My week on a Horizon 3
All of the staff is extremly friendly, super nice, great people. Food is realy great, super fresh, we caught tuna on a daily basis and had ceviche and grilled tuna for lunch. The dives are great, locations adjustable depending on the conditions for the best possible experience. Rooms are nice, cleaned daily. Island visits and bbq is a great bonus.

Happy Dive holiday on Horizon 3
it was a great trip and I would like to come back and do the south atolls. the night dive with the nurse sharks swimming among us was probably my favourate dive. our dive guide Shadow was also very good in taking care of my wife who was having problems equalizing. He was very patient and kind to her

Relaxed diving with sharks and rays
It is a different diving experience than the Red Sea, for example. Less color and sight and small fish but for the big really recommended

A fabulous way to live and dive on the sea!
My husband and I had a fabulous trip on this boat. We met divers from around the world and future friends. Many good dives, but the visibility could have been better on some dives. My goal was to see a whale shark, but we didn’t, though they are wild! Maybe next time. The boat boys were very knowledgeable about the equipment. I would highly recommend anyone to try a liveaboard, and blue horizon 3 lived up to the expectations! Thanks…

Amazing Liveaboard Trip
We have spent a week on the Blue Horizon III as a couple. But you could also join the boat as a single traveler because you get to know so many people from all over the world. The diving was also very nice. We have been on different places and saw amazing things just line sharks, mantas, many many different fishes, octopus, scorpion fish and many many more. Between the dives and the food you can have a chat or take a good rest in your comfy room or somewhere else on the boat. We loved this week and would book a trip with the Horizon Blue again.

Great experience and good service
Despite it not being high season and not having seen the mantas in the only attempt we were going to have, they tried hard until the end to please us and we were extremely lucky to be able to see them on the last dive.
