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

Would recommend; lovely crew, food, and dives! Safe and fun.
This was my favorite liveaboard so far! The crew was outstanding, always cheery and to be honest made me feel the most relaxed/safe preparing going into the dives each time; which hasn't always been the case when feeling rushed or stressed to get ready for dives on other boats.

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!

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!

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
