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.

Awesome crew, awesome dives, amazing experience
My boat was only 4 guests so we got a very private experience which was amazing! Getting to know the crew and having more curated dives was fantastic! The boat is crewed by a great group of people who truly care about the ocean and about making sure guests have a great time! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

First time on a liveaboard!
This was my first live aboard and I shared the experience with my teen daughter. We were both excited but a little nervous given we had never done anything like this before. When we boarded, we quickly realized that this was going to be an amazing trip. The boat has all the comfort of home and the crew was top notch! The entire crew and captain made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing; so much so that after we went out for dinner on our last night, we all agreed we would have preferred Miguel’s cooking! The dives! The dives and the dive crew were beyond anything we expected. The wall dives (which most dives were) were gorgeous. We even saw a hammerhead, which was the highlight of the diving for me. The dive instructors were attentive and we always felt safe. Simply amazing!

Fun Dive eat dive & dive eat dive dive eat dive sleep and do it again!
Most of the sites we were able to find or explore and see more types of sea life than I have on prior trips with the crew making it fun knowing what we would see and or find around each site that we visited. Each day the crew / dive masters would have a different theme for all of the sites even going so far as to dress up in costumes as this would keep things fun. They were vary mindful of all needed safety aspects reviewing prior to leaving port after boarding boat which covered boat as well as diving. Never mind the Great diving the cook onboard would make snacks and meals that you wouldn't expect with a variety each day they also had well stocked soft drinks. So while the boat was not a palace it was very functional and comfortable dive area was set up nicely with places for your gear so you would not need to take it to your cabin. Between dives it was nice to be up top on fly bridge while going to our next dive sites as on various days we would have Dolphins swimming to keep up with the boat, just having fun jumping boat wake.
