Comments	Turks & Caicos Explorer II is one of the best boats we have been on so far, and this was our sixth live-aboard trip. The cabins are clean, spacious with plenty of storage space. All cabins have in-suite showers and heads. There are two hot water showers on the dive platform. All dives are done from the boat, making a giant stride. The boat swings a lot on the mooring line mostly because of its size, and it takes getting used to when coming back to the boat. There is one dive master in the water on every dive, but people had an option to follow the dive master or dive on their own. Great crew, J.F, the captain, Jenn, Erica, Blue, Guy, Pier, Chris, all of them are very professional and a lot of fun. The food was good and Stan went out his way to accomodate people's preferences.
