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.

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.

Awesome diving in diverse sites
Tremendous diversity of shapes, colors and sizes of reef and wall corals (hard and soft), fish, anenomes, urchins, nudibranchs, etc. Thresher, hammerhead, whale sharks were great to see, but the highlight was everything else. And having Thomas Vignaurd's lectures was truly special; I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of it.

Superb diving from a decent liveaboard
A great week at Tubbataha Reef. Superb diving. Seadoors is a dive boat designed by a diver for divers. The hull cuts through the water, the dive deck is well designed, the dive briefings were high quality and the diving is world class.

I can definitely recommend the boat, especially because of the fantastic crew, despite the somewhat outdated ship.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.

Whale not included! Enjoy the macros
Seadoors was a very special trip for me. The diving was beautiful, with lots of macro life and nudibranchs. Vic, our guide, was really good at spotting the tiny weird creatures I would never find by myself, and that made the dives much more interesting. The food was one of the best parts of the boat: generous, tasty, and always there when we needed it after diving all day. The shared cabin was the hardest part for me. The setup is not very balanced: one person sleeps in a double bed, while the other (me) gets a much smaller upper bed, right in front of the windows, paying the same price. I had the upper bed, and honestly, it was not very comfortable. The social side was also a bit mixed for me. People often switched to French, even when everyone around could speak English. I am not a native English speaker either, so I understand language comfort, but sometimes it made me feel a little outside of the group. Still, overall, I’m really happy I did this trip. The biggest moment was seeing and swimming with a whale — something I had dreamed about for a long time. Of course, that was pure luck and not part of what anyone can promise on a trip, but it made the experience unforgettable.

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 ;)
