Seafari Explorer 2 Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Seafari Explorer 2 Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Great tour. The 15-day tour started in the south and already at the beginning the tiger sharks were of course an amazing experience. In search of hammerhead sharks, manta rays and whale sharks, the crew tried very hard to get the best options out of it. The dives took place in well-coordinated small groups and it was tailored to individual needs. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and all guests were well taken care of. The cabins were great, just like the rest of the boat. At the end of the tour, all the equipment was washed and dried for the guests. I would go again at any time”

Recommended for: Perfectly coordinated crew, great service around the clock, many great dives.
