Fantastic trip with the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer
Brilliant diving: Very varied! From Deep Wall and Drift Dives to great night dives to the wreck of Pablo Escobar's plane.Stunning wildlife: The shark feeding was spectacular. In addition, countless reef sharks, turtles, rays and octopuses.Top crew & food: Super warm crew and extremely delicious food from chef Michael – the perfect refreshment after 4 dives a day.Great vibe: Great atmosphere on board, cool extras such as cliff jumps into the turquoise blue water and magical sunsets with after-work rum.An absolute recommendation for anyone looking for great diving, adventure and real Caribbean vibes!

Recommend to all
Great experience overall, would recommend to all. People onboard were all welcoming as an solo diver. We had an mix of ages and groups including children learning to dive for the first time. Food was amazing all week and the dive briefs were great. The diving itself is easy with only an couple of deep dives and no current. Would recommend for new divers or open water divers wanting to build their confidence on unguided dives.

The well-organized and well-planned schedule gave me a sense of security, and the decisions made by captain, who put safety first, were very reliable. I especially have great memories of washing machine draft diving. And the shark feeding is also very impressive.

Who could ask for more?
This was my first liveaboard I was nervous being a single diver but the professionalism of the crew put me at ease. It included detailed dive briefings and them acting as a dive buddy when needed. The shark feed was the next highlight of the trip because it was my first time experiencing anything like that. The boat had some issues during a storm but the crew remained calm addressed the problem quickly while keeping us informed. I was so impressed I booked another trip in May before the last day of the adventure.

Customer Service Focused
Every day was an adventure with the crew taking care of all your needs. From getting in and out of the water they are there to assist you and make the transitions easy. The dive briefs were detailed and coordinated in a professional manner, giving everyone an idea what to expect and what to look for. The meals and snacks were excellent, with excellent presentation and taste. Safety was always the number one priority for those in and out of the water. Congratulations to both the Captain and crew of the Morning Star, you have given me a memory of a lifetime as well as watched over me assuring I could return to my family back in Tennessee.

I was not prepared for the level of amazing on this trip!
This was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had in my life. I got super lucky with a perfect group of divers (all from a Scuba group from Knoxville) with the most intelligent, loving, adventurous people. We were all well acquainted within hours and swapped dive buddies as needed, no problem, based on dives. Crew was OUTSTANDING. Professional, fun, experienced people with an emphasis on safety. Could not have asked for a better trip.
