Nice tour to the Northern Atolls incl. Hanifaru bay
In a nutshell: It was very nice trip to the north. The tour was sold as Manta Madness and it fully justified its title. The boat was in good shape. For sure if you take a very close look via magnifier then you will always find some points. A real plus was the charging station. Every diver had a box and socket for charging and intermediate storage. The selection of the dive spots was really good. It's always a challenge for the guide team if the boat is fully booked and the dive site is not so big. Most of the time our boat divers were alone at the dive site despite you can count up to 8 other boats in the surrounding area. The masterpiece of the dive crew happened in Hanifaru Bay. On shorthand the scheduled snorkeling in Hanifary bay was shifted since no or only a few Mantas were there. One day later the Mantas are back, and the snorkeling trip became awesome. Best value for the extra fee. Just remember the diving in Maldives is always open for surprises. Luckly, we had no wind and nice sunny weather in 'rain season', the surface of the sea was absolutely plain, but down in the water medium current showed up.

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.

Comfortable and safe
All within expectations of a LOB, though not a luxurious boat. Some dives were excellent, yet some were just okay. Suitable for new divers
