Comfortable and safe
All within expectations of a LOB, though not a luxurious boat. Some dives were excellent, yet some were just okay. Suitable for new divers

3rd time on this boat, love it!
Each time/trip the dive guides were different but they are always very helpful and make every dive an awesome experience. Maldivian reefs are gorgeous, you never get tired of them. Highly recomend this boat and destination. This time it was the central route.

Amazing Liveaboard Trip
We have spent a week on the Blue Horizon III as a couple. But you could also join the boat as a single traveler because you get to know so many people from all over the world. The diving was also very nice. We have been on different places and saw amazing things just line sharks, mantas, many many different fishes, octopus, scorpion fish and many many more. Between the dives and the food you can have a chat or take a good rest in your comfy room or somewhere else on the boat. We loved this week and would book a trip with the Horizon Blue again.

Great stay on Horizon 3
Had a fantastic week aboard. Everything was excellently planned and the organisation of both the boat and dive dhoni were great. Even when days didnt go to plan (weather, off season) the guides had great communication. The crew were definitely a highlight. The guides were friendly, funny and very well informed about the sites and the ecosystems. The interior crew were also fantastic. Boat common areas and cabins were well maintained. Food was very good and they made extra efforts to cater to dietary requirements and to set up a beautiful beach barbecue. We loved the opportunities to see wildlife right at the back of the boat, and the manta and shark dives the guides set up were fantastic. Dive groups were a little on the large size when we were there (6-7 in our group to one guide), but they normally have an extra guide on. The staff really made a lovely atmosphere aboard. Thank you so much!

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.

What a wonderful days with Horizon 3
우선 제가 배에 탑승 전 많은 질문을 이메일로 보냈었는데 liveaboard 측의 빠른 회신과 안내가 정말 좋았어요. 우리팀을 맡아주었던 다이빙 가이드 Yuri는 정말 경험 많고 든든하고 매너 좋고 정이 많은 사람이예요. 저는 이번 여행을 계기로 다이빙의 매력에 푹 빠졌습니다. 저는 김치 없이 못사는 한국인이라 햇반에 라면과 김치도 가져갔는데 여럿이 나눠먹기도 하고 참 좋았습니다. ㅎㅎ 배에 모든 직원들이 참 친절해요. 딱 한가지 조금 신경쓰였던건 연초담배를 많이 피우는데 그건 제가 이해합니다. 왜냐하면 직원들의 몇 없는 낙이니까요... 그래도 좋았던 것들에 비하면 이건 극히 작은 부분입니다. 저는 강력추천합니다. I have been to Maldives many times. However, this trip with Horizon 3 was special and it will be an unforgettable memory in my life. Mostly i really appreciate our team dive guide Yuri and the rest of the crew. Diving: Yuri who's very experienced and thoughtful dive guide, always kept an eye on us and gave us the help we needed at the right time. We've met a bit of a strong current once, but with his help, we were always relieved. And I fell in love with diving through this trip. He took good care of our team until the end. Diving equipment: I rented all diving equipment. There were no problems. Food and Housekeeping : All crews at Horizon 3 were very friendly. Meals and snacks provided three times a day were more or less satisfactory, but served menu in a similar pattern. I prepared extra food and snacks myself That was a great idea. Because 7 nights are not that short. However, the fish barbecue on the island was really good. Housekeeping was comfortable even in a really humid environment as the room was cleaned several times a day and the towels were changed. The time I spent with Horizon 3 was really happy. Thanks to everyone. I highly recommend. You won't regret it with them!!

A fabulous way to live and dive on the sea!
My husband and I had a fabulous trip on this boat. We met divers from around the world and future friends. Many good dives, but the visibility could have been better on some dives. My goal was to see a whale shark, but we didn’t, though they are wild! Maybe next time. The boat boys were very knowledgeable about the equipment. I would highly recommend anyone to try a liveaboard, and blue horizon 3 lived up to the expectations! Thanks…
