Great liveaboard adventure
This was our second liveaboard trip. It was fantastic start to finish. The crew was great, from the captain down to the dive guides. Jenny was an especially good hostess and leader. The food was fantastic. We would get back on board right now and go again if we could.

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.

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.

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.

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.
