Horizon 3 Liveaboard, Maldives
Horizon 3 invites you to explore both the well-trodden Central Atolls and the pristine Northern Atolls of the Maldives. Onboard, relaxation is paramount, with a spacious sun deck, sun loungers, and a jacuzzi, ensuring a blend of adventure and leisure. Guests can also delve into the local culture with excursions to uninhabited islands and enjoy a memorable beach barbecue.
Boat Interior and Exterior
The liveaboard accommodates 24 guests across 12 cabins, all featuring air conditioning and private bathrooms. Standard cabins with twin beds are on the lower deck, while deluxe cabins and the expansive master cabin are on the upper deck. Between dives, relax in the salon or take in the views from the upper deck, enhanced with sun loungers and a jacuzzi.
Dive deck
Equipped with two Bauer Marina compressors, a nitrox membrane, and both DIN and INT valves, Horizon 3 caters to all divers. The diving dhoni, capable of carrying 22 divers and 4 dive guides, handles all diving logistics, ensuring seamless underwater explorations. Nitrox is available for certified divers.
Safety and Navigation
Updated safety measures include emergency rafts, life vests, firefighting gear, emergency oxygen, and first aid kits. A 2022 upgrade added new smoke detectors in key areas, and dive guides are proficient in emergency procedures, ensuring a safe diving experience.
Diving Features
Horizon 3's itineraries cover the vibrant Central Atolls, offering a rich tapestry of coral reefs, thilas, and wrecks, frequented by mantas, Napoleon wrasse, and reef sharks. The Northern Atolls, including Lhaviyani and Baa, promise unique dives with vast overhangs, reefs, and thilas, home to abundant Napoleon wrasse and unicornfish.
When to Go
Diving in Male is spectacular year-round, with the best conditions from January to April, when water temperatures range from 27°C to 30°C (80-86°F). The Northern Atolls are ideal from December to May, offering calm seas and unparalleled diving adventures
