Turks and Caicos Explorer II (Explorer Ventures)
Five dives a day in crystal clear water with expansive walls and abundant aquatic life. What could be better? All the tropical fish, lobster, eels you typically see on the reef, but with the occasional visitor cruising the deep blue along the wall. Reef Sharks, Eagle Rays, Hawksbill Turtles and the right time or year even whales. Awesome diving.
The Turks and Caicos boat is an excellent diving platform! Your gear is set up in a permanent station with a equipment locker under the seat. Giant stride off the dive deck into the tropical waters. You return via the swim platform with two hot showers! Rinse your wet suit or skin in disinfectant and hang it on the drying rack. Warm air from the compressors exhausts through the drying rack. On your next dive you have a warm dry wetsuit!!
The accommodations are excellent. The main deck staterooms have two standard beds, 2 night stands, closet, and a bath with shower. Very comfortable accommodations, especially for the brief time you are there. There is an air conditioned carpeted lounge and dining area, sun-deck with lounges, and a covered top deck with panoramic views! The food is very good and the crew will make every effort to accommodate special diets. The crew was excellent, personable, and there to assist at any moment. What could be better than returning from a night dive to be greeted with a hot towel and a hot chocolate with Bailey's??
