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.

Great experience for decent price.
Nurse Shar zoo was quite an experience, lots of sharks, whale shark snorkeling was also a success, despite high competition from other boats. Great food and wide variety of it. Highly recommend central route.

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.

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

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.
