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.

It's all worth it
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!

What a wonderful days with Horizon 3
우선 제가 배에 탑승 전 많은 질문을 이메일로 보냈었는데 liveaboard 측의 빠른 회신과 안내가 정말 좋았어요. 우리팀을 맡아주었던 다이빙 가이드 Yuri는 정말 경험 많고 든든하고 매너 좋고 정이 많은 사람이예요. 저는 이번 여행을 계기로 다이빙의 매력에 푹 빠졌습니다. 저는 김치 없이 못사는 한국인이라 햇반에 라면과 김치도 가져갔는데 여럿이 나눠먹기도 하고 참 좋았습니다. ㅎㅎ 배에 모든 직원들이 참 친절해요. 딱 한가지 조금 신경쓰였던건 연초담배를 많이 피우는데 그건 제가 이해합니다. 왜냐하면 직원들의 몇 없는 낙이니까요... 그래도 좋았던 것들에 비하면 이건 극히 작은 부분입니다. 저는 강력추천합니다. I have been to Maldives many times. However, this trip with Horizon 3 was special and it will be an unforgettable memory in my life. Mostly i really appreciate our team dive guide Yuri and the rest of the crew. Diving: Yuri who's very experienced and thoughtful dive guide, always kept an eye on us and gave us the help we needed at the right time. We've met a bit of a strong current once, but with his help, we were always relieved. And I fell in love with diving through this trip. He took good care of our team until the end. Diving equipment: I rented all diving equipment. There were no problems. Food and Housekeeping : All crews at Horizon 3 were very friendly. Meals and snacks provided three times a day were more or less satisfactory, but served menu in a similar pattern. I prepared extra food and snacks myself That was a great idea. Because 7 nights are not that short. However, the fish barbecue on the island was really good. Housekeeping was comfortable even in a really humid environment as the room was cleaned several times a day and the towels were changed. The time I spent with Horizon 3 was really happy. Thanks to everyone. I highly recommend. You won't regret it with them!!

Unforgettable stay
I took a 14 day cruise from the south of the Maldives to Male Thanks to Maa'dhu and Denis for all these beautiful dives Sharks galore and beautiful encounters with eagle rays in particular The only downside would be a cabin a bit old-fashioned but personally I came for some beautiful dives and they were beautiful The atmosphere was excellent, the food varied and of quality Thank you to all the crew of the horizon for this beautiful vacation
