Dive Review of
Turks & Cacos Explorer II in
Turks and Caicos/Cacos

Florida Keys, Hawaii, Monterey Calfiornia, Cozumel, Little Cayman, Grand
Cayman, the Windward and Leeward Islands

Dive Conditions

Remaining tank pressure and depth were collected from every dive.  The only
restriction was not to exceed 110 diving 32% NOx.  

Boat had the largest camera tank I have ever seen.  The boat also had a
dedicated camera table and 110 volt outlets -- not only on the camera deck,
but also in every room so that recharging batteries was never a problem.  

Overall Rating

Much of the diving was on pristine walls.  The top of the walls were
generally at 40-50' with the walls extending down several thousand feet. 
We saw reef sharks, nurse sharks, hawksbill turtles, spotted eagle rays and
southern rays as well as the usual caribbean reef fish.  The plate corals
and sponges were in excellent shape.  Jenn was very good at finding new
stuff we had never seen such as bumble bee shrimp and squat anenomie
shrimp.  The diving was as close to effortless as it could be.   You set up
your tank once and then it is refilled between dives with a whip.  You have
a station for your tank with storage underneath for all your stuff.  Even
with 19 of 20 possible divers on board, the boat and dive deck had a very
roomy feel.  After night dives, you were met with warm water poured down
your back after you took off the tank.  Then you could take a hot shower on
the dive deck, followed by a warm towel and hot chocolate.  JF, the
captain, found us great dive sites.  He also acted as the engineer to fix
any mechanical problems.  The rest of the crew, let by purser Jenn,
provided all the service I could have ever wanted.  We took almost four
hours of video during our 27 dives and we have some great stuff.  This was
our third trip with Explorer Ventures and I would go with them again in a
heartbeat.
