Thank you for the wonderful trip!
Diving in the Maldives is always an adventure and a great pleasure! Even if the Horizon 3 is not the newest boat and they could do some more maintenance work ( f.e. on the Dhoni and the sunbeds ) the crew was a big gift. Maa‘dhu as the Cruise Director was always keeping up the good spirit on Board and Cha Cha as a Guide did a great job. Also the rest of the crew was always friendly and did a good job!The briefing was great and in detail and the diving often a very good lesson to improve your currents and channel diving skills. The guides tried very hard to make us see everything: all kind of sharks including lemonsharks, lepardsharks and tiger sharks 🥰 and whalesharks and also the healthy corals of the Deep South.It was a great pleasure having such experienced and locals guides!

- Maa’dhu as the Cruise Director and Cha Cha as the Training Guide did a great job!. They prepared us very well for the challenges of diving in the channels and with the current. Besides the „Big stuf“ they also showed us the beautiful corals in the deep South of Maldives.. The kitchen did a great job too. The food was tasty and even adapted for vegetarians 😊.

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!

Great experience for decent price.
Nurse Shar zoo was quite an experience, lots of sharks, whale shark snorkeling was also a success, despite high competition from other boats. Great food and wide variety of it. Highly recommend central route.

A recommended choice for first time divers in Maldives.
It’s a very pleasant experience and economic choice for all-level divers. The schedule may not be so punctual with the team yet the choice is made on safety first priority. Solo traveler has no worries as people, both guests and crews, are friendly.

- The guide Steve is very caring and supportive. He was very professional in showing us routes and animals and tackling difficult weather situations. We were in storm for one night with the weather sudden change yet he showed profession and calmness that helped the whole team back to boat safe. He’s very responsive for whatever question and requires from team, also other guests on the boat. He cared a lot about his team and provided personal guidance and coach to every team member.. Crew is very friendly and supportive who spots guest’s needs and offer handful support whenever occurs.. Food is changing everyday with a western taste preference, providing diverse dessert options and a very comprehensive coffee machine..
