In spite of losing 2 days due to stormy weather we had a great trip with 4 days diving. Enjoyed all the dives because its what I love doing, we had very close encounter with very friendly and large eagle ray,saw turtles every day,did 2 night dives and saw many nurse sharks night hunting so in spite of losing bit of time saw plenty!

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.

First Class all the way
Did every dive and each dive was spectacular. The boat and crew were absolutely first class. Everything was very professional. The Night dive at G-Spot on French Cay was worth the price of the trip alone.

I am hooked
The crew makes this trip so special. Lots of very experienced well traveled people all working as a well oiled machine. Extremely friendly and accommodating to everyone’s needs or requests. The dive briefings were not only funny but informative which allowed me to dive with fellow diver and work on my navigation skills. I will repeat this trip with my wife or alone in the future.

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.

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.

good organisation
WE love the hot shower after each dives and hot towells after night dives, it's a first classe service, everything was nice except the last day when we go back to the Marina at 9.00 am doing nothing to 4.00 pm, the crew reserve a taxi for us at this time to go shopping and diner outside, we went back to the boat at 8h30 pm. WE would like to be advise before because in fact it's a 6 days cruise and not 7, it means nothing to spend this friday on the boat doing nothing.
