Highlights
Join the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of All Star Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the All Star Liveaboards Fleet, offers 3 dormitory-style cabin areas with 18 bunks and 3 shared bathrooms. Each cabin area has AC, and all are sectioned off with privacy curtains, similar to a sleeper cabin on a train. There is a choice of double or single bunks. Buffet meals with picnic-style dining are served in the air-conditioned salon, and all meals, snacks, and drinks, including beer, wine, and rum punch, are included during your stay.
All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer trips include diving with sharks, exhilarating drift diving, beautiful walls, and blue holes around the Exuma Cays. There is no set itinerary aboard the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer; the captain and crew will take the boat where the conditions and weather are best. Plenty of non-diving activities are on offer, so your time above the water will be just as memorable as below.

Best trip ever!
The crew was absolutely fantastic (Hoppy, Olivia, Gunnar, Tom & Kirsten)! I was really nervous at first cause never spent that much time on a boat but quickly got reassured! The diving briefs were amazing & easy to understand what we had to do & what we could see. Simply the best experience of my life & already missing it!

You'll never regret booking this trip and I can't wait for my next adventure with this crew!
This was my first live aboard and I was not exactly sure to expect. But Captain Alex and the rest of the crew put me at easy from the time we boarded the Morning Star. Captain Alex fully explained every leg of the journey and I felt completely safe the entire way, even over the rough sea crossings. My goal was to burn some calories with four dives a day, but Garett foiled that plan by supplying 3 awesome meals and great snacks, that I couldn't resist, each day! We all looked forward to the next marvelous selection and were perplexed at the magic Garett created in such a small kitchen space! Candela was the perfect Dive Master and she prepped and executed 27 dives for 19 divers flawlessly. All while teaching Advanced Open Water and Deep Dive Specialty (which I took during the week) at the same time. Each dive was like a new experience, even when we re-visited a location, and I knew what to look for beforehand which made the dive that much more enjoyable. I most enjoyed the shark feeding dive and the drift dive (which we need more than one next time!!) the most. Both were my first experiences with each and I felt safe, knowable about what to do, and maximized the moment for me. Martyna was a great dive guide and first mate, who pointed out a lot of sea life that I would have missed had she not pointed these amazing (and small) creatures to me on dives. Josh kept the Morning Star in tip top shape and we never experienced an issue, so that make him one helluva engineer. We had an eclectic group of divers, but we all blended so well and had a great time together. Every one was helpful, willing to serve as a dive buddy, watched out for each other on dives, had a great time socializing throughout the trip and REALLY took advantage of our last night out on the island when we docked. I would highly recommend booking with Blackbeards, who made the booking easy, follow-ups leading up to my arrival to keep me informed, transportation needs to.from airport/hotel, and was a real value for the money considering everything to received for an entire week! Needless to say that I'm now hooked and will seek to do a live aboard annually! However, it's going to be hard for the next crew to top the experience of this past trip on the Morning Star!

The best bang for your buck
This is a great diver's liveaboard experience. You have everything you need and no extra fuss or mess. You get about 4 dives per day and the locations are excellent. The crew works hard to make your trip an excellent experience. They have almost everything you need on that 65 foot boat. On my trip there divers of all levels from Open Water to Instructors. The dive sites were for all levels also. If you like to prep, dive, rest and repeat this boat and trip is for you.

First & Best Liveaboard Experience!
I never been on a liveaboard before and this just made my whole year! The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable about the boat and dive sites, and kept us safe even when the wind picked up. We did miss a few dives due to weather, but that didn't take away from any experience - the crew provided us amazing services and there were many solo divers whom we all became friends with - the entire boat felt like one big happy family and it was an amazing experience overall!
