Really fun week with some amazing diving!
Such a great trip! Even with a slight hiccup of a typhoon that we had to deal with. We were well taken care of, and they put everyone's safety first. They also did the best they could to let us make up any missed dives by adding in some extra night diving. We had some great people on board and the best part was the staff and crew. Hilarious and fun and I can't wait to come back for another trip!

Een geweldigge week achter de rug! Zeker een aanrader voor iedereen. Zowel de boot als de kamers waren top! De crew is fantastisch. Ze helpen je overal waar nodig! De divemasters zien onderwater alles en nemen de tijd dat iedereen rustig kan kijken. We hebben 5 verschillende haaien gezien in deze trip. Special thanks to Greg and Axel.

Great diving in relaxed athmosphere with delicious food
Great diving: we saw many mantas, sharks, giant barracudas, turtles in a wonderland of corals, rocks and white sand. Great walls and lovely coral gardens in every dive spot. Nice and friendly crew, people you want to have as friends. And a great food - the cook must be a magician to prepare that food in a relatively small boat with a tiny kitchen. Is was more like a 5 star hotel. Relaxed, familiar athmosphere. I will definitely try to go on that boat again.

Great Visayan Liveaboard Trip Dec '24
Great crew and fantastic fellow divers. The dive sites were very varied and provided excellent marine life. The cruise master and dive masters were very familiar with the various dive sites. Pre-dive briefings were excellent - not only visually with drawings but also verbally with lots of information provided by Axel.

Transition trip from Cebu through Tubbataha to Puerto Princesa
The diving overall was excellent. We hung out with two whale sharks for about 15 minutes, and also saw two manta rays on the same dive. Anthony and Vic were most helpful in finding everything from pelagics to frogfish.

The safari was well thought out and had a good and transparent process. In general, the organization was statistical, but professional. Nevertheless, wishes could be addressed. The food was varied and special requests were perfectly catered for.

exceeds expectations !
The food was top notch. We had a variety of fish, western and local cuisine every night that was on point. Best food we’ve had on a liveaboard so far. After every dive we were greeted with a warm face towel - a first for us and such a nice luxurious touch! The crew had a positive energy that rubbed off on everybody and we had a really close knit group by the end of the trip. Axel and Greg were amazing dive guides and I will definitely be back on sea doors again to do their other Phillipino routes. Thanks team!

The best liveaboard I've been on so far!
My first time ever to see Hammerhead and Tigersharks. The reef is so beautiful and healthy. It's better than any aquarium! Also we saw great pelagics: Whaleshark and Mobula & Manta ray. The crew was always helpful and very, very kind. Nice boat and well maintained as well. We had a fun evening with BBQ on a tiny island and Pierlo gave us a video of our trip for free! Can totally recommend Seadoors!

super cool diving and a nice team
it was a very good experience: diving is easy and there's so much to see underwater! it's unbelievable how clean and lively the reef is! also the weather was super nice for our trip. but what also made this trip a blast are the crew and other guests onboard. it was a nice family-like atmosphere all the time. I enjoyed a lot. Also, what comes to diving, safety is on point and divemaster (and other divers too) are very attentive, which makes you forget any troubles and enjoy the beauty of Tubbataha reef. Big thanks to everyone, hope yo see you again somewhere underwater or on land ;)

Cozy and safe trip
Food is great, good mix of Asian food and western food. Carbin is quite well maintained, shower is great with good water pressure. Not that spacious, but good enough for less than 18 guests in total. Well organized for both diving and daily routines. Diving is quite safe although at the beginning of the trip I worried a bit of 1 dive guide leading 7 guests to where currents might be strong. While both the dive manager and dive guides are very experienced, ends up we didn't fight any difficult currents. Our group is super lucky that we met whaleshark, hammerhead, manta and a lot more, totally beyond my expectation.

Great experience on Seadoors
I just had a good positive experience with Seadoors (first week of June 2024). Rooms are clean and large enough for liveaboard standards - I was very comfortable (this is my 4th liveaboard). Overall diving organization was great, all dives well explained during the briefings, never a cancellation and strong attention to safety and planning. Food was good quality for liveaboard average as well. Passengers/ group was very international, with representation from all over the world. Dives were excellent too - in overall I recommend Seadoors and Tubbataha. Weather-wise, diving in early June was good. We basically only have 1 day of cloudy/ raining with 3-4 days of full sunshine.

I can definitely recommend the boat, especially because of the fantastic crew, despite the somewhat outdated ship.
"The barge is simply ugly" - all fellow divers agreed on that. In addition, it is not always and not everywhere particularly comfortable. But the crew, who can't do anything for their ship, and diving more than makes up for this circumstance. We made the long trip from Palawan via Tubbataha Reef to the Visayas. The weather, something that everyone was worried about, did not let us down. There were no manta rays or hammerhead sharks, and the whale sharks only in Oslob, but reef sharks were there at every dive, schools of fish that obscure the sunlight, fantastic corals and also impressive macro life. I don't think you can expect more.
