During the most significant technical diving event in the Caribbean, our guests enjoyed demos and tryouts with the newest equipment, presentations from renowned names in the industry, and lots of exciting and fun tec dives.
While it’s a fun, challenging and tasty experience for most, more than 20 divers have lost their lives during mini season in the last decade.
Through analysis of these tragic deaths, researchers at Divers Alert Network (DAN) have identified the most relevant contributing factors and most important safety practices for divers participating in the annual event.
These tips probably won’t surprise you, but sometimes the most basic precautions are the most likely to save a life.
This signals the end of an amazing and successful chapter for the tec diving at Buddy Dive. Mr.
The well-known Red Sea Blue Force 3 will make her last cruise in the Red Sea on November 19, 2022. On December 1st she will sail to the Maldives, where she will join the Blue Force Fleet schedule from March 25th, 2023, under the trade name Maldives Blue Force 3.
After more than 25 years of experience operating in the Maldives, Blue Force Fleet offers you the Maldives Blue Force One and the Maldives Blue Force 3, two of the best 'live aboard' vessels in this wonderful country, the Maldives.
And, as locations go, it is the best yet for Emperor, who are this year celebrating their 30th anniversary of diving in Egypt.
Their new shop in Marina City is situated among all the retail shops, hotels and restaurants on the Port Ghalib waterfront and is right next door to where the Emperor fleet is based.
They have all successfully completed their open water and advanced open water courses. A great achievement!
Especially now that Bonaire is open for tourism and many guests found their way back to Buddy Dive Resort and Belmar Oceanfront
Covid Heroes was an initiative put in place by Emperor Divers to recognize people who have stepped up during the pandemic by rewarding them with free liveaboard trips in the Maldives and the Red Sea.
Megumi – the second of the eight chosen Heroes to take up her trip - is a music therapist from Berlin who volunteered to work in her hospital’s Covid department and used her skills to help ease the suffering of those afflicted by severe Coronavirus complications.
The past 2 weeks, we saw the awesome launch of Phase 2 of our Youth Sponsorship Program.
We want to thank our fabulous sponsors below for creating these awesome opportunities for our youth!

His passing is incredibly unexpected and shocking to everyone who knew him and worked with him.
There are very few people that knew more, or were more passionate about the wrecks and the diving in Chuuk and Bikini. Anyone who dived with him will have felt his infectious enthusiasm. Everyone who dealt directly with him at Master Liveaboards and The Dirty Dozen felt it too.
