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.

100 star Diving with a magnificent crew!
This was a huge upgrade from the liveaboard s we have used in the past. If I would have know it was this luxurious and there would be this much pampering and closet space, I would have brought more clothes! Jenny was my favorite, she is magnificent and fun but also very strict about safety. Every time she dove with us, all the cool marine life appeared. It’s because they know good energy. She really made our trip special and had a bottle of champagne waiting for my husband and myself when we got to our cabin on our anniversary. Valentin and Hector we fabulous dive guides. Marie kept everything running beautifully, Billy was informative and accommodating an always prioritized our safety.

Another awesome trip aboard the Turks and Caicos Explorer!
The crew immediately made us feel like family. I am still in touch with many of the passengers from the trip. Dinner was especially fun with the passengers sharing stories of diving, sailing, and of course how they met their better half!

- The First Mate Amber began the trip by inviting us into her home. And it just got better from there.. The chef created some of the best dishes I have ever had! Always delicious and always plenty of food!. The diving was wonderful. The site choices and dive guides were GREAT!.
