Dive brieffings, dives and guides

The crew were exceptional and made all the guests comfortable and cared for. Had such a lovely time on board!

Attention to details, top class, crew is amazing, and the leading in and trips breathtaking. I will be back. Love the trip, culture, and animals. And the captain and crew are absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much!!!

I've had many liveabord divetrips, but this is definetly the best I've ever have. Not only mention how the ship is very well maintain, clean, comfortable, and good dive deck. What make it perfect is the crew service. All crew work so hard, Salomon and Herman really give their best service, Daniel and Rony taking care of us from briefing and diving, even the captain involve in our dive preparation. The chef must be from michelin 5 star top restaurant and responsible for all my belly fat after the trip. I can't mention other crews one by one for all the fantastic jobs they've done. Respect.

Galapagos is the best, and the Tiburon Explorer delivered on all parameters. Book it through @galapagosdiving on Instagram and wow, what a trip. Big and comfy boat, superb food and underwater world is out of this world. Great guides and diving.

Tripnya sangat mengesankan, makanan dan keramahan krunya bagus, beda dengan biasanya kru kapal lain. 👍👍👍

I was on the Explorer II in Turks and Caicos. The crew does a wonderful job on everything from in the kitchen to leading groups to dive sites. Pumpkin has the great laid-back island personality; Val is extremely knowledgeable and always ready to assist, and Jenny does a wonderful job keeping things flowing smoothly as well as doing whatever is necessary to make sure you have memorable experience.

Crew was outstanding! Special thanks to Robyn, Marc and Sheldon. Their commitment to safety, marine conservation and customer service made them true standouts. And they made it FUN!!! A credit to Explorer Adventures. Captain Ramon was top notch, went out of his way ensuring every guest on board was tended to. Always available to assist on the dive platform, dining area, wherever his crew was and always with a smile. Thank you Mr T for keeping us with warm fresh water, lights, and AC! The Chef outdid himself. And Tevin gave me a tour of the wheelhouse and a crash course in navigation. I’m ready to join the crew now!

I did have a few blips on the administrative side which I’ve addressed with EV privately and await feedback. Overall a great experience, would love to dive with this crew again. Thanks for the bubbles and the memories!

The boat was beautiful and clean. The staff could not be better! So impressed w the crew- very helpful, friendly and hard working to make our trip fabulous! It was an amazing trip thanks to the crew. Could not recommend high enough. Thank you!!

We had an experience of a lifetime! The boat was top notch, the staff was extremely attentive and accommodating, and the food and drinks were abundant and delicious. It was hard to leave!

Amazing crew. They were all very nice and very helpful. I will definitely recommend the Humboldt Explorer.

It was great from start to finish, thank you!

Great Liveaboard with all you need for a good diving holyday expireance!

The boat, the crew and the captain were Amazing!! The dives were phenomenal. I would highly recommend to all divers to experience it!!

What wonderful people!
They worked extremely hard to make our trip great!
I will be diving with them again!!

Excellent crew and amazing food!
The dive masters were great. They were knowledgeable, aware of the group, competent, and above all excited for the dives they had planned.
I loved the layout of the boat and the ease we were able to get geared up, into and out of the water.
Great dive locations with something for all diving levels.
The warm towels and hot chocolate after each night dive were a wonderful touch.

The people are what made this a great experience. I already knew the captain Ramon from a previous trip to the Socorro Islands. He is always so cordial and very passionate about his job and his crew and truly does want us to have a great experience. It’s a relatively small boat and therefore it was easy to get to know everybody, including the two DM’s Robyn and Damien. They did an excellent job of guiding and picking the dives and they have two distinct personalities that really makes the experience wonderful.

Both my wife and I have been having troubles with our knees and the crew accommodated us so well. Not only captain Ramon, but also Jonathan and Jerman we’re really helpful in getting us in and out of the boat and really have very pleasant personalities. Meagan was helpful and very accommodating both on the dive deck and upstairs in the lounge. As an early riser, it was great to say good morning to Tevin and good evening as he was the night guy.

As for the food, it was really quite spectacular with Julian constantly working day and night to feed us. For a dive boat, the food was varied and always tasty.

The boat itself wasn’t the most luxurious we’ve been in, but actually was very functional, however, again because of my bad knees, it was difficult to get around with the high threshold of the door into the quarters, and all the narrow steps to go up and down. Not the boat’s fault and I guess technically I got some physiotherapy in. However, the dive deck was excellent, first time that I’ve seen a barrel with soap for rinsing off your gear between each dive. Very generous camera table an amazingly fast nitrox refill. I have to say The entry point was great, I like jumping, and the dive deck was big enough that I could take off my weights and BCD before climbing up the ladder. Again, the crew was amazing in helping me up.

I gotta say that having Percy as our consistent taxi driver to and from the boat, and the short days was really great it gave us a personalized service that often is not seen in other boats.

Overall, we had a great time, and I would love to do another trip with the captain at some point in the future. Thank you very much from Harold and Cathy.

My entire liveaboard experience was great! I was the only non-diver in the group and while the divers were gone, I felt like I was in a luxurious yacht all to my own. I spent a lot of time doing cardio and yoga on the deck. Simon always had a clean towel ready for me. Saul made sure I had water and I had the sole use of the jacuzzi (which was very clean and had the perfect temperature). The crew was very respectful of my workout space. I also enjoyed laying on the shaded areas, reading while resting on the comfortable lounge chairs and couches.

I was able to get on the panga a few times when some divers just wanted to take a ride to the rocks to see all the natural wonders and creatures of the Galapagos Islands. I also got to go on a hike at the Seymour Island and at a tortoise farm in Santa Cruz Island.

The meals, snacks, drinks, coffee, dessert were top-rate 5-Star quality. Dining service was comparable to any fine dining restaurant.
The crew was perpetually cleaning here and there (such as emptying the waste trash a few times a day).

The Captains were very professional and modeled impeccable manners to the rest of the crew.
I've already told my non-diving friends and family to check Explorer Ventures if they want top-rate experience in the other-worldly Galapagos Islands.

Galapagos - Tiburon Explorer "Trip of a Lifetime". The boat was beautiful, spacious, well outfitted and clean. I loved our room with the window in the shower so I could look outside while in the shower. The bed was very comfortable I slept so good on the trip. We had a main deck cabin - I looked at the lower deck rooms and had a little bit of "room envy" they are HUGE. Definitely grab a lower deck room if you are traveling with a non spouse/partner.

The crew was amazing! They were super nice, friendly, helpful and fun. The food onboard was fresh and delicious. Fish, chicken some beef dishes - fresh fruit at every meal and desserts, too. One person in our group was vegan and her food options looked delicious. One night they made a whole turkey WOW.

I was very impressed with the safety briefing and boat walk thru upon boarding initially. These were done one on one, showing us exits and safety equipment. They also did a group emergency drill with life jackets on the top deck. Well done!!
Everyone knows that all real sailors wear life jackets :)

Dive site briefings were informative, our guide Jonathon and the ponga drivers were spot on. We enjoyed great dives, easy in and out of the water and back to the boat. It was great how the entire crew worked together all week to make our dive vacation effortless. I love that the boat issued us all Nautilus Lifelines and showed us how to deploy in emergency. Their safety procedures are top notch. I will tell everyone who asks about the Galapagos to be sure to go on the Tiburon Explorer!

I was feeling queasy a couple days and the chef made me chicken soup... I felt so special. It was a sad day to leave - they all made me feel like family.

Prior to boarding the boat we did some land excursions and stayed in Quito and on Santa cruz island. Jennifer helped arrange our hotels and tours and made excellent suggestions on local restaurants and things to do. This trip far exceeded my expectations. 6 stars for the Tiburon.

We spent a wonderful week of diving and fun on the Sea Serpent, scuba diving in the Red Sea. The boat staff was attentive, fun, and very friendly! The dive staff was exemplary, professional, showed us many things and kept us safe. Our zodiac crews were helpful, supportive, and always there to get us! The food was superior! These were not your usual buffet meals! Food was plentiful, had great variety and taste. We had Egyptian favorites as well as International cuisine. Cabins were clean, nicely appointed, and maintained daily! You will not be disappointed with this trip and company!
