This was an awesome week
This was an awesome week. We saw so much life in the water and on land. The Tiburon Explorer was great and the crew was even better. From the food to the diving to the accomodations I'm not sure it could have got any better. We ate like kings and the service was some of the best out there. The diving and dive masters were great. All on hands on deck when getting ready to dive and when we came back from diving. Very detailed briefings and safety was their priority. The service while not diving was top notch. I would definitely recommend this boat to anyone and will probably be back soon to take more divers.

Hi Nick. Thank you for such a great review, what a week. We’re so glad to hear your time aboard the Tiburon Explorer delivered across the board, from the diving and marine life to the food, service, and overall experience. It’s great to know the crew, dive team, and strong focus on safety all stood out.
We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team, they’ll really appreciate it. Thank you as well for the recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you and your divers back onboard again soon.
Once In a Lifetime
Seeing the whales is a once in a lifetime event.
Excellent!! To sum it up.
The staff was amazing. Very helpful above and beyond in every way!!!!!!
They, Tom and Gillian, went well out of their way for me. I lost an item at the hotel stay before boarding the boat. They made the very special trip to the hotel to recover my item. I wouldn't trust that another company would be so kind. I can't thank them enough for taking special care of me.
They took care of everyone with the most caring and genuine manner. Everyone was made to feel special.
The guides were amazing. Taking care of everyone on the tenders and in the water with the whales. They made it a truly special vacation.
I would recommend this trip to anyone that ever considered a trip to Silver Banks. I would never even consider any other company. You shouldn't either.
The boat and tenders were very well maintained. They worked diligently to resolve any issue quickly. It was very comfortable.
The food was good and the variety was nice. Preparing special food for those with dietary needs.
The service was excellent. Everyone worked so well together. Everything was so perfectly in order. Not a thing out of place.
A little piece of chocolate on your bed at night time was such a sweet touch.

Excellent week aboard the Black Pearl
My week aboard the Black Pearl was fantastic! The rooms were comfortable, the food was great, the staff was attentive and personable. The diving was fantastic and I felt that the guides were safety focused and wanted to ensure we had great dives. One of the things I was not expecting and absolutely LOVED was the boat coats on both of the boats we would dive from each day. It made a huge difference in comfort and was just an amazing touch that was above and beyond.
My only suggestion is to bring down the price for beer, wine, drinks. We would likely have had 1 or 2 for happy hour each day or a glass of wine with dinner, had it not been so over the top expensive ($14 for basic drink like rum and coke, for example). But that is a minor thing compared to the amazing overall experience.

Hi Janelle, Thank you for sharing, we’re so glad to hear you had such a great week aboard the Black Pearl Explorer. It’s great to know the diving, crew, and overall experience all delivered, and that the focus on safety stood out.
And we love that the boat coats were a highlight—those small touches really can make a difference so we love to hear it! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team.
We also appreciate your feedback on drink pricing. While operating in a remote region does come with added challenges when it comes to sourcing certain items, we always aim to clearly communicate what to expect ahead of time, with details and pricing available on our website and in pre-trip materials.
We’re so glad it was an amazing trip overall and would love to have you back to dive with us again anytime!

The boat is in need of a vacation of its own
The boat is in need of a vacation. The time to renew it. It is worn and tattered. The beds are hard as a rock, but the rooms were clean and tidy. I felt that the crew should listen more to the customers when they express their wants on dives. We asked for particular diving and were taken only to the larger sites with 20 other boats, and never to the shallower sites after two deep dives to look for smaller species. All other liveaboards we have experienced, at least 5, have 4 dives per day and one night die on the trip. This one had lots of downtime and the boat move very very little. From Port, to a short distance behind a reef where you couldn't see port. Very little time was saved from the other option of land based dive shops. And last, all other liveaboards we have used, beer and wine were free. Yours were like paying for a drink at the airport. $8.00 for a beer $10.00 for a small glass of wine. $4.00 for a coke and $15.00 for a mixed drink. Lots of down time to lay on the tattered cushions, and after the cost of the liveaboard, sure hated to spend another $300 on sodas and wine. Not many perks while on your boat. Just a little disappointed in the experience with your liveaboard over all.

Hi Kim, Thank you for taking the time to share about your time aboard the Black Pearl Explorer. We're glad to hear you found the cabins clean and tidy, and we appreciate you outlining your experience.
While details on dive operations and what to expect are provided in advance through our website and pre-trip materials, we understand that each guest comes with their own preferences and expectations. Dive plans and site selection in Palau are shaped by conditions, safety, and logistics, with a focus on accessing the area’s unique sites, which can influence how each day is structured.
In the same way, the dive schedule is built around those factors. And it’s important to note that many of the sites in Palau are on the deeper side, so the number of dives per day is planned accordingly with safety in mind.
Inclusions and onboard pricing are also outlined ahead of time. While offerings can vary across liveaboards, operating in a remote region does come with added challenges when it comes to sourcing certain items.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and experience with us and have passed your comments along to the team. Thank you and happy diving!

Epic
What an incredible trip aboard the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos! This beautiful, modern yacht (built in 2020) is truly the premier liveaboard for scuba diving here—spacious, comfortable, and perfectly set up for divers. The 9 air-conditioned staterooms with private bathrooms and ocean views made every day feel luxurious, and the sun deck with the hot tub was the perfect spot to relax after epic dives.
Daniel and Kebin were amazing—thorough, safe, and incredibly knowledgeable dive masters who made every dive feel secure and exciting. They really know the sites and looked out for everyone. The entire crew of 9 (plus the wonderful Captain) was so attentive, polite, and genuinely caring—always ready with a smile, helping with gear, and making sure everything ran smoothly. The food was outstanding: very tasty, fresh, and varied—every meal felt like a treat.
The diving itself was absolutely epic—schools of hammerheads, whale sharks, playful sea lions, marine iguanas, turtles, and so much more. The Galapagos underwater world is unreal, and this boat gets you to the best spots flawlessly. Everything from the large dive deck with camera tables and charging stations to the pangas for easy entries made the experience seamless.
This was one of the best dive trips of my life. I can't wait to return—highly recommend the Tiburon Explorer to anyone serious about Galapagos diving. You won't be disappointed!

Blue Manta
We were welcomed on the boat by the boat director, Cedric, who was really helpful with regard to the boat, kit set up and very entertaining and knowledgeable dive briefings.
The diving was exceptional and made easy by the fact that you only have 4 divers per dive guide, who are all Divemaster's. Our Guide was "Rolly" who could not do enough for us and was superb at finding everything on the dives.
The rooms are spacious and well looked after daily and food variation for all meals was excellent. Breakfast and lunch being buffet style and the evening meal served to you.
This was a bucket list trip and we were not disappointed. Thoroughly recommend.

Whales on silverbank
The food is freshly prepared, different each day and very tasty. Compliments to the chef :-)
The accommodation clean and comfortable.
The crew are all friendly and helpful, and did their best each day to find us whales to watch and swim with where possible. Whales are wild animals, sea conditions are variable, and safety is top of the agenda. There were 9 outings on the tenders during the week I was there, I was able to swim with whales on 3 of those outings. I missed the first opportunity due to sea-sickness on the outbound crossing.
I was helped by two really lovely crew members when in the water as I had difficulty keeping up with the group. The whales are like huge, magical, mystical beings. It was extremely humbling to be in their presence. Definitely 5*
I found one member of the tender team to be rather over zealous with regards keeping guests in line in the water, physically pushing and pulling folk, and constantly swimming in front of guests which was really annoying, and put me off getting in the water. Perhaps the team need to find a better way to keep guests in a line if it is that important?
It's an expensive trip, something I had to save hard for, and I didn't like being told how much gratuities to give. I should be able to give what I can afford, and what I felt was deserved, and I would have liked to have been able to reward those that I felt helped me most rather than the gratuities being split equally... whilst I appreciate the crew work as a team, I felt certain members of the crew did more and deserved more than others.
