The best 8 days!!
I had an absolutely amazing time on this wliveaboard!! It was my first time doing one and I had the best time ever. The crew as fantastic!! The captain, the dive guides, the cook, and Jenny the purser were all amazing!! They were so friendly and welcoming! The food was also really good! As for the diving, 5 dives a day was a lot so we stayed pretty busy. But there was no pressure to go on every single dive, so I did sit a few out here & there throughout the week. Overall, I had an amazing 8 days and I can’t wait to do another one!

This is my 3rd time on the Turks and Caicos Explorer II and won't be my last.
The diving is wonderful with healthy reefs and lots of interesting sites to dive. The staff are fun and there were tons of laughs everyday. In the past years, we had dive masters that would wear tutus on this boat and have special critters to point out. This time was different but just as enjoyable. We had a couple amazing dive masters that enjoyed educating us on the underwater life and showing us new creatures to love. (new creature this trip for me was the conchfish-small cardinal fish that has a symbiotic relationship with the conch) I love the small stuff as much as the big stuff. They have an amazing night dive that you just jump in and hover at about 35-40 feet and watch the show--reef and nurse sharks are hunting and feeding. We stayed right under the boat for the whole dive.

1st live aboard dive experience was 1st class
The crew of the explorer II made a week of diving absolutely effortless. Everyone on board was incredibly professional and yet we left feeling like family. Every dive was beautiful and relaxed. Safety standards were followed and we always felt safe even in live boat drift dives in relatively rough seas. The boat was very well maintained and clean. The reefs we visited were in good condition, lots of healthy coral, sponges and variety of sealife. Sharks, rays, dolphin, barracuda all encountered.

Wonderful staff made for an amazing week
We enjoyed a comfortable week of diving and saw a wide array of sea life expertly guided by friendly staff. The food was stellar, the dive sites featured sharks, rays, eels, and turtles. Rooms were cleaned daily, excellent Captain Bob navigated us to a diverse array of sites, and the guides (Mollie and Tristen) were entertaining and informative.

I am hooked
The crew makes this trip so special. Lots of very experienced well traveled people all working as a well oiled machine. Extremely friendly and accommodating to everyone’s needs or requests. The dive briefings were not only funny but informative which allowed me to dive with fellow diver and work on my navigation skills. I will repeat this trip with my wife or alone in the future.
