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.

High value dive trip
This was my 6th trip and every trip has been great. Wonderful crew and they worked hard to give us good dives with challenging weather. I plan to make this an annual or semiannual trip.

Go on this trip
Absolutely the best value for your money on a diving trip I’ve ever experienced. I think we also got very lucky with our cook Gunnar, an incredible cook. Felt like better than restaurant quality dining

Great value for the money liveaboard with excellent crew, instructors, food and briefings
This was a great overall liveaboard experience. The crew was excellent, helpful, empathetic and very professional and they delivered some of the best briefings I ever had. The fact that they actvely tried to prepare you to be a better diver is an extra that I had never had before and will look for from now on. The food on the sea explorer was some of the best I had in Nassau. You'll see this in many reviews and trust me, it is a highlight. There's also downsides that you need to be ready for: the Sea Explorer is a 2-level sailboat so the "living" space is limited. We spent most of the trip on the top deck, the weather was fantastic, and sharing stories with the crew and rest of the divers. The cabins are shared and they are bunk beds. Also the "storage space" is extremely limited so be ready to limit the amount of clothes you'll pack (you'll be on vacation on a boat, you will not need so much :) ). The crew also organized some "side activities" to enjoy the Bahamas while strictly keeping the 4-dives-a-day schedule. Great value for the money.

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?

Great crew, great diving, great time.
My time on Blackbeard’s Sea Explorer was amazing. The crew were all so fun to interact with, the food was amazing every time, and the conditions we had during the trip were perfect. I really enjoyed the way that we are left to navigate the dive sites ourselves with a buddy instead of having to follow a dive master. The shark feeding was the highlight, though it would have been nice to go to a couple more sites that are known for sharks too. I also really would have liked the option to dive with nitrox, as that was not available. Overall, I highly recommend this live aboard.
