Highlights
Join the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the Blackbeard's Fleet, offers 3 dormitory-style cabin areas with 18 bunks and 3 shared bathrooms. Each cabin area has AC, and all are sectioned off with privacy curtains, similar to a sleeper cabin on a train. There is a choice of double or single bunks. Buffet meals with picnic-style dining are served in the air-conditioned salon, and all meals, snacks, and drinks, including beer, wine, and rum punch, are included during your stay.
Blackbeard's Sea Explorer trips include diving with sharks, exhilarating drift diving, beautiful walls, and blue holes around the Exuma Cays. There is no set itinerary aboard the Sea Explorer liveaboard; the captain and crew will take the boat where the conditions and weather are best. Plenty of non-diving activities are on offer, so your time above the water will be just as memorable as below.

Guests were comfortable & safe … even though the boat isn't luxurious, it's quite comfortable.
Enjoyed my trip with Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, strong crew, food rated high (left over food kept safe and donate to unhouse person when reach land), variety of diving - drift dives, blue holes, shark diving.

Go on this trip
Absolutely the best value for your money on a diving trip I’ve ever experienced. I think we also got very lucky with our cook Gunnar, an incredible cook. Felt like better than restaurant quality dining

Don't wait BOOK IT now!
This was the dive trip I've needed for a long time! Capt. Steven ran a tight ship and put us on the best dive sites available. The DM/instructors Ty and Kristen were friendly, knowledgeable, and took time to make sure you were comfortable in the water. Between dives, Chief Chris kept us fed with amazing meals and snacks from around the world. His meals were thoughtfully planned and he was able to accommodate everyone's dietary requirements without sacrificing flavor. Last but not least, our engineer Olivia kept every aspect of the floating city running in tip top shape. My fellow guests were from across the globe. Each was friendly and welcoming. The comradely we felt by the end of the trip worth ticket price alone. I can't wait to come back and experience the amazing diving, incredible crew hospitality, and friendly guests.

Great value for money
Although cabins and bathrooms are rustic - still clean and comfortable, the food was amazing and super tasty... Dan, the cook, converts the diving trip also into a foodie tour, serving 3 meals and 2 snacks a day:) Crew was great and always friendly and attentative. even though weather conditions were so so, captain Chris and his team made the best out of it. They brought in as much diving diversity as possible even restrained by limited possibilities due to sea conditions. We had shark feeding, diving through a washing machine, deep dives, wrecks, very vivid night dives etc. The instructor/ dive master Ian is great fun and always happy to help. felt secure and in good hands and all times. Very recomendable dive trip!

Impossible to get more on a trip!
The crew on Blackbeards Sea Explorer were phenomenal! Brian did great briefings. Iain took us to amazing spots with our safety always in mind. Justing gave us the VIP treatment with great stories, Elayna was a joy to be around, and Chris was a blast and worked hard to keep everything running. Also, Gladys cooked amazing food and was a ton of fun to be around! Only thing I could recommend in the future would be a Margarita machine but that's it. Can't wait to come back!

Summer camp for adults
I was nervous going on this trip as a 48 yr old solo female, not knowing anyone. But it was great, there was a range of ages all interested in diving. Tyrone was a great instructor for my deep specialty. Morgan could steer the sailboat through anything. What Gunner could turn out of that tiny galley was fantastic, we ate well. Mike kept everything running and always ready to help. Sheena was very happy and helpful. I dove with sharks and rays. Fed the pigs and stingrays, walked on beautiful beaches. Caught a fish and watched the sails go up. It was a great trip.
