Social Moments that made an impact | Explorer Ventures Diving Community.
As 2025 unfolds, one thing is clear across Explorer Ventures Fleet’s social channels: the community responds most strongly to stories that combine real diving experiences, meaningful value, and a shared love for the ocean.
From major sales announcements to unforgettable wildlife encounters and conservation-focused storytelling, the year’s top-performing social posts offer a snapshot of what divers care about most – and what continues to connect people to liveaboard diving.
Here’s a look at some of the standout themes and moments from Explorer Ventures Fleet’s highest-performing social content so far this year.
Dive Deals That Help Divers Say “Yes”
Unsurprisingly, some of the strongest-performing posts of 2025 centered around clear, timely opportunities to get on the water.
The 2025 Year of Savings announcement reached tens of thousands of divers across platforms, resonating with travelers ready to plan ahead and lock in value. Posts highlighting straightforward savings – paired with iconic destinations like the Galápagos, Maldives, Palau, and the Caribbean – consistently drove strong reach and clicks.
Short-window promotions, such as the CRAZY. INSANE. SALE., also performed well, especially when paired with clear dates, pricing transparency, and direct calls to action. These posts reinforced something Explorer Ventures Fleet guests already appreciate: when a good opportunity comes up, clarity matters.
Real Moments at Sea (Because the Ocean Steals the Show)
Some of the most engaging posts of the year weren’t planned promotions at all – they were genuine moments underwater.
A dolphin selfie encounter aboard the Caribbean Explorer II sparked high engagement, reminding divers why liveaboard trips feel so different from everyday life. These kinds of posts consistently perform well because they capture what can’t be scripted: curiosity, surprise, and connection with marine life.
Similarly, video content showcasing Galápagos diving—from hammerhead schools to whale sharks—performed strongly by letting the experience speak for itself.
Conservation Stories That Feel Personal
Sustainability-focused posts also stood out, particularly when they centered on people rather than policies.
Earth Month content highlighting the Dive Green® program, partnerships with Green Fins, and onboard conservation efforts resonated deeply—especially when paired with real faces and stories, like youth ocean advocates diving alongside the fleet.
Posts celebrating partners such as the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund, including recognition in National Geographic, saw strong engagement as well. These stories reinforced a message that matters to many divers today: adventure and ocean stewardship go hand in hand.
Behind-the-Scenes and Fleet Updates
Another clear takeaway from 2025’s top content: divers love seeing what happens behind the scenes.
Updates from dry dock—like the Caribbean Explorer II glow-up—performed well by offering a glimpse into the care, maintenance, and effort that goes into keeping vessels comfortable and ready for adventure. These posts help demystify liveaboard operations and build confidence through transparency rather than promises.
