"Explorer Ventures" runs four deluxe liveaboard dive boats in five different locations:

• Turks and Caicos Explorer II - Turks and Caicos
• Caribbean Explorer II - Southern Bahamas - Northeastern Caribbean
• MV Humboldt Explorer - Galapagos Islands
• MV Carpe Vita Explorer - Maldives

The newest addition to the Explorer Ventures liveaboard fleet is the "MV Carpe Vita Explorer".  This gorgeous 125 ft. custom built motor yacht will begin operating in the must-dive republic of the Maldives in February 2011.  This deluxe liveaboard dive boat comes complete with a matching 61 ft. dhoni dive tender and will accommodate up to 20 divers in 10 large hotel style staterooms.   The Carpe Vita Explorer operates year round and offers 7 and 10 night itineraries based on the seasons, currents and pelagic migration patterns.  

Dive the Galapagos in comfort on the new "MV Humboldt Explorer", built in Equator in 2009 specifically for diving Galapagos. She is a 106 foot, 2 level steel mono-hull vessel that was built for stability on the long crossings to Darwin and Wolf Islands. The vessel offers 6 lower and 2 upper staterooms, each with large windows, private baths and full-size twin beds that can be converted to queen beds. The enchanted islands of the Galapagos provide high-voltage diving in an area visited by a lucky few. The diving is challenging, but the rewards are great – schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, whale sharks, mantas and much much more.

The "Caribbean Explorer II" carries 18 passengers in nine air-conditioned double staterooms. Each room has a private, lavatory, shower and toilet. 7 day itineraries include up to 5 dives a day, 3 meals/day plus snacks, and all drinks. Her routes include the Bahamas and Caribbean.

Southern Bahamas:

Weekly departures are available during the spring and summer months from picturesque George Town, Bahamas. Enjoy the big-animal action, pristine walls and reefs that only the Southern Bahamas provides.

Northeastern Caribbean:

This “forts to frog fish” itinerary combines pristine diving and wonderful optional island tours. Dive the pinnacles of Saba, the wrecks & reefs of Statia, and the finger reefs and drop offs of St. Kitts.
