Turks & Caicos Explorer II

About Turks & Caicos Explorer II

Turks & Caicos Explorer II is a 125ft long scuba diving liveaboard yacht. They have 10 air conditioned staterooms with port lights, or windows and ensuite bathrooms for a total of 20 guests. There are 2 VIP staterooms, 5 main deck staterooms, and 3 lower deck staterooms. Enjoy our blog article on the Turks & Caicos.

Turks & Caicos Explorer II Diving

Most scuba diving trips are 7 nights or 8 days. The vessel typically travels to the west end of Providenciales (Provo). Then down to West Caicos. Finally, you'll travel over to French Cay before returning home. Along the way, Turks & Caicos Explorer II will stop and some days dive up to 5 times, but average around 27 dives for the week. Nitrox 32% is available if you want to help reduce nitrogen levels. Since there are only 2 dozen dive sites out here. Therefore, plan to dive a few of the dive sites 2 times or more (including night Dives), but this really isn't problem for most divers, as the dive sites are large. So, on some dives you will head north or west, and on the next dive go south or east. Sites include: Shark Hotel, Black Forest, The Dome, Elephant Ear Canyon, Double D, Rock & Roll, and G Spot.

Attractions and Activities

On board the Turks & Caicos Explorer II, everyone tends to gather either in the common room or on the flybridge with the barbeque, wet bar, extra seating, and lounge chairs.  A typical day includes breakfast, followed by two dives, then lunch, followed by two dives, a snack, relax, then a night dive. On the dive deck, there are individual gear bins, rinse tanks, a camera table, a recharging station, and a ramp style stairway to the swim platform. Inflatable tenders are used with rigid hulls. Possible itineraries can also be requested in advance including Grand Turk, South Caicos and French Caye. Humpback whales annually traverse the waters between Grand Turk and the Caicos. Dolphins, groupers, turtles, mantas, rays and sharks are just icing on the cake.

The history of The Turks and Caicos Islands reads like a pirate story. Wrecks and legends of pirate booty are part of the local lore. An archipelago of 40 islands and cays located 30 miles Southeast of the Bahamas at half way between Miami and Puerto Rico. They cover 193 square miles and are surrounded by a continuous coral reef. The islands are made of two groups of island –  the Turks Islands and the Caicos Islands. The islands are one giant wall, with 6000 feet of vertical drop circling the islands. Many wrecks have been sacrificed to the sea and provide shelter to a vast aquatic life.

The trip was great. I did all 27 dives. The crew was wonderful: knowledgeable, attentive, and lots of fun. The boat was very nice. When moored it swung like crazy which made it challenging to find the boat. We had a VIP room. It didn't seem that much bigger than the standard rooms. Not worth the extra money. Food was only average. It was a bit spicy and I am not the only one who thought so. The dive sites tended to be a little deep, they were all starting at about 50 feet or deeper. The reefs were nice, better than in the Bahamas. Because I travel a lot, I didn't see a lot of new stuff, except for a different nudibranch. We saw some big stuff: sharks and turtles. We enjoyed the macro. One dive master was amazing when it came to finding the small critters. Overall, it was very enjoyable....

Sitting in T & C airport headed home. The trip was absolutely terrific. I was pleasantly surprised how nice the boat was. Much nicer than any of the other boats I've been on. The crew was excellent and very attentive. The diving was really good. Lots of sharks and other good stuff. I would highly recommend the Explorer charter. Would definitely do it again....
