Incredible diving experience with the Emperor Explorer
My overall experience on the Emperor Explorer was simply fantastic. From the first moment I felt completely comfortable. The dive team was exceptionally professional, motivated and at the same time warm, which gave each dive a special touch. The entire crew was attentive, friendly and always helpful – the service on board left nothing to be desired.One of the highlights of the trip is clearly the diverse and breathtaking dives, where we had unforgettable encounters with sharks, manta rays and other sea creatures. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and familiar, and there were many beautiful moments with the other divers – both above and below the water.Another big plus: everything was perfectly organized and there were no hidden costs. This honesty and transparency added value to the experience.All in all, it was an all-round successful trip that I would repeat at any time – absolutely recommended!

Epic Trip!
Every dive delivered amazing experiences and encounters thanks to Gabriel, Maria, Ali and Rich. The boat crew was friendly, entertaining and enjoyable to socialize with. Manta Ray night dive was a dream alongside encounters with variety of sharks and rays. Dive guides were most professional, safe and led a phenomenal adventure. Would dive with this boat and crew again!!
