Amazing week in the maldives
I was really lucky and we were only 8 divers, so it felt way more cosy, than my previous Liveaboards. The boat was a little bit old and sometimes I had some trouble with some smells inside. Other than that, the week was amazing and I have seen soooo many things (whale shark, hammerhead, spinner sharks, guitarfish, manta, marble ray, trevallys, barracudas, and a lot of nudibranchs). The guides were really great and made it not only fun, but also a very safe experience.

Lots of beautiful dive sites, night dive with manta rays, very caring crew, and the excellent food (a lot of vegetarian for me as I don't eat fish)

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.

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.

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
