What is the liveaboard ship like?

The M/V Turks & Caicos Explorer II comfortably accommodates 20 passengers in 10 double staterooms spread out over three decks. Each cabin has private bathroom facilities, individually-controlled air conditioning, hanging closet and wardrobe. 

The air-conditioned main salon on the main deck includes dining tables, TV, CD/DVD, video library and lounge area. A large sundeck with lounge chairs and buffet area is located aft of the upstairs deckhouse, which contains two additional passenger staterooms, pilothouse, and Captain’s cabin. A large, awning-covered flybridge with wet bar, barbecue and seating for 12 to 15 is accessed from the sun deck as well.

The dive deck is equipped with a bathroom, individual gear bins, camera table, recharging station, air and nitrox filling stations, tank racks, freshwater showers, and a separate fresh water rinse for both scuba and underwater camera equipment. There are two large stairways accessing the dive platform, where two in-water ladders hang for easy access to and from the water. The Turks & Caicos Explorer II is also equipped with a satellite telephone for outgoing calls worldwide.
