Five stars for Turks and Caicos Explorer II
I had an excellent time aboard the Turks and Caicos Explorer II thanks to an exceptional crew Captain Bob and team did a great job navigating tough weather to allow us to still get in great diving Molly and Tristan were great dive guides and the rest of the crew were similarly excellent when they chose to dive Jo is a very talented chef and we were extremely well fed Allison did an amazing job keeping everything smooth and organized The boat was well-functional and comfortable thanks to Ernie Vardo s work as night watch was also much appreciated Beyond their professional virtues everyone on the crew was lovely as individuals and I very much enjoyed spending the week with them I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone

Spent a week with the Explorer Turks
Spent a week with the Explorer Turks Caicos II live aboard It was AMAZING The diving was great saw dolphins a ton of sharks a pipe fish lobsters crab turtles sting rays lion fish snapping shrimp and so much more The food was five star top notch the boat was spacious organized and clean But every person with the crew was the best part They educated us on what we would see on each dive in such an entertaining and educational way they were very hospitable so friendly and engaging It was a pleasure to be with the crew under the water and above They made the experience on this week long live aboard even more enjoyable with their knowledge and fun personalities

Bucketlist Galapagos adventure on the Explorer Humbolt
The crews and guides of explorerventures have been unmatched The level of service these professionals provided seemed effortless but did not go unnoticed With added events pointed out for us such as the volcanic eruption while navigating to Darwin the Milky Way and all of the underwater creatures and life We searched topside for penguins and found blue-footed boobies red ballooned friggets sea lion pups and dolphins Then safety led into the depths and currents for the walls of hammerheads turtles morays rays and never ending fish Of course the Galapagos was breathtaking above and below the water but without the skills and entertainment of the crew it would not have been as memorable A special Thankyou to our Humbolt crew Captain Carlos Jonathan Fransico Ivan Leo George Roberto Alfredo Hector Dive guides Ronnie and Natalia and Land guide Dave

A Trip on Explorer Ventures is a Perfect Way to Dive
My first dive live aboard experience on Explorer Ventures was fantastic The food was absolutely delicious the staff were attentive and nice and the diving was amazing I saw so many beautiful animals and corals My diving improved greatly with their help and I was able to comfortably dive 20 times well more than doubling my dive count

TCE II 12 30 to 1 6
Our time spent on the Turks Caicos Explorer was very good The weather was not the best the first couple of days however Bob and the crew exceeded expectations they made sure that all passengers were safe the safety of the guests was the top priority The attention the staff gave was exceptional the dive guides Molly and Tristan were attentive and pointed out lots of critters both big and small We had views of whales in the distance and later in the week a dolphin chased several fish under the boat The food was top notch and plentiful Miguel made sure everyone was well fed Ernie was a great help in fixing a broken o ring on one of my group s regulators This was a very enjoyable week thanks to the entire crew for making this week a success

12 10 liveaboard experience
The boat was very comfortable and the entire crew truly went above and beyond to make the entire week comfortable and enjoyable for all the guests Every meal was spectacular and the dive masters were very experienced and knowledgeable Bonus - we had the dive of a lifetime with a HUMPBACK WHALE I ve done several liveaboards and this one was by far the best yet

Incredible diving with an amazing crew
The Turks and Caicos Explorer II is a top-notch liveaboard operation staffed by the best liveaboard crew I ve seen This was my third liveaboard in the Caribbean Jo Molly and Alicia were the best dive crew I ve experienced The food was excellent for all meals The diving was even better than I d anticipated with spectacular walls and at least one typically more passing shark on every one of the 20 dives I did that week I ll return to this boat with this crew at any location for future dive trips

Two live-aboard sailings in the Galapagos
This was our first Galapagos trip but fifth and sixth live-aboard experiences We spent one week on the Humboldt Explorer and a second week on the Tiburon Explorer Diving conditions are always a gamble and nothing is guaranteed This season was expressed by locals as an unusual El Ni o weather pattern An unexpected and disappointing variable was the shutdown of a few dive sites due to the H5N1 avian flu Diving aside we preferred the Tiburon over the Humboldt because of ship spaciousness alone However the crew on both ships were great They worked as hard as anyone I ve ever seen on a live-aboard and always with a pleasant attitude There s no lack of food and snacks available at all times Overall it was another great dive trip
