About Explorer Ventures - Turks & Caicos Explorer II
Operating from Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Turks & Caicos Explorer II is a PADI Dive Boat that opens up some of the region's most dramatic underwater terrain. Divers explore the coasts of Providenciales, West Caicos, and French Caye, where sheer walls drop into the abyss and crevasses are decorated with elephant ear sponges and diverse macro life. There are also chances for encounters with humpback whales.
What it's known for
This is diving among 40 islands and cays, with just eight inhabited, so the surroundings stay serene and the dives uncrowded. Enriched air (Nitrox) is available for divers looking to extend their time along the walls, and conservation-minded diving is part of the experience.
On board you'll find warm-water showers along with Fish ID and diving books to help you make sense of what you've seen. The team works in both English and Spanish, making it a comfortable fit for international divers drawn to wall diving and vibrant marine life.

★ 5 · Joshua Holland · 2023-07-30I had an excellent trip on the T&C Explorer II last week. Good food, amazing crew that busted their a**es taking care of us and good (but not great) diving. The boat was decent. A cramped dive deck and no heads outside the cabins were slight drawbacks. Also, they only put one DM in the water for most dives and I believe we had 18 or 19 divers. If you’re uncomfortable with that kind of guidance then that’s something to keep in mind. Definitely would recommend this liveaboard but probably wouldn’t go back for a 2nd trip.
★ 5 · Dale Kasofsky · 2022-01-17First class all the way. Safety and great attitude.
★ 5 · Daniel Van Gool · 2022-01-13I had a fantastic trip on board of the T&C Explorer. The ship is really well equipped for diving - everything is so efficient and well-layed out. Our dive guys were very competen. I learned a lot about the micro world in the ocean. There's so much to see beyond fish and turtles and sharks, that I didn't have as much eye for and this trip was really eye-opening for me. The cabins don't look the most modern ever - they have aged a bit, but they are fully functional and offer enough comfort for a trip like this. Besides, it's not where you're supposed to be spending a ton of time anyway :) The staff took excellent care of us and really made the trip. I would have given 6 stars for 'Food' if I could, because Jo's cooking was simply amazing and far far exceeded any kind of expectations I had for this kind of trip. It was really amazing.
