This was an amazing experience.
I did 27 dives in 5 and a half days. The night and dawn dives were fantastic. "Flying" on the stern ropes was really fun, ok, I should have been practicing safety stop hovering instead. The camaraderie of the guests and crew was really special.

First Class all the way
Did every dive and each dive was spectacular. The boat and crew were absolutely first class. Everything was very professional. The Night dive at G-Spot on French Cay was worth the price of the trip alone.

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.

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 .

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.

Amazing Crew!
T&C has good weather and good diving. What makes this trip a must is the amazing crew on the T&C Explorer. Every one of them bends over backwards to make sure all guest have a good experience, all the while maintaining good humor and a fun attitude. The dive briefings were some of the best I've seen in 12 years of diving. Not only were we briefed on topography, navigation and currents, but each briefing had a deep dive (no pun intended) into a particular fish or critter found in T&C. I learned so many new things about fish I've been looking at for years. The dive guides are extremely knowledgable about the local fish and are happy to nerd out over a fish ID book during the surface intervals or after we're done diving for the day. It's worth noting that each buddy team has a choice to follow the guide or dive their own plan. This was somewhat unusual to me, but I appreciated the freedom for our small group to break away and look for critters on our own. The boat itself is quite spacious with lots of places guests can enjoy the sun or shade. The bunk rooms were small but comfortable. The food was very good. I would go diving with T&C explorer again in a heartbeat.

Good diving, good support, everything went smoothly!
Great to get out of internet connection for a few days and just focus on exploring some tremendous dive sites! Pretty early days and somehow always ready for bed by 8pm!

- Found excellent dive sites despite some weather challenges. Food was excellent. All staff worked hard to ensure we were happy with the experience.
