Beautiful liveaboard in the Maldives
Had a beautiful liveaboard that left nothing to be desired. The crew and dive guides went out of their way to make for a pleasant experience. A spontaneous route change, which was discussed with all divers, led to unforgettable dives with manta rays and whale sharks. We also got to see some sharks. A big thank you to the captain, the entire ship's crew and also the dive guides. That's exactly how I introduced my first liveaboard.An unforgettable experience with the Horizon 3.

A recommended choice for first time divers in Maldives.
It’s a very pleasant experience and economic choice for all-level divers. The schedule may not be so punctual with the team yet the choice is made on safety first priority. Solo traveler has no worries as people, both guests and crews, are friendly.

- The guide Steve is very caring and supportive. He was very professional in showing us routes and animals and tackling difficult weather situations. We were in storm for one night with the weather sudden change yet he showed profession and calmness that helped the whole team back to boat safe. He’s very responsive for whatever question and requires from team, also other guests on the boat. He cared a lot about his team and provided personal guidance and coach to every team member.. Crew is very friendly and supportive who spots guest’s needs and offer handful support whenever occurs.. Food is changing everyday with a western taste preference, providing diverse dessert options and a very comprehensive coffee machine..

I would definitely return – in fact, I will return to this boat!
I've been on several liveaboard safaris and have logged hundreds of dives, but this was my first trip to the Maldives. In terms of value for money, this was by far the best trip I've ever been on. Boat,cabin: Absolutely fine for the price – air-conditioned and clean. Comfortable places to rest! Dhoni was also very very spacios with sundeck. Crew: Exceptionally friendly, approachable, helpful in every way, funny, and professional. Food: Snacks were available throughout the day, unlimited drinking water, breakfast was buffet-style and also had made-to-order options for breakfast eggs. Lunch and dinner were served buffet-style. Drinks were available for a reasonable price (wine, beer, cocktails, soft drinks, etc.). I will truly miss this part – nowhere else I've been has offered such delicious food. Everything was fresh, a mix of local and international dishes – I absolutely loved it! Special thanks to the guys at the bar and for the chef for sharing some of the recipes! Tour guide and dive guides: Professional, patient, quick to assess the current conditions and adapt as needed. Incredible attitude – they really made the most out of every dive site. Our manta dive and shark feeding experiences were absolutely breathtaking! Special thanks to Shasha and Madhu (hope I spelled their names correctly). I would definitely return – in fact, I will return to this boat!

Great stay on Horizon 3
Had a fantastic week aboard. Everything was excellently planned and the organisation of both the boat and dive dhoni were great. Even when days didnt go to plan (weather, off season) the guides had great communication. The crew were definitely a highlight. The guides were friendly, funny and very well informed about the sites and the ecosystems. The interior crew were also fantastic. Boat common areas and cabins were well maintained. Food was very good and they made extra efforts to cater to dietary requirements and to set up a beautiful beach barbecue. We loved the opportunities to see wildlife right at the back of the boat, and the manta and shark dives the guides set up were fantastic. Dive groups were a little on the large size when we were there (6-7 in our group to one guide), but they normally have an extra guide on. The staff really made a lovely atmosphere aboard. Thank you so much!
