Great trip, really a fun crew with lots of dives.
Really enjoyed the walls we dove on this trip, great sites! Dive guides were great and Jo was really fun with her costumes and edutainment regrading our dives. Chef Stan prepared snacks and meals that everyone loved and kept our energy up for the dives. Really nice not to need to set up dive gear for each dive. Simply unhook your reg and they fill your tank. Fun trip with great dives!

Excellent crew and diving
Fully equipped diving ship with experienced captain and crew. Fun crew can host any level of diver. Safety is the top priority with this company so no need to worry about weather and water current risks. They'll combine diving experience, weather/current risks and build a plan for the week to maximize sights and safety for the guests. Food is always a risk on a liveaboard, but their Chef Austin and the crew do an excellent job accounting for allergies, variety and quality of the meals. We were never hungry and very satisfied with the food. Great salads, meats and carbs to offset energy spent during the day with amazing hot snack-time dishes in between. Diving highlights were snorkeling with wild dolphins near West Caicos and the night dive on French Cay where Nurse Sharks are naturally feeding at night around their breeding ground. Amazingly large and calm barracuda on DD and GS dive sites as well. One note about the boat, it's stabilizers on the keel cause the boat to swing in a arc'd figure 8(think of a C-curved figure-8) centered around the mooring point. The crew draws this out for you ahead of time but it will surprise you how much the boat moves. Be patient and calm when doing safety stops and the divemasters on the dive are nearly always tracking the boat if you can't see it.

Had the best dive trip and can't wait to go out with them on another trip!
Couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first liveaboard. The crew were wonderful, helpful and made the trip amazing. The food was exceptional. The boat was comfortable and didn't lack for anything.

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.

the most efficient way to dive
The crew was very relax but always ready to help. Also The Turks is very rich for macro diving
- Recommended for
- the fact that you don’t have to carry your gear. The chance to move quickly to different locations. the sens of community between the divers
