The world-recognized fleet won 16 awards at Scuba Diving 2023 Reader’s Choice.
Explorer Ventures Fleet’s liveaboard Turks & Caicos Explorer II was rated #1 for Quality of Staff and Quality of Berths in Scuba Diving’s 2023 Reader’s Choice awards. The liveaboards Turks & Caicos Explorer II (Turks & Caicos Islands) and Humboldt Explorer (Galapagos Islands) have been recognized for 16 awards combined.
These awards are significant for Explorer Ventures Fleet as the company’s long-standing motto is ‘come as a guest, leave as family.’ They are delighted that their staff’s hard work, knowledge, and enthusiasm has been acknowledged by divers. Notably, two crew on Turks & Caicos Explorer II have been with the fleet for 10 and 22 years. Also, multiple office members have been with the company for between 15-20 years. Everyone at Explorer Ventures truly loves what they do, and they’re glad it shows.
“I don’t even know where to start. As a business owner in the dive industry, I know a tightly run ship when I see one. Bringing our customers to another company for a dive vacation for the first time always is a bit worrisome because you don’t know how things will go. This was an amazing experience for all of us in so many ways.” – Yvette (July 2022)
