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!

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.

Excellent crew, shark night dive, and service
I booked this trip after a hiatus in diving for several months as a way to get back into the water and make several dives. The diving itself met my expectations of Carribean diving and was solid, but what made my trip special was the warm and helpful crew! Jenny, Valentin and Hector were very accommodating and helpful, especially given that I sometimes enjoy a shorter dive depending on the site. Our Captain Billy gave a thorough safety briefing and was very friendly and present throughout the trip. The food was also a highlight and the chef made some excellent desserts - especially the Tiramisu! The service was top notch - when me and a fellow diver left some items to dry on the fly deck and left for a shore excursion, it rained - and the crew stashed our items away so they would not get wet before we traveled the following day. If you love easy diving with little current, beautiful dramatic walls, and a well maintained vessel with excellent crew, you can’t go wrong with this liveaboard trip.

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!

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.
