Turks & Caicos, Explorer II, June 5-12 2021
My Mom and I had a fabulous time! The dives were awesome and even though we did two dives at each site, the guides would take us in different directions so there was always something new to see. The cabins were clean, the beds comfortable and the food was great. Above all, the crew was attentive, fun, funny and just simply fantastic!
