FRBest diving week in the Galapagos! Amazing boat, crew and dive guides! We had a wonderful week in the Galapagos, saw plenty of marine life (turtles, Galapagos and Hammerhead sharks, manta rays, eagle rays…). The food was amazing, the rooms and all commun spaces super comfy. We really enjoyed our time and the crew made it even more special (thanks again!). We would definitely recommend anyone to dive with the Tiburon explorer and we hope to come back soon!!

GBExceptional week CPT Rodney is an outstanding leader who always put the safety of all as his number one priority followed closely by diver experience. He communicated with us constantly keeping us aware of all events. He has developed a cohesive team that was flawless. Amber-Purser: Amber is the glue that keeps everything running smoothly. She worked tirelessly all day to make sure that all guests are taken care of. She has an infectious smile, and she brought her energy to everything she did. She was always there to answer questions, help put on gear and help others on the crew when needed. Amber is the backbone of the ship and a real team player. Do not lose her! Julian-Dive Crew: Julian is a great diver and even better dive guide. All his dive briefings were full of where to find the best stuff for that location. Julian’s commitment to divers’ safety was on full display as he called off a dive because of conditions. A true asset to the team. Henry-Dive Crew: Henry is an integral team member who is also a great diver. He always had a willingness to do whatever to make great diving even better. His sense of humor and I can make anything happen attitude makes him fun to be around. He is a rising star. Daniel-Night Watch: Daniel worked in the background making sure the boat and everything on board was always ready for the next day. A leader who the CPT could rely on while everyone was sleeping. Julian-Chef: Julian surprised us daily with new deliciousness at every meal. His skills as a chef and outrageous sense of humor were some of the high points of the week. I can’t believe he does all that in such a tiny galley. And for absolutely no reason, a salad. Terance-Engineer: Terance and I didn’t interact often, but he certainly took care of business. Never was there an issue with any hot water, air, electricity or any other form of logistics. Working in the shadows making sure passenger comfort is a top priority.

DETiburon Explorer Galapagos Tiburon Explorer, Safari 33501, Western Archipelago Route, Darwin and Wolf Island. We had a great safari. Hammerhead sharks, black and white tip sharks, glapago sharks, sunfish, turtles, dolphins, sea lions, liguana dragons, large schools of baracudas and many other species of fish. The crew was excellent. We were pampered from morning to evening. The food was also excellent

GBcan all these great reviews be wrong? Can all these great reviews be wrong? Actually...…no! Re: Blue Manta Raja Ampat 19-29/2/24. The diving was superb, the boat was ideal (being stable, safety conscious, well equipped & comfortable), the crew were spot on (a special thanks to super-spotter dive guide Vigley & extremely professional cruise director Cedric) & the food was good - what else do you want?! (perhaps anti-skid overlays on the below decks wooden stairs)

ESthe worst of my 15 life boarded cruises The boat was quite old although in acceptable condition, we sailed the entire trip listing to port. There were insects on the boat. Regarding the unprofessional diving guides, they only thought about getting out of the water, they have done nothing to look for life, they were making rings of water bubbles. Truly the worst of my 15 life boarded cruises I have ever taken.
