Tiburon Explorer November 2024

Superlative in every way!!! Diving was simply phenomenal (including schools of hammerheads at Wolf Island , whale sharks at Darwin, marine iguanas at Fernandina Island, rays, sea lions, turtles and lots more). And the live aboard experience- food, facilities, service, extra gestures here and there, was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Nice relaxing dive trip

Overall a nice trip, but I cannot say that diving was superb. Almost no large pelagic, and the visibility wasn't good at times due to bad weather. On the other hand, the diving was easy, the underwater topography in Russell Islands was stunning, the corals were very healthy, and there were many interesting macro opportunities.
The boat was spacious and well designed, with large cabins, large common areas and large dive deck. The food was good, but pretty standard, with only a few variations over the course of 10 days. The crew was very attentive, with increased focus on safety and making guests comfortable. The dive guides were always there when they were needed, but they did not make much effort in trying to find small, hard to see critters and pointing them out to divers.

Questions and Answers

What type of facilities usually can be offered?

  • Charging Stations on Dive Deck: These are designed to let divers recharge their camera batteries right where the action is. By placing charging stations on the dive deck, photographers can conveniently charge their equipment without having to change out of wetsuits or enter dry zones during surface intervals.
  • Camera Storage: Specialized compartments or lockers for securely storing cameras and other photography equipment. This ensures that your expensive gear is safe and organized, helping you quickly grab what you need before each dive.
  • Camera Table: A dedicated table often found on the dive deck, offering ample space to assemble, disassemble, or adjust your underwater camera gear. This space is optimized for photographers to prepare their cameras before plunging into the depths.
  • Separate Rinsing Tanks for Underwater Cameras: These are dedicated tanks filled with fresh water where photographers can rinse off their camera equipment after a dive. Having separate tanks prevents cross-contamination from general scuba equipment, maintaining the integrity of sensitive camera components


These facilities make underwater photography more seamless, enhancing your scuba diving experience. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro in underwater photography, these amenities offer convenience and efficiency, ensuring you capture the perfect shot every time
