Great diving, great crew, great food
The diving was awesome, as always the sharks & other big stuff aren’t always there, but when the blue was quiet, there was always plenty to see on the pristine reef. The dive deck is a little small, but highly organised & functional, thanks to a very efficient crew. Meals were a highlight, the quality & variety of the food was excellent.

Good Boat with safe diving
The highlight of my trip was the owner of the boat took personal responsibility to get me to the boat as I had missed my flight due to storms in Dubai. Besides that everything was run like clockwork. Really good crew who anticipated your next requirement. I will dive with this boat again for the just the whole good feeling when on a dive trip. Liveaboard.com were excellent with connecting all the dots to get me there. Theirs customer service is awesome. Thanks Guys.

super cool diving and a nice team
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 ;)

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.

The best liveaboard I've been on so far!
My first time ever to see Hammerhead and Tigersharks. The reef is so beautiful and healthy. It's better than any aquarium! Also we saw great pelagics: Whaleshark and Mobula & Manta ray. The crew was always helpful and very, very kind. Nice boat and well maintained as well. We had a fun evening with BBQ on a tiny island and Pierlo gave us a video of our trip for free! Can totally recommend Seadoors!

The safari was well thought out and had a good and transparent process. In general, the organization was statistical, but professional. Nevertheless, wishes could be addressed. The food was varied and special requests were perfectly catered for.

exceeds expectations !
The food was top notch. We had a variety of fish, western and local cuisine every night that was on point. Best food we’ve had on a liveaboard so far. After every dive we were greeted with a warm face towel - a first for us and such a nice luxurious touch! The crew had a positive energy that rubbed off on everybody and we had a really close knit group by the end of the trip. Axel and Greg were amazing dive guides and I will definitely be back on sea doors again to do their other Phillipino routes. Thanks team!

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.

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.

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.

Great diving in relaxed athmosphere with delicious food
Great diving: we saw many mantas, sharks, giant barracudas, turtles in a wonderland of corals, rocks and white sand. Great walls and lovely coral gardens in every dive spot. Nice and friendly crew, people you want to have as friends. And a great food - the cook must be a magician to prepare that food in a relatively small boat with a tiny kitchen. Is was more like a 5 star hotel. Relaxed, familiar athmosphere. I will definitely try to go on that boat again.

Amazing tubbataha diving
The diving at Tubbataha is great - no people. All the big stuff - hammerheads, whalesharks, mantas, silver tip sharks (plus loads of grey reefs / white tips / schools of barracuda and jacks). Not so much macro. The dive guides are great - they find everything. And largely prepare and move all equipment for you (unless you want to do yourself). Food was amazing! The boat seems to largely attract an older audience (mostly aged 50 upwards). So positive, or less positive depending upon your own age!

Pre-dive briefings were excellent - not only visually with drawings but also verbally with lots of information provided by Axel.
