Beautifull dives and good vibes but a bit lacking in comfort, lots of hidden/extra costs be aware
Beautifull dives, good vibes on board. But cabin was smelly, AC did not work near the end of the trip, food was mediocre and bland. Lots of extra costs at the end

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.

3rd time on this boat, love it!
Each time/trip the dive guides were different but they are always very helpful and make every dive an awesome experience. Maldivian reefs are gorgeous, you never get tired of them. Highly recomend this boat and destination. This time it was the central route.

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.

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!

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..
