Refreshed Comfort and Expert-Led Diving in the Maldives
Refurbished in summer 2025, Horizon III is a spacious 36-metre liveaboard welcoming up to 25 guests in 12 en-suite cabins. Standard, Deluxe, and Master Deluxe categories are available, each providing air conditioning, generous storage, and a choice of twin or double beds.
Comfortable social areas offer plenty of space to enjoy the time between dives. Guests can relax in the indoor lounge, meet at the bar, enjoy the entertainment and board-game areas, or dine indoors or outside with panoramic views across the Maldivian seascape. Freshly prepared meals provide plenty of variety, and special dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. A complimentary glass of wine is served with dinner.
The spacious sun deck features loungers, mattresses, and a hot tub, while massages from the onboard masseuse offer an additional way to unwind. A complimentary stand-up paddleboard and kayak are available for exploring calm lagoons and nearby islands. Security cameras positioned around the vessel provide additional reassurance for guests travelling with valuable diving and photography equipment.
Diving takes place from a dedicated 18-metre support dhoni, keeping equipment and dive operations separate from the main vessel. The dhoni provides generous preparation and storage space, individual setup stations, camera-rinsing facilities, and Nitrox for certified divers. Its three-person crew supports smooth daily operations, while an onboard Automated External Defibrillator adds to the safety equipment available.
Cruises of seven to fourteen nights explore the central, northern, and southern atolls of the Maldives. Depending on the itinerary and season, encounters may include manta rays, reef sharks, eagle rays, stingrays, turtles, and whale sharks.
Horizon III is supported by a highly experienced team, with dive guides who have explored the Maldives for more than 15 years and a captain with over three decades of local knowledge. Their understanding of the atolls, currents, and seasonal conditions helps guests experience rewarding dive sites while avoiding the busiest areas whenever possible.
