Explorer Ventures - Turks & Caicos Explorer II

★ 5 · Joshua Holland · 2023-07-30

I 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.

First class all the way. Safety and great attitude.

I 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.
