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!

I came here to celebrate my birthday, and while the trip started off a bit slow, it just kept getting better with each day. The absolute highlight was spotting a whale shark right beneath me while snorkeling an unforgettable! The crew and guides were fantastic, always friendly and helpful,my dive guide cha cha is like an aquaman once we are off the boat. I’d love to come back again truly a great adventure!

Overall a great experience
We had an absolutely spectacular manta night dive and many incredible day-dives! The food was great though some things were a little Spicey and it was clear the staff all take pride in their work and are always doing their best to go above and beyond for guests. Guides Yuri, Ayya, and Todo were spectacular and even helped and pointed things out to members of other groups underwater. Very good trip!

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..

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.
