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.

The Crew makes Blackbeard worth every second....
The Crew is what makes these trips. I cannot speak highly enough of those mentioned above. They work for little and deliver so very much with a smile on their faces.

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 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.

First & Best Liveaboard Experience!
I never been on a liveaboard before and this just made my whole year! The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable about the boat and dive sites, and kept us safe even when the wind picked up. We did miss a few dives due to weather, but that didn't take away from any experience - the crew provided us amazing services and there were many solo divers whom we all became friends with - the entire boat felt like one big happy family and it was an amazing experience overall!
