Vessel Layout
The Seadoors is arguably the smallest vessel offering scuba diving cruises in the Philippines. That being said, the experience offered is much more personal and customizable. Indeed, there is not much comparison to be made between the Seadoors and the other massive yachts cruising the Philippines. The closest one to the Seadoors is the Atlantis Azores. Hence, it sails about the same itinerary and offers comparable accommodation standards.

Superb journey on the Seadoors! The owners and the staff are really nice, always helpful and friendly but yet very professional. The boat has a very personal touch, like the owner’s stuff there and there so it can be uncomfortable at first I guess but then you just get used to it. The food was flavorful and various. The boat is rather comfortable and clean but it does show it’s age, and uplift would do the thing!
As for diving, that of course is the best part and we’ve been lucky! We’ve got schools of barracudas, mantas, many sharks, turtles and of course the coral is gorgeous! Either the walls, the coral gadens, etc. Simply stunning, much more vibrant than thailand if i have to compare.
Pros : Competent and adorable Filipino staff on board . Good food
Dive deck small but still ok
Beautiful dives , some pristine sites. Awesome variety of marine life with both soft and hard corals.
Cons : stagnant odors in cabin and mildew .Some proactive treatment should be considered before guests board the vessel .
Dive briefings are just pathetic and unintelligible
If you are not French speaking , pick another liveaboard as the guy in charge , whose English proficiency is close to none will make you feel like you do not belong there and merely takes care of French speaking clients.
We have been 4 times on Seadoors. The first 3 times were great and that’s why went for a fourth time last April. The owner was not on board. The result was a totally negative experience e except for the food which was still nice. Crew attitude negative. Cruise director totally incompetent with dive briefings which looked more like fooling the divers, than give them a briefing. Worse was that we informed the owner about this very bad experience, copying our end-of-the-cruise review, and he was totally indifferent to what we said. NEVER AGAIN!
Been here 3 times and always a great experience. The staff are attentive and very helpful. The dive briefing is informative in english and in french. The food is amazing, different cuisine every night. We did Tubbataha and Visayas Cruise which is very different kinds of dives and always good. Would love to come back next year when pandemic is over.
