What an amazing french owned Liveaboard. I already done 3 Trips with Seadoors, including the Transition Trip from Cebu to Puerto Princesa. To dive in the stunning Tubbataha Reef. I really enjoyed ever single time on that Boat. The Crew is just so nice and helpful. The food is even for a vegetarian very good, wnd that should mean w lot in the Philippines. 😊 Diving of course it's just mind-blowing, therefore I even went back to Tubbataha a second time. I wish I could go again. Special Thanks go to the Divemaster on the boat who know the reef so well and showed me all the Makro I wanted to see. Cruise director Anthony is very professional and knows what he is doing. Thanks a lot to everyone and would definitely recommend and hope to see you guys soon again.

An unforgettable diving adventure in Tubbataha with the incredible Seadoors team! This was, without question, the best diving experience of my life. Tubbataha is a diver’s paradise — remote, pristine, and absolutely teeming with life. On nearly every dive, we encountered grey reef sharks, hammerheads, whale sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, turtles, schools of jacks and barracudas, and vibrant coral walls that stretch as far as the eye can see. But what truly elevated this trip was the Seadoors crew. The dive masters are world-class — skilled, attentive, and deeply passionate. They adapted each dive to our individual comfort and experience levels, making us feel safe, confident, and excited every step of the way. The entire team was warm, accommodating, and full of great energy. From the early-morning briefings to the last dive of the day, everything ran like clockwork — always with a smile. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every meal on board felt like it came from a gourmet kitchen — fresh, varied, and incredibly satisfying after long days in the water. From flawless logistics and safety to the personal care and energy of the crew, Seadoors delivers an experience that’s both professional and heartfelt. If you're planning a dive trip to Tubbataha — don’t think twice. Go with Seadoors. You’ll come back with unforgettable memories and a deep love for one of the most incredible dive sites on Earth. 100% recommended — and I’ll definitely be back!

A FEAST FOR THE MIND & SOUL I have been diving around Asia and Oceania for the past 15 years and my time on the Seadoors Liveaboard was, without a doubt, one of the best experience I ever had! The crew, guides and team leader are seasoned, professional, very friendly and highly experienced and that's not even mentioning the amazing chef who could easily work in a gastronomic restaurant. Their love for the ocean is palpable in all their actions. The predive briefings, by the expedition leader Anthony, are thorough and extensive, they will satisfy even the most meticulous divers. Their dedication to SCUBA diving standards and safety was obvious throughout the week. The boat is spacious and comfortable, spending a week with them feel like diving with old friends. Photographs and macro enthusiasts, they will find those rare and unique underwater gems you are seeking! I highly recommend them. The perfect liveaboard for experienced or beginner divers alike.

A Deeply Disappointing and Unsafe Experience with Seadoors Liveaboard – Avoid at All Costs Booking my Philippines liveaboard trip with Seadoors was, without a doubt, one of the worst travel decisions I’ve ever made. What was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime diving adventure turned into a frustrating, deceptive, and potentially dangerous ordeal. From the very first interaction with the owner, Pierlo, there were warning signs—miscommunications, evasive responses, and a general lack of professionalism. Regrettably, I chose to overlook these and went ahead with the booking. At least I used an agency, which partly helped during that disastrous experience. In June, I joined what was supposed to be a 7-day liveaboard to the Tubbataha Reef. Due to bad weather, the trip was understandably canceled. However, rather than cancel the trip officially (which would require issuing refunds), Seadoors chose a manipulative route. We remained docked in Puerto Princesa Bay for two nights, doing a couple of really bad dives. Eventually, the cruise director, Antony, informed us the trip was canceled and we’d receive a formal cancellation notice by email. But in a blatant act of dishonesty, the letter we received later claimed we voluntarily left the boat and that the trip was never officially canceled—despite the fact the vessel never departed the bay. The dishonesty didn’t stop there. Several serious safety violations occurred on board: Forcing a Non-Certified Diver to Use Nitrox: One diver in our group wasn’t Nitrox certified, yet Antony insisted she use it, stating they wouldn’t prepare separate air tanks just for her. Pushing Unsafe Oxygen Exposure Limits: We were told to dive with a PPO2 of 1.6, even though standard recommendations (such as those from PADI) advise 1.4. Only after pressing the issue did Antony relent—though he added that i might be excluded from deeper dives (getting to 40 meters deep) had we made it to Tubbataha. Needless to say, this wasn't communicated upfront. No Tank Analysis: They didn’t allow us to analyze our own Nitrox tanks, which is a standard and critical safety protocol. Instead, the crew prepped everything, load the gear to the chase boats and later asked us to sign off on their reports. When we raised this concern, the cruise director said he trusted the crew more than the divers. This is absolutely unacceptable in any professionally run dive operators. On top of all this, the boat itself was in poor condition. Leaky toilets (had to close toilet water supply at night), and crew members being loud late at night and early in the morning, disturbing any chance of rest. I’ve seen other positive reviews for Seadoors and I believe some may have had good experiences. But know this: when something goes wrong, you cannot count on this operator to act with integrity or prioritize your safety. They showed complete disregard for the time, money, and effort we invested to be there. Please don’t risk your dream trip or your safety. Steer clear of Seadoors!
