“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.

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.

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.

Awesome Time
Even for someone who likes the water four dives a day and an afternoon swim is alot of water time! Despite some rain the trip was awesome. Lots of animal life. The shark feed had to be the highlight for me. Next the swim throughs. Blue Hole. The crew was awesome and all the fellow divers got along great. Fantastic value for the money.

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!
