Our Story
Blue Deep Open was founded in 2013 by a group of passionate Maldivian anglers who believed the Indian Ocean deserved a world-class fishing tournament. What started as a 20-boat weekend competition has grown into the region's most prestigious angling event.
We celebrate the sport, the ocean, and the community — welcoming everyone from first-time anglers to seasoned professionals. Every cast counts. Every catch tells a story.
