We'd love to have you onboard the Turks & Caicos Explorer II! @diversteve did a great job giving the low down on the diving here and he's right about the sharks! None of the dive operators feed the sharks and there is still lots of action. In the first clip of our promo video, look in the...

Hi @NZAnna! Happy to give any insights about the Explorer vessels for your Maldives trip :-) The Carpe Novo Explorer (CNEX) itinerary is a northern one and there won’t be much current. CNEX offers 3 dives a day (not 4). The Carpe Vita Explorer (CVEX) itinerary is mostly easy diving but there...

Hi @CaptainSinbad! I used to work as crew on the Turks boat and had the opportunity to dive with Caribbean Explorer II travelling from St.Kitts>Saba>St.Maarten in December (I also continue to work for Explorer Ventures in an admin role in Turks & Caicos). The two locations are SO DIFFERENT from...

We had a great start to the week at Eel Garden and Amphitheatre with multiple shark sightings, turtles and stingrays just off of Northwest Point, Provo. Kenny had a close encounter of the shark kind at Stairway when a reef shark bumped his camera housing! Over in West Caicos at the Gully we saw...

Hi @ontdiver! I took a peek at last year's Trip Report from the October 1st charter and this is what I found: Surface water temp: 85F At depth: 84F Underwater viz: Some locations were 80-100ft and some were 60-80ft Skies were partly cloudy with very minimal surface chop and a calm crossing...

GREAT Shark video! Love Boat Cove. When was this taken?

Hi @carlosrjbr! We'd love to have you onboard the Turks & Caicos Explorer II or even the Caribbean Explorer II! I used to crew onboard our Turks boat and have dived the St.Kitts/Saba boat, so if you have any specific questions - just let me know! Happy to help. In Turks you'll have the chance...

Hi @shocked! We'd love to talk Galapagos diving with you and tell you all about the Humboldt Explorer! Give us a shout at 1 307 235 0683 or send a message to info@ExplorerVentures.com with any questions you might have re: the vessel, seasons, availability etc. Here's a link to more info on our...

Hi Richard, I just noticed I overlooked your comment regarding the Single Supplement differences between the two vessels in Indonesia: The reason the Single Supplement on Blue Manta Explorer is only 10% is because there are 14 cabins that limit our occupancy to 20-22, so we have extra cabins we...

Hi Richard! With regard to your question about the 6 - 10 day itineraries that may appear random, they actually reflect the seasons and locations for diving in Indonesia. As well, the different trip durations allow the vessels to accommodate the requests of divers looking for different vacation...

EXPLORER VENTURES LIVEABOARD FLEET ANNOUNCES TWO NEW INDONESIA VESSELS From pygmy seahorses to Komodo dragons, experience all that the Indonesia Archipelago has to offer! Explorer Ventures is proud to announce its new partnership with White Manta Diving, Indonesia. The addition of the M/V Blue...

It's hard to believe it was 30 years ago when the original M/V Caribbean Explorer set sail from Bobby’s Marina in St. Maarten on her first ever scuba liveaboard charter! On that day in June 1987, there were no moorings; dive sites were located by triangulating landmarks ashore; all pertinent...

Cool! Glad you had a chance to chat with Jenn. I was thinking of everyone there this year! I love that show! Hope you can join us on Majestic one day :D

That's a great question, Akimbo! But there's an even better answer - the dive deck hasn't been built yet! The vessel will be in dry dock undergoing improvements before the August 2018 sailing date. As more images become available, we will send them along. If you haven't already done so, it...

You're on it, Richard! This is a newer vessel with 30% larger cabins and overall very spacious (longer and wider). There are more main deck cabins to choose from. It does have a luxurious feel to it as well! The itinerary is slightly different as it will take guests to Cabo Douglas to see...

We are so proud to announce Explorer Ventures Fleet’s newest addition: the M/V Majestic Explorer in the Galapagos Islands! With recent approval and permit from the National Park Foundation, the Majestic Explorer will join the Humboldt Explorer in the Galapagos Islands starting in August 2018...

Hi Richard! The CEX2 itinerary is super unique. After being on the admin and social media side for quite some time (and having experience as crew on TCEX2), I was excited to head over to CEX2 and check it out - and I was floored! While the scuba diving is topnotch with a wide variety of marine...
