My week on a Horizon 3
All of the staff is extremly friendly, super nice, great people. Food is realy great, super fresh, we caught tuna on a daily basis and had ceviche and grilled tuna for lunch. The dives are great, locations adjustable depending on the conditions for the best possible experience. Rooms are nice, cleaned daily. Island visits and bbq is a great bonus.

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.

it was a great trip and I would like to come back and do the south atolls. the night dive with the nurse sharks swimming among us was probably my favourate dive. our dive guide Shadow was also very good in taking care of my wife who was having problems equalizing. He was very patient and kind to her

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
