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.

First Class all the way
Did every dive and each dive was spectacular. The boat and crew were absolutely first class. Everything was very professional. The Night dive at G-Spot on French Cay was worth the price of the trip alone.

One hundred stars 🌟
My 3rd time on Explorer 2 in 3 years . This time things got so much even better in terms of hospitality, the food quality , the crew attention to detail and fun loving attitude. Every day was just perfection . Can’t wait to go back . The captain is outstanding, experienced , lovely to deal with . Crew is simply amazing . They are also focused on safety as priority, so all feel relaxed . Diving sites were fantastic , we were only ones . The food was delicious and plentiful. Cabins and the boat cleanliness was immaculate. The week felt like being with an instant family . Amazing diving vacation for the money . I truly recommend this liveaboard and I have done so many .

First time on a liveaboard!
This was my first live aboard and I shared the experience with my teen daughter. We were both excited but a little nervous given we had never done anything like this before. When we boarded, we quickly realized that this was going to be an amazing trip. The boat has all the comfort of home and the crew was top notch! The entire crew and captain made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing; so much so that after we went out for dinner on our last night, we all agreed we would have preferred Miguel’s cooking! The dives! The dives and the dive crew were beyond anything we expected. The wall dives (which most dives were) were gorgeous. We even saw a hammerhead, which was the highlight of the diving for me. The dive instructors were attentive and we always felt safe. Simply amazing!

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.

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
