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!

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.

Fantastic!
I am a relatively new diver, and this was my first live aboard trip. I couldn't be happier with the experience and I heartily recommend this trip. The crew is fantastic, always busy and hardworking (despite the small number of divers on this trip). I did 22 of the 27 dives (including 3 night dives and 2 drift dives), covering 12 different diving sites between Providenciales and West Caicos. All the sites are beautiful, with a variety of corals and animals to look for. The dive masters are experienced and always helpful. The whole crew is friendly, hardworking, and skilled at what they do, from helping fix faulty equipment to cooking excellent food. I already look forward to my next opportunity to go back!

the best diving trip
for me, it was an incredible experience, it was so good i stayed a second week, there is no word to describe how i felt, spending all that time with all those fish, i am used to dive in the St-Lawrence river in Ontario (eastern Canada) its great, but water is cold, and there is never as much life as what we saw, the crew was great, and knew very well everything about every locations, but for me the best part was the night dive at french cay, with the nurse sharks...i would go back anytime for me, that was the very best thing i have ever done in my entire life...im already planning to go back, either to the same spot or to another spot, it was great

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 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.
