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.

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!

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.

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!

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 .
