Great liveaboard adventure
This was our second liveaboard trip. It was fantastic start to finish. The crew was great, from the captain down to the dive guides. Jenny was an especially good hostess and leader. The food was fantastic. We would get back on board right now and go again if we could.

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!

One hundred stars 🌟
My 3rd time on Explorer 2 in 3 years . This time things got so much even better in terms of hospitality, the food quality , the crew attention to detail and fun loving attitude. Every day was just perfection . Can’t wait to go back . The captain is outstanding, experienced , lovely to deal with . Crew is simply amazing . They are also focused on safety as priority, so all feel relaxed . Diving sites were fantastic , we were only ones . The food was delicious and plentiful. Cabins and the boat cleanliness was immaculate. The week felt like being with an instant family . Amazing diving vacation for the money . I truly recommend this liveaboard and I have done so many .

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.

Wow... and thank you
An unforgettable experience. This trip will be one of our best dive safaris, because of the friendliness of the staff - thank you Hart, Ash, Libor and Dan - Miguel's cooking (just that, it's worth the trip!), not to mention the jovial captain JF. We loved it.

Top Notch Experience!
The crew was awesome and the diving was lively! Jo kept things interesting with her hilarious, yet informative dive briefings. Never needed for anything as the crew's top priorities were that we had the best experience possible and that we always had what was needed. Highly recommend!

Everything was great!
I was very happy when I saw my cabin with two single beds and bathroom. Comparing to other boats, I felt it much bigger and comfortable. We did 5 dives a day everyday and one of the night dives was awesome with a lot of sharks. Food and drinks are all included and all the meals are delicious. The crews are very friendly and helpful. They are very hard workers to make our stay comfortable. Overall, the boat experience was wonderful!
