Highlights
Join the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the Blackbeard's 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.
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 Sea Explorer liveaboard; 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.

Amazing First Liveaboard Trip!
This trip was honestly such an amazing experience. You board the boat with more than 20 strangers and leave with new friends! Dive spots were incredible - some of the best diving we have done in the Bahamas! Food was great and crew made it even better. Highly recommend!

Time of my life, I will be returning. Thank you Cpt. Chris!!
The crew were phenomenal at their jobs above and below the water (Annie's smile lights up the room and shes so knowledgeable, Barry is so kind and a great dive instructor, Carson's laugh was contagious, Eli is filled with such positive energy and always willing to help out, Gunnar toiled away tirelessly in the gally making unbelievably delicous food every day, and Cpt. Chris is a salty dog with a heart of gold who made us all feel at ease). All of the crew were very approachable and they all tell great stories, the food was spectacular (thank you Gunnar), the music was on point setting the mood at every time of day, the epic dive sites were well chosen and incredibly fun and easy to dive, the accommodation are close to what you'd expect from a hostle but way better (bunk beds, small/medium size shared dining room/kitchen/lounge inside, open deck for socializing and music and relaxation, delicious rum punch nightly and even a beer tap and wine options), the cleanliness was immaculate and the ship was well maintained. Did I mention that all inside rooms have air conditioning?

First time diving leading to a life changing experience
My first time diving after getting certified at a lake! An easy, yet exciting destination if you've done well with the basics. It was an awesome adventure, I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted out of life. Had amazing memories with the most interesting and kind people. Saw insane wildlife that I thought I'd never see in my life. It was surreal at times. I got AOW certified by Candela Ferrara and she was a great teacher, I felt like I really improved my buoyancy because of her. I can't wait for another journey like this. I'll be going on one again soon!

Best liveaboard hands down
The crew were all quite knowledgeable about the dive sites from a dive POV, Species POV, and conservation POV. There was so much marine life and I cannot wait to go back!

very good but understand the limitations before signing up.
I really enjoyed it. You have to know what you’re signing up for… the boat is super basic and super cramped. We had 13 guests on board… apparently it can take 24. With 24 it would not work well. Anyway the crew is great and it is a good time. Diving is meh to quite good. Food is good. If you’re solo this is the trip to take. If you’re going as a couple then spend more and choose a different boat. My two cents
