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.

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.

A 10 out of 10 adventure vacation
The cuisine was exceptional! The captain and crew were delightful, also very caring and conscientious. The dives were beautiful. We saw and learned a lot. There were 20 divers on the Turks and Caicos Explorer Liveaboard and we all had a nice time together. It was a peaceful yet active vacation and very satisfying. I would love to do it again.

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!

Wonderful staff made for an amazing week
We enjoyed a comfortable week of diving and saw a wide array of sea life expertly guided by friendly staff. The food was stellar, the dive sites featured sharks, rays, eels, and turtles. Rooms were cleaned daily, excellent Captain Bob navigated us to a diverse array of sites, and the guides (Mollie and Tristen) were entertaining and informative.

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 .
