented us with the greatest challenge in 18 years of trading. The UK has had the most stringent of travel restrictions in place. They have been consistently changing, hard to understand, and made it almost impossible to deliver what you all love doing the most – diving” said the official statement from blue o two.

The statement continued, “Recently, our ATOL license was renewed by the CAA – the travel industry regulator. Although we were granted a new license to provide packages including flights, the CAA, with consumers best interests in mind, imposed conditions on Blue 02 Limited’s ATOL license. This, as well as refunding many millions of £s, has made it difficult for the Directors to see a way forward for Blue 02 Ltd which protects the interests of our customers in the current COVID climate. Given the financial damage caused by the pandemic, and despite our relentless best efforts to save Blue 02 Ltd, unfortunately, and with regret, the decision was made to cease trading on 15th November 2021.”

But this does not seem to be the end of this well known brand.

So we are delighted to say that the Blue O Two brand lives on under Scuba Tours Worldwide Limited – which now trades as Blue O Two. We will continue to operate and provide scuba diving liveaboard holidays with the same devoted team of people.

As such, we will be able to provide some existing holidays booked with Blue 02 Limited as planned, to some customers. If you have a live booking or credit note, to see how you are affected by this news, visit blog.blueotwo.com/blue-02-ltd-administration-customer-info.

Blue O Two are running a tongue in cheek campaign about a very significant milestone in their history. As they say… Finally, they have launched their e-commerce platform. This momentous news means 24 hour immediate booking confirmation. The new e-commerce website will allow Dive Centres, Travel Agents and direct customers to search for live availability on all of their scheduled Scuba diving liveaboard trips. E-commerce will allow Blue O Two to expand on their ability to offer a much more streamlined service.  

CEO, Nathan Tyler said, “We are thrilled to be able to offer this new service to all our customers. It will make the booking process for them much quicker and easier. As a global company, it is important for us to be able to offer this service any time of the day – no matter what country customers live in.

Reef-World’s Conservation Impact Remains Strong Despite Global Pandemic https://www.thescubanews.com/2020/10/27/reef-worlds-conservation-impact-remains-strong-despite-global-pandemic/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=reef-worlds-conservation-impact-remains-strong-despite-global-pandemic https://www.thescubanews.com/2020/10/27/reef-worlds-conservation-impact-remains-strong-despite-global-pandemic/#respond Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:09:08 +0000 http://www.thescubanews.com/?p=18258 Reef-World’s annual report reveals tangible conservation impact despite COVID-19 disruptions New figures out today reveal that The Reef-World Foundation – international coordinator of the UN Environment Programme’s Green Fins initiative – certified more dive shops [...]]]>

Reef-World’s annual report reveals tangible conservation impact despite COVID-19 disruptions

New figures out today reveal that The Reef-World Foundation – international coordinator of the UN Environment Programme’s Green Fins initiative – certified more dive shops and reached more travellers with its conservation messaging than the previous year, despite disruptions to fieldwork caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Reef-World’s annual report, released today, revealed the charity reached 115,000+ travellers with its information on environmental best practice through its Green Fins initiative during its 201920 reporting period; up from the 110,000 travellers reached during 201819. With 115 dive centres assessed in 31 diving hotspots across 11 countries (compared to 98 operators in 10 countries the previous year), the number of active members increased 42% from 118 to 168. 

As well as attracting new members, the programme continues to demonstrate its success in helping marine tourism operators reduce their direct, local impact on coral reefs; with data showing an average 20% reduction in environmental impact among members. 

While implementation work was unable to take place during three months of the year, due to the global pandemic, the reduction in the number of dive staff trained in person was just 6.5% (1,870+ in 201920 compared to 2,000+ in 201819). However, digital innovations have enabled the charity to continue educating dive professionals around the world, no matter their location. Over 1,140 dive professionals signed up to the Green Fins Dive Guide e-Course: a unique online course which enables individual dive professionals to become Green Fins certified. 

Key projects included: the launch of the Dive Guide e-Course Scholarship Fund to help scuba diving guides receive vital environmental certification; the nationwide rollout of Green Fins Egypt in partnership with the Chamber of Diving & Watersports (CDWS); a new initiative to help protect coral reefs in the Dominican Republic in partnership with the TUI Care Foundation; and creating new resources to support marine tourism operators around the world in their efforts to prioritise sustainability despite the COVID-19 pandemic. What’s more, the charity also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), which shall remain in effect until December 2025, to strengthen the framework of cooperation between the two organisations for their  joint international coordination of the Green Fins initiative.Anne Paranjoti, Founder of The Reef-World Foundation, said: “When UNEP asked me to create a framework for Green Fins back in the 1990s, I wanted to create something that would be open to all and provide a role for anyone that wanted to do something to protect the natural world around us. Today, the Green Fins tools and resources are still free for all wishing to join and provide a framework for anyone that would like to contribute and be part of a wider active community of conservators. The model underpinning Green Fins is one that allows us all to have a role –  no matter how small – in protecting the natural environment and demonstrate actions that truly promote core values and reach beyond a limited view of sustainability. The outcome is, thus, enriched lives for all and sustainability of our beautiful natural resources.”  

JJ Harvey, Director at The Reef-World Foundation, said: “Like many other charities and businesses across the travel industry, Reef-World has faced a tough time this year. Not only has the pandemic impacted our ability to conduct our environmental fieldwork but we also lost a valued mentor in the passing of our Trustee Andrea Leeman. Andy was as determined and strong-willed as the toughest out there and she would have been so proud of the conservation impact we’ve achieved despite COVID setbacks. As we move into a new normal, we’re determined to ensure sustainability remains a priority across the marine tourism industry. There are challenges ahead but we’re absolutely dedicated to protecting our precious marine ecosystems for the benefit of the local community, potential visitors, visitors and future generations.”

Chloe Harvey, Director at The Reef-World Foundation, added: “What a year it’s been – and we couldn’t have done it without you all! The generous donations and support from our partners and the general public have inspired us to continue the battle to protect our coral reefs around the world. We’d like to thank everyone for their efforts over the past year and are excited to work with you to forge a stronger path for sustainable tourism in the future. There’s much more to be done and the future is uncertain but, together, we can make sustainable diving the social norm.”  

With 33 government and NGO staff trained to run the network at a national level, Green Fins now has 82 active assessors; one quarter (26%) of whom are female. The Green Fins national teams are looking forward to resuming training and assessments as soon as it is possible and safe to do so. In addition, plans for Green Fins’ expansion into Guam, Timor-Leste, Japan, Costa Rica and Colombia are in place for when travel opens up again.

Reef-World would also like to thank its partners whose vital support has resulted in significant tangible benefits for the ocean:PADI1% for the PlanetExplorer Ventures; the Blue O Two / Worldwide Dive and Sail alliance; Fourth ElementCaudalieProfessional SCUBA Schools International (PSS)ZuBluPATAParalenzEXO FoundationWorld Nomads and The Footprints NetworkGSTCMyDivePro; and Dive O’Clock

Car and coach mechanic Terry Cole, 58, from Northampton is looking forward to jetting off to The Bahamas for seven nights on board M/V Bahamas Master for just £10! Terry scooped the top prize in a lottery competition run by Blue O Two to support Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation.

While more than 880 tickets were sold for a chance to secure the £6,500 trip of a lifetime to The Bahamas on a shark and dolphin safari, there could only be one winner.

TV presenter and expedition leader, Monty Halls, revealed the winning ticket at DIVE 2019 at the NEC in Birmingham.

Terry said, “When I found out that I’d won, I could barely believe it. It’s a dream come true. I’ve been diving for nearly 15 years but never in The Bahamas. I’m expecting some buddies to let me know they’re free to join me next August.”

But Terry was quick to say that they’d be out of luck. Instead he’s decided to take his wife, Sue, on the trip. Although she isn’t a diver, Sue is looking forward to snorkelling on the reefs and relaxing in the luxurious surroundings of The Bahamas.

Marketing Manager for Blue O Two, Laura Greenland, said, “This competition has been so much fun. Not only does it clearly mark The Bahamas as a bucket-list destination, it demonstrates that our passion for supporting sharks and marine conservation is matched by our clients. Everyone at Blue O Two is excited for Terry and Sue, and a little bit jealous too.”

Terry is a veteran of Blue O Two holidays, having dived with them on several occasions in Egypt.

Campaign Director for Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said, “We’re truly grateful to everyone who took part in the competition. Each ticket sold has helped to move our campaign plans for 2020 forward and fuel our commitment to making Britain the first country in the Western world to ban shark products.”

On 23rd September 2019, Thomas Cook Group were placed into administration. 

Unfortunately, Blue O Two has a substantial number of customers affected by the collapse of the group, which includes Thomas Cook Airlines. 

Thomas Cook Airlines were due to be the supplier of the flight segment of travel on a large proportion of upcoming liveaboard holidays to the Red Sea. 

The team at Blue O Two are now working as quickly as possible to identify solutions where alternative travel arrangements may be required. They will be contacting customers in chronological order, by departure date.

Blue O Two are also liaising closely with Thomas Cook Group and the Civil Aviation Authority to make suitable arrangements for the repatriation of any guests currently overseas. 

Whilst they understand that customers may be concerned by this news, they are asking for patience at this difficult time. 

If your booking has been impacted, then the team will be in touch as soon as they can to discuss your trip in more detail. 

In case of emergency, then the team can be contacted via email on divingholidays@blueotwo.com, via phone on 01752 480808, or via LiveChat (when available) at www.blueotwo.com

Two weeks ago, the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian made landfall in The Bahamas; the strongest to ever hit the region. The impact has been devastating. There are now over 50 confirmed fatalities, with 1,300 people still listed as missing. 

When Hurricane Dorian hit the north of The Bahamas on 1st September 2019, wind speed reached up to 185mph (298km/h). The main towns were flooded by storm surges, metres above normal sea levels. The powerful winds and water ripped houses apart, tore boats from moorings and dragged vehicles and debris across the islands.

blue o two Bahamas

Dorian’s slow progress (only 1mph at times) concentrated the storm over the islands, increasing the extent of the damage. It’s the fifth Atlantic hurricane to reach the highest category in the last four years. 

On 12th September 2019, Blue O Two are pledged to raise $15,000 to aid the relief efforts in The Bahamas. We plan to purchase a Watermaker, with all remaining monies donated to Bahamian charitable organisations and local businesses.

To achieve this fundraising target:

  • £5,000 has already been donated by Blue O Two’s Directors & Investors
  • We can now accept donations from our customers. Any donations made will be matched by Blue O Two, up to a value of $200 per transaction.
  • Some upcoming trips are affected by this disaster aboard M/V Bahamas Master. For all customers choosing to rebook for a later date in The Bahamas (rather than cancelling), we will be donating $200 towards our target.
  • Our staff are being actively encouraged to suggest fundraising ideas – more on this to follow.

What else can you be doing? 

  • MAKE A DONATION. Even if you’re travelling with us elsewhere, we’re matching every single donation pledged, up to $200 per transaction. 
  • KEEP BOOKING HOLIDAYS. The Bahamas has already been decimated. The worst thing to happen now for the local economy is for tourism to falter too. Whether you come diving with us, or book with another tour operator, we really don’t mind. They WILL rebuild, and they need visitors to keep coming next year.
  • DON’T CANCEL YOUR TRIP. If you’re given the option, please consider moving to a later departure date in The Bahamas. As mentioned above, for everyone who does, we’ll donate $200.

Together, with our staff and customers, we hope to make a big difference for the people of The Bahamas.

Jason, Mark & Nathan

Two lucky people will be jetting off to The Bahamas next year to enjoy seven days diving on M/V Bahamas Master for just £10, thanks to an exciting fundraising lottery developed by Blue O Two to benefit its charity partner Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation.

Each £10 ticket sold via the Bite-Back website buys a chance to win two return flights, 7 days liveaboard diving in the crystal clear waters of The Bahamas, guaranteed shark encounters and memories that will last a lifetime. 

The prize, valued at over £6,500, brings the dream of diving in The Bahamas within the reach of a huge audience and, with tickets limited to just 1500, the chance of winning is greater than most prize draws. 

Managing Director for Blue O Two, Alyson Tyler, said: “We love the fact that this lottery is a win/win for divers and shark conservation. Everyone who buys a ticket is in with a chance of winning this amazing prize and, at the same time, everyone who buys a ticket is helping to fund Bite-Back’s important campaigns to end the trade and consumption of shark products. We hope it’ll capture the imagination of individuals, clubs and societies and raise urgent funds for the charity.”

COPYRIGHT ROBERT WILPERNI

Due to its abundance of sharks, The Bahamas is a bucket-list destination for many divers. Within its protected waters, divers can look forward to encounters with bull, tiger, lemon, great hammerhead and oceanic whitetip sharks.

Campaign Director for Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation, Graham Buckingham, said: “We hope the allure of winning this amazing prize is too big for divers to ignore. After all, two people are going to experience a holiday of a lifetime for the price of a pub lunch. This exciting competition is another terrific example of Blue O Two’s commitment to the marine environment and creating inspirational diving holiday experiences.”  

Tickets can only be purchased at www.bite-back.com/shop  

The winner will be picked at random on 26th October 2019 on the Blue O Two stand at the Birmingham Dive Show. All the terms and conditions can be found on both the Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation and Blue O Two websites.

blue o two is delighted to announce that single-use plastic water bottles will be removed from their Red Sea fleet vessels as of 7th May 2018.

blue o twoApproximately 6.28 billion household plastic bottles are not recycled every year in the UK and at least 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans annually. An estimated 50% of sea turtles have consumed plastic and sadly, the list of fish species that have been documented with plastic in or around their bodies is constantly growing.

These shocking statistics have led blue o two to make the decision to remove all 500ml personal water bottles and 1.5L shared meal water bottles from all sailings in the Red Sea.

Customers are invited to become part of the solution in fighting the growing plastic problem, and are encouraged to bring their own personal water bottle for their holiday. However, reusable water bottles are also available to purchase on board if required.

The global brand alliance comprising blue o two, Master Liveaboards, Siren Fleet and The Junk have made a collective pledge that all liveaboards within the fleet will be completely single-use plastic free by the end of 2019. The recent banning of plastic straws across the entire fleet, and the removal of single-use plastic water bottles in the Red Sea are just some of the first steps in this rapidly expanding environmental policy.

For more information then please visit their website at www.blueotwo.com or call 01752 480808.

Master Liveaboards

As divers in particular are aware, plastics in the environment are incredibly difficult to manage and often end up in waterways and oceans. This is not only unsightly but it is thought that plastics in the ocean are killing upwards of a million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals each year. These figures are rising and do not count other marine animals or, disturbingly, the much larger number of animals that are simply not found after death.Blue o TwoWorking together as part of the global alliance with Siren Fleet, The Junk “June Hong Chian Lee” and blue o two, Master Liveaboards will be working with local organisations in destinations, suppliers, NGO’s, government organisations, and many others in order to reach our goal across all vessels, local offices, and head offices.

The Junk

This is of course an enormous project and the banning of straws recently across all alliance vessels was only the first tiny step in this process. Updates on both our successes and challenges will be made regularly as the alliance moves forwards. As an alliance, we lead the way in the diving liveaboard industry to a cleaner environment for everyone.

The aim of Project Shark: Galapagos is to highlight the global issues facing sharks, with a Galapagos focus, as well as enjoying some of the most exciting dive sites the Galapagos Islands have to offer. The week will involve close encounters with sharks, rays and whale sharks (although these sightings cannot be guaranteed) with the possibility to observe them in their natural habitat.

As the endangered species list around the globe continues to grow, it is vital for those who are actively interested in the preservation of our marine environments and inhabitants to be given an opportunity to learn about efforts to protect our marine species. The Project Shark: Galapagos itinerary allows divers the unique opportunity to encounter endangered species in their own environment, providing an unparalleled opportunity to study their natural behaviour and aid future conservation efforts in support of marine conservation project with the Galapagos Conservation Trust. Dr Elke Bojanowski will conduct seminars giving divers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the biology and behaviour of sharks.

While humans may find the water temperature a bit cooler and the currents a bit stronger, sharks tend to love these conditions. Schools of scalloped hammerheads are commonly seen, with a further 32 species of sharks known to frequent these waters, including whale sharks!

Join blue o two on board for Project Shark: Galapagos in 2018:

20/08/2018 – Project Shark: Galapagos – M/V Galapagos Master (7 nights) –  £4043 per person*

*The package includes: internal transfers between San Cristobal airport (or local hotel) and the liveaboard on days of embarkation and disembarkation, full board accommodation in a standard cabin based on double occupancy (other cabin types may be available with a supplement), tea, fresh coffee from our espresso machine, fruit juice & soft drinks, diving with air fills, 12lt cylinder and weights, and minimum 2 land visits.

Project Shark is back! blue o two are extremely excited to announce a brand new Fiji itinerary from 2019.

Dive into tropical waters with flourishing shark populations on their brand new itinerary, Project Shark: Fiji. The aim of Project Shark is to highlight the global issues facing sharks, with a Fijian focus, as well as enjoying some of the most exciting dive sites that Fiji has to offer. Project Shark in Fiji will include a focus on manta rays as they can also be seen in this destination and are closely related to sharks. Encounters with endangered species allows divers to add a greater purpose to their liveaboard holiday.

blue o two Fiji

On board the beautiful S/Y Fiji Siren, this 10 night trip departing from the Darling family’s Volivoli Beach Resort on Vita Levu takes divers through the Bligh Waters. This itinerary will involve close encounters with sharks, with the possibility of diving with manta rays. Divers will be joined on board for the duration of this trip by our experienced blue o two Project Shark trip host, Dr Elke Bojanowski.

Project Shark is a perfect trip for anyone who has an active interest in the preservation of the marine environment. Divers will not only enjoy fantastic diving with some of the most fascinating pelagic animals on the planet, but will learn about globally endangered marine species and what, as divers, they can do to aid their protection. Dr Elke Bojanowski will conduct seminars giving divers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the biology and behaviour of sharks. During this trip, divers will be able to play a part in adding to valuable research efforts by the ‘Manta Trust’ who work towards the conservation of manta rays worldwide.

Founder of the ‘Red Sea Sharks Trust’, dive guide and marine biologist, Elke Bojanowski Ph.D, began the Longimanus Project in October 2004 and since this date she has been actively collecting underwater photographs and video-clips of oceanic whitetip sharks for catalogue, review and analysis. Since 2012 the project has expanded to become Red Sea Sharks and has increased its scope to include grey reef, whitetip reef, scalloped hammerhead, pelagic thresher and silky shark catalogues.

blue o two are therefore delighted to now expand their Project Shark itineraries to now include Fiji.

It’s August already and blue o two are delighted to bring their divers another fantastic Destination of the Month showcase! This time, attention turns to the pearls of the Indian Ocean, the magical Maldives!

blue o two first ventured to the Maldives several years ago, and now operate two beautiful liveaboards in the region. The Maldives is a stunning group of atolls that plays host to what can only be described as an underwater paradise. With tropical conditions all year round, scuba divers have the chance to enjoy an abundance of marine life, from manta rays and whale sharks, through to barracuda, tuna, and more than 700 different species of tropical fish dotted throughout the coral reefs.

M/Y blue Voyager, fresh from her mid-year dry dock, welcomes 26 divers on board and is the epitome of a spacious diving liveaboard. Complete with a custom-built 19m diving support vessel, blue Shadow, this outstanding liveaboard remains as a peaceful sanctuary in between diving, and each diver has an ample space in their own allocated station aboard the dhoni. With an ocean deck, numerous relaxation areas, and a Jacuzzi on board, M/Y blue Voyager is a fantastic option for anyone looking to venture to the Maldives.

The vessel boasts a beautiful sun deck, along with alfresco dining; the food is prepared by a fantastic Sri Lankan chef and guests will be blown away by his culinary delights!

Tekstreme Diving began in 1997 as a TDI facility, and is run by Cat Braun, a highly respected and experienced individual within the diving world. She has been leading technical diving expeditions in the Red Sea for the past 14 years and is highly qualified. She is currently an International Technical Training Director for SSI and an OC and CCR Technical Instructor with TDI, PADI and BSAC. Tekstreme has grown substantially over the years and is now one of the only active BSAC technical training facilities in Egypt.

blue o two are delighted to offer two new technical itineraries for 2018:

13th April – 20th April 2018: Best of Tec Wrecks: M/Y Red Sea Adventurer: £1279

31st August – 7th September 2018: Rocky & the SS Maidan: M/Y blue Horizon: £1549

The itineraries are purely technical diving safaris and there will be a limited amount of divers per trip to ensure that everyone has ample room for their technical diving equipment.

blueotwo-tekstreme

For all trips with Tekstreme, divers can be assured that a minimum of two highly qualified technical dive guides will be on board, more if courses are being delivered, along with surface support on all dives. The range of dive durations accommodate specific dive sites and all experience levels; entry level technical divers are catered for right through to 100m+ depending on the itinerary.

Custom gas mixes are available to suit specific diver requirements, as well as a range of technical diving equipment – this will be arranged by Tekstreme prior to departure to minimise stress. Divers will also be asked for their technical diving experience to ensure the best dive schedules can be delivered on board and if they would like to undertake any courses during the liveaboard.

Why not begin your technical diving journey in the Red Sea with Tekstreme and blue o two? Start your training, get qualified, and experience the technical diving of the Red Sea in safe hands and in the future, you’ll be able to move on to other adventurous diving locations with us including the deep wrecks in Truk Lagoon and the nuclear ghost fleet of Bikini Atoll.

A full range of technical courses with Tekstreme Diving (through BSAC, PADI TecRec, SSI & TDI) are available on request. If you would like more information, please contact us on +44 (0) 1752 480 808 or visit our website at www.blueotwo.com.
