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.

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.

Amazing Crew!
T&C has good weather and good diving. What makes this trip a must is the amazing crew on the T&C Explorer. Every one of them bends over backwards to make sure all guest have a good experience, all the while maintaining good humor and a fun attitude. The dive briefings were some of the best I've seen in 12 years of diving. Not only were we briefed on topography, navigation and currents, but each briefing had a deep dive (no pun intended) into a particular fish or critter found in T&C. I learned so many new things about fish I've been looking at for years. The dive guides are extremely knowledgable about the local fish and are happy to nerd out over a fish ID book during the surface intervals or after we're done diving for the day. It's worth noting that each buddy team has a choice to follow the guide or dive their own plan. This was somewhat unusual to me, but I appreciated the freedom for our small group to break away and look for critters on our own. The boat itself is quite spacious with lots of places guests can enjoy the sun or shade. The bunk rooms were small but comfortable. The food was very good. I would go diving with T&C explorer again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience
We saw big animals on almost every dive. The crew was super kind and helpful and the food was plenty and delicious. The pre dive briefings were some of the best I have ever seen - very entertaining and useful. Night dives were especially breathtaking - never seen so many sharks hunting all at once, I might be spoiled after this trip!

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
