World Heritage

Shark airport is definitely worth 4 dives. Beer from the cooler on the chaseboat after our last dive was really fancy. Food was mostly very good. Crew and guides super friendly. BUT, chasing after sharks in the blue each day will not become a favourite for me. Some shade on the sundeck would have been helpful as well as a little more respect for sleeping demands

Amazing tubbataha diving

The diving at Tubbataha is great - no people. All the big stuff - hammerheads, whalesharks, mantas, silver tip sharks (plus loads of grey reefs / white tips / schools of barracuda and jacks). Not so much macro. The dive guides are great - they find everything. And largely prepare and move all equipment for you (unless you want to do yourself). Food was amazing! The boat seems to largely attract an older audience (mostly aged 50 upwards). So positive, or less positive depending upon your own age!

beautiful coral garden

1. the reef park enviorment is protected very well, you could see many fish groups, such as sweetlips, jackfish, barracude etc. 2. the coral garden is beautiful, along the wall, there are differnet sea fans. 3. it is easy to meet with reef sharks. 4. the wave is somewhat big on the boat.

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!

Great dives and great meetings

The dive sites are really great and with such good guides it's easy to see how beautiful it were. The boat is not luxuary but the essential is here and the crew and guides are great and always doing their best for us. A very good trip.

This is a boat for divers, don't expect 5 star luxury but do expect a friendly and knowledgable crew. We had a few problems with the weather but the crew made immediate alterations to maximise our diving experience. Excellent value for money and thoroughly recommended.

Whale Sharks and Thresher Sharks

There is much to like about Seadoors. The boat is in good condition and comfortable although the loungeroom is not really available for relaxing as some of the crew sleep there. So don't expect to watch videos after dinner or between dives. The cabins are, of course, small but not as small as I've seen. I travelled alone and was bunked up with another woman - unfortunately the cabins are really not designed for two single people - to access the top bunk and storage you have to stand on the bed below. But the port holes next to the top bunk were large and opened. Fantastic! The dive deck is small but good - the chase boats are great including custom designed and built ladders which make it really easy to get back into the boat - really appreciate that. And the crew were very helpful. Unfortunately we didn't get introduced to most of the crew which I would have liked. I wasn't all that impressed with the diving - some of it was great - and I loved the snorkel with the whale sharks. The coral was good but I'm not really into micro-stuff and there just weren't that many fish. Don't get me wrong - I'd say half the dives were great - but that means half were a bit ordinary - especially if like me you don't like night muck dives. Thresher shark experience was pretty under-whelming - three dives and saw maybe three sharks and only one close enough to count. My biggest problem with the Seadoors experience is that the owner/operator runs it all a little unstructured - so I never had any advance notice of when dives were likely to be. I really like a schedule so that I can work out when I have time for a nap and when I don't. I know things can change depending on weather and tides an current but I'd really like best guess info in advance. The owner/operator is French and a great diver. He targets the European market - pricing all in Euros which was confusing for me as an Aussie - by the time I'd been told everything in Euros (some of which additional expenses I didn't expect) and then told what the exchange into Pesos was (and nothing was ever written written down for me - just verbal) and I was trying to manage my money - I felt all confused and a bit resentful. So, overall the trip wa still an 8/10 - of course - I got to go diving somewhere fantastic for 5 days - but just a few things to be aware of.
