West Coast Explorer is a popular liveaboard boat with younger divers from a mixed range of nationalities. The best feature of this liveaboard trip is the warm atmosphere generated by the friendly and professional staff, and this is clearly effective in ensuring that guests have a great time.
The dive deck is practical and well organised with non-slip rubber flooring, CCTV for extra safety, showers, rinse tanks and strong night lights. There is a saloon on the upper deck where you can watch a movie, listen to music on the stereo, or set up your camera and recharge batteries. There's also a variety of fish ID books if you need to identify that unusual fish that you just spotted. Milton will happily lend an educated helping hand should you need additional help. |

| Cabins, Berths, Showers, Bathrooms... |
There are six twin bunk cabins on the main deck, and two twin bunk cabins on the lower deck.
Important note: It is possible to reserve individual cabins on each cruise on a 'first-come-first-served' basis, all at the same price. We therefore recommend you request the front two cabins on the main deck first. If these are not available, then you should request the other cabins on the main deck.
All the cabins have:
- Air conditioning
- Bedding and blankets
- Towels
Additionally, the two cabins on the main deck at the bow of the boat are the largest and quietest, have large windows at the front and side giving good natural lighting, reading lights, power points and drawers. |
