Hard workers and great boat!
The crew was friendly, worked hard and was professional, and was very attentive to the needs of the guests.
Can’t beat diving in the Galapagos - the guides did a great job of bringing the group to the spots and adjusting as needed.

Hi Thomas, Thank you for choosing to dive with us! The Galapagos is a truly magical place, and we’re so happy that Tiburon Explorer provided the adventure you were hoping for. Whether it’s hammerheads, whale sharks, or just the incredible scenery, we’d love to have you back for another round of spectacular diving!
We would definitely do this trip again
We would definitely do this trip again! Captain Lauren is amazing and all the crew! They take their jobs seriously, are attentive, good at what they do, as well as supper friendly and are fun to spend time with. It was octopus and turtle galore which made the dives special. The dive guides make you feel safe and are enthusiastic about each dive. The food was very good too!!

Hello Jillian. Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s wonderful to hear you’d love to do this trip again. Captain Lauren and the crew will be thrilled by your kind words. Creating a safe, welcoming, and fun atmosphere on board is always a priority, and it’s great to know that came through both on the dives and in the time spent together. Octopus and turtle encounters always make dives extra special, and we’re so glad you had the chance to experience them. Thank you for diving with us, and we hope to welcome you back aboard again soon.
Red Sea Magic
We spent an unforgettable week diving the Red Sea aboard the Grand Sea Explorer (reservation #34318) with Explorer Ventures, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish.
The food alone deserves its own five stars — every meal was delicious, prepared by truly talented cooks, and the dining staff made sure we were never hungry after a dive. Whether it was snacks, treats, or something warm waiting for us, they always seemed to anticipate exactly what we needed.
The dive staff provided VIP-level care the entire week. They helped us into our gear, hung our wetsuits to dry, and were right there to assist whenever it was time to suit back up. Their attention to safety was outstanding as they guided us from the main boat to the rib tender and back again. And after each dive, being wrapped in a warm towel was absolutely perfect after the chilly Red Sea waters.
Our dive guides were the heart of the adventure. Their detailed briefings gave us a clear picture of what to expect, and once in the water, they showed us the magic the Red Sea is famous for — vibrant soft corals, stunning reefscapes, and, for me, the most incredible shark encounter of my life: a graceful thresher shark gliding by just 25 feet away.
For anyone considering a liveaboard diving experience in the Red Sea, Explorer Ventures is the easy choice. They delivered comfort, safety, unforgettable dives, and world-class service every single day. Highly recommended!

Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of your week aboard the Grand Sea Explorer. We truly appreciate it! It is wonderful to hear that everything from the meals to the dive operations helped make your Red Sea adventure so memorable. The chefs, dining team, and dive staff take great pride in creating a comfortable and seamless experience, and your comments are a joy to share with them.
Your description of the dives, especially that unforgettable thresher shark encounter, captures exactly what makes the Red Sea so special. We are glad the team helped make those moments possible with attentive care, safety-focused guidance, and in-depth briefings throughout the week.
We welcome you back aboard anytime for another chapter of Red Sea magic or to explore a new destination with us!

The crew was great although there were a few issues with the food—I had declared in advance that I could not have spicy foods or cheese and the afternoon snacks had cheese, there was one night where I could only have veggies and starch but that was remedied quickly.

Saint Kitts and Saba are dive spots unique to the Carribean dive experience.
Saint Kitts and Saba are dive spots which are very pristine in the Carribean. The Carribean Explorer II made access to these sites comfortable. I enjoyed the crew very much and they made every minute of our day memorable. Thank you!

Diving experience
I had an incredible experience on this liveaboard.
The crew was friendly, professional, and always attentive.
Dive sites were well selected and the Dive masters knew how to find interesting marine life
The food, boat comfort, and daily organization exceeded expectations.
I’d recommend this trip to any diver and would gladly return.

Hi KV, 5-star reviews like this make our day! We’re so glad Caribbean Explorer II exceeded your expectations - from the diving to the food to the top-notch crew. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope you’re already planning your next trip with us! If you’re looking for a new destination, Turks & Caicos has some jaw-dropping walls and sharky dives waiting for you!
The Black Pear a really excellent dive boat
The Black Pear is a beautiful boat and with a really amazing crew. I have been on several liveaboard dive boats and the Black Pearl was one of the niecests boats I have been on. It was also the biggest cabin I have ever had. The staff were really attentive and provided excellent service. I want to give special recognition to our Dive Master Jeffrey who was one of the best DM's I have had, both in terms of his attention to divers but also his ability to find some amazing marine life that I would not have seen on my own.

We had the best trip ever
We had the best trip ever! What a bucket list trip...must do for anyone who dives. The staff and dive guides were all so awesome and personable and really made the experience world class! We felt like rock stars and were treated so well that going back to any other dive boats will be a disappointment. Thank you guys for making our trip so perfect!

Adaptions for the aging diver…
The consistant help from the divemasters to make it possible for me to continue diving into my eighties. Without their help, I would not have managed getting back into dive boat due to recent bsck surgery.
They made it all possible!!!
