First time on board, kicked off a new passion.
In a word diving with blackbeards was AMAZING. The food was delicious, the crew beyond friendly, and the dive instruction top notch. I got my advanced open water while I was onboard and I am excited to continue my diving journey. I am already planning my next trip through them to do it again.

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.

Camping at sea
The first time on a sailing liveaboard boat. Space is quite limited but diving is still very good. Most of the dives are shallow, ideal for beginners. Dives can be a bit repetitive, deep dives worth but they are few in the week. Considering the price it is worth.

Really enjoyable week
Great value, despite tough weather still got in a number of excellent dives. The crew is well organized, accommodating, and welcoming. The food and drink was much better than expected. I like that we have a dive master who helps plan the dives, but not necessarily lead them....we got to do our own diving. Shark dive was cool. I hope to be back.

Shark feed was spectacular! The small space available on the vessel makes conversation easier with other divers. I liked how the captain proposed different activities that were voted democratically among divers (bonfire, pig island...)

Unforgettable
Everything was a highlight. The crew was always professional, helpful and incredibly friendly. The group on board was great and just plain fun. The dives were all beautiful. The food was delicious and more than adequate. The views you get from the boat feel like pure vacation. As soon as you enter the boat, you already feel relaxed and on holiday. Super suitable to travel alone.

What a fantastic experience!
The diving was great. There were so many different types of dives to experience; shallow, deep, walls, drift, holes, wreck, and of course the shark feeding dive. There were plenty of fish and other wildlife to see. I had a chance to try spearfishing for the first time. It was great to meet people from many different places and backgrounds.

An incredible dive trip at a great value
I just got back from my Blackbeard’s trip and I’m already trying to figure out when I can return. It’s an amazing ship with a passionate and knowledgeable crew. The other guests were excellent and it was easy to find a dive buddy for every dive. There were a lot of other solo travelers on my trip which was great to find as a fellow solo traveler. The food was outstanding! Ariel and Manuel did an excellent job preparing it. The dive sites were carefully planned by Chris and I was able to see sharks, turtles, stingrays, barracuda, eels, crabs, and so much more. The quarters are small but I found that that added to the charm of the trip and made all the guests get closer. Would highly recommend this trip to any diver! You’ll have lots of fun

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.

It was dive eat dive, get some sleep and do it again.
It had been almost 20 years since I jumped off a boat, and 1998 since the last Blackbeard trip, but after the first day of diving it all came back. I was alone diver getting on a boat full of strangers and we quickly enjoyed each others company through the one thing we all had in common, DIVING. When I wasn't eating the wonderful food, try to get some shut-eye; I was hearing the call of the 10 minute dive warning; from there the week goes pretty quick. The humor of the crew does not hide nor do they slack in their duties; I admired all of them. The diving was pretty good too. It was mostly reef diving and after awhile it all looks the same, except the Blue hole, the shark dive and a couple night dives. I would like to come back for 3rd time.

The crew was prepared, they worked long hours, and they put the customer first.. The food was excellent, Jen is the best! please give her a raise.. Communication was key to a safe diving experience. The crew of the Morning Star made sure we understood the rules living on a boat and the proper diving practices. They also entertained us. Thanks Alex, Josh and Candela for making me laugh everyday I was on board..
