Seadoors

M/V Seadoors is a comfortable, European-operated, no frills Philippines liveaboard tour boat with a focus on diving. Both nitrox and rebreather facilities are available for certified divers during the variety of trips offered in the Sulu Sea, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Malapascua and the Visayas.

The 12 Seadoors liveaboard crew members are on hand to ensure that your Philippines diving tour experience is a memorable one. All cabins are air conditioned, have windows for natural lighting and fresh sea air and have en-suite bathrooms. Meals are buffet style and make the most of the fresh local fare, with added touches of French cuisine, and can be complemented with wines from the boat's cellar.

MV Seadoors is a mid sized 25m steel mono-hull liveaboard, yet you won't feel cramped. You can choose to relax or socialise between dives at one of the many communal areas. The spacious sun deck has reclining loungers, a shaded outdoor lounge is perfectly situated at the bow to take in the views, the covered dining area offers shade and shelter from the sea spray. If it's respite from the tropical heat you seek, the air-conditioned saloon is the perfect spot to prepare your camera gear at the dedicated charging station, or kick back and relive your spectacular dives on the flatscreen TV.

The dive deck is functional and ticks all the boxes. Each diver has an individual basket for personal gear, and access to the 2 tenders is via the platform. This is a simple transition and you will not have to navigate stairs or ladders. Underwater scooters are available for the Visayas trips. Following each dive you will be welcomed with a warm towel after rinsing off under the dive deck shower. Your camera gear can be rinsed in the dedicated rinse tanks, and any maintenance can take place on the convenient camera workbench. The most difficult part of your M/V Seadoors Philippine diving cruise will be to decide which tour to book.
