Highlights
Join the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of All Star Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the All Star Liveaboards 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.
All Star 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 All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer; 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.

You'll never regret booking this trip and I can't wait for my next adventure with this crew!
This was my first live aboard and I was not exactly sure to expect. But Captain Alex and the rest of the crew put me at easy from the time we boarded the Morning Star. Captain Alex fully explained every leg of the journey and I felt completely safe the entire way, even over the rough sea crossings. My goal was to burn some calories with four dives a day, but Garett foiled that plan by supplying 3 awesome meals and great snacks, that I couldn't resist, each day! We all looked forward to the next marvelous selection and were perplexed at the magic Garett created in such a small kitchen space! Candela was the perfect Dive Master and she prepped and executed 27 dives for 19 divers flawlessly. All while teaching Advanced Open Water and Deep Dive Specialty (which I took during the week) at the same time. Each dive was like a new experience, even when we re-visited a location, and I knew what to look for beforehand which made the dive that much more enjoyable. I most enjoyed the shark feeding dive and the drift dive (which we need more than one next time!!) the most. Both were my first experiences with each and I felt safe, knowable about what to do, and maximized the moment for me. Martyna was a great dive guide and first mate, who pointed out a lot of sea life that I would have missed had she not pointed these amazing (and small) creatures to me on dives. Josh kept the Morning Star in tip top shape and we never experienced an issue, so that make him one helluva engineer. We had an eclectic group of divers, but we all blended so well and had a great time together. Every one was helpful, willing to serve as a dive buddy, watched out for each other on dives, had a great time socializing throughout the trip and REALLY took advantage of our last night out on the island when we docked. I would highly recommend booking with Blackbeards, who made the booking easy, follow-ups leading up to my arrival to keep me informed, transportation needs to.from airport/hotel, and was a real value for the money considering everything to received for an entire week! Needless to say that I'm now hooked and will seek to do a live aboard annually! However, it's going to be hard for the next crew to top the experience of this past trip on the Morning Star!

Blackbeards truly IS the Best of the Bahamas!
The "Washing Machine" dive, the Shark Feed dive, and the impromptu underwater magic show! I've been on a lot of different liveaboards over the past few years, and Blackbeard's is the best in overall diving and fun! We will definitely be booking again!

New friends, New appreciation, New understandings
The wall dives were my biggest highlight on this trip. Being able to swim in the shallows and then just have the ocean show how mysterious it can be by giving you an endless view into the deepest of blues that you will likely experience. Being able to look down and not know what's there because of the limited but strangely endless view is a rather humbling moment. The crew I had on my trip were just incredible too. Although they act in the most professional manner as required to mitigate the risks associated with this trip, they balance this out perfectly with their friendly demeanour, making you laugh, addressing any concerns you may have and ultimately actually becoming your friend by the end of the trip. It would have been an entirely different trip if the crew had been purely a boat crew only.

Don't wait BOOK IT now!
This was the dive trip I've needed for a long time! Capt. Steven ran a tight ship and put us on the best dive sites available. The DM/instructors Ty and Kristen were friendly, knowledgeable, and took time to make sure you were comfortable in the water. Between dives, Chief Chris kept us fed with amazing meals and snacks from around the world. His meals were thoughtfully planned and he was able to accommodate everyone's dietary requirements without sacrificing flavor. Last but not least, our engineer Olivia kept every aspect of the floating city running in tip top shape. My fellow guests were from across the globe. Each was friendly and welcoming. The comradely we felt by the end of the trip worth ticket price alone. I can't wait to come back and experience the amazing diving, incredible crew hospitality, and friendly guests.

The diving, food and people were all amazing! I would recommend Blackbeards to anyone.
It was my first time on a liveaboard and I loved it! The staff and other passengers were great, and the shark diving was absolutely incredible. The blue hole was the coolest dive site I’ve ever done.
