“The blue hole was the coolest dive site I’ve ever done.”
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.

Please Note: Morning Star and Sea Explorer are identical twin sisters and may be used interchangeably. Whilst we can take requests for specific bunks, they are not guaranteed, and the rate is per person, not per bunk.
This boat is part of the All Star Liveaboards fleet.

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

happy to spend Christmas with the most maxing group of people and crew
This was my first and definitely not last liveaboard trip. The accommodation were basic but comfortable enough. The dives were amazing. But the highlight of the trip is the crew members. They are the coolest group of people who enjoy their jobs. The food was great and we even had awesome snacks in between dives. I highly recommend the Blackbeard sea explorer. Will be back. Oh did I mention we saw a ton of sharks?

What an experience
The crew was absolutely phenomenal. They dealt with many adversities, yet always kept the passengers informed and had several options. Will do another liveaboard trip because of them.

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.
