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!

I came here to celebrate my birthday, and while the trip started off a bit slow, it just kept getting better with each day. The absolute highlight was spotting a whale shark right beneath me while snorkeling an unforgettable! The crew and guides were fantastic, always friendly and helpful,my dive guide cha cha is like an aquaman once we are off the boat. I’d love to come back again truly a great adventure!

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 😊.
