The dive deck was spacious
The dive deck was spacious and easy to move around. The box under the seat could be a bit bigger. There was a good selection of food for all meals. The dive guides were attentive and good under water.

Thanks for the great review! We’re so glad Caribbean Explorer II delivered across the board—from the dive deck setup to the food and dive team. That’s what makes a great trip come together. Hope to have you back onboard again soon!

Disappointed Liveaboard
36658 Black Pearl 12-21Jan26 First of all know this was not our first liveaboard but our most disappointing - Those others were much less expensive but proved better diving experience and good lodging and services - Will not recommend the Black Pearl An expensive trip as well as hard to get to destination - We were Very disappointed in this liveaboard - Long small boat rides to dive sites average 15 to 20 minutes - Stayed in an area where even the day boat divers were diving - A number other liveaboards were also near by - An all inclusive that charged an ridiculous amount for soda and beer - Had a couple in our group who had been previously on the Black Pearl who indicted that their past experience as better - Nice boat an outstanding crew -A crew that helped soften my disappointment because of their commitment to customer service

Hi Pete, Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. We’re glad to hear the crew’s professionalism and commitment to service stood out as a highlight for you. They work extremely hard to deliver a strong onboard experience, and that recognition is appreciated! Palau’s dive sites are accessed by skiff, and depending on conditions and marine activity, routes and site selection can vary some throughout the week. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you the very best on your future dive adventures.

Star gazing at night on the top deck…
Star gazing at night on the top deck and what I could see from my bedroom window. The week and diving was organized and scheduled. The diving experience was disappointing except for 2 dives out of the 22 that I dove. I did not like diving into the current for long distances and all the wall dives. I was wishing for some more reef diving. The dive crew was great! Mohomad was an attentive dive master as was Jake. The boat captains for the Black Pearl Meidy and dive skiff Mehmet were excellent! The room 203 was okay, not enough storage. Room service was excellent! Menus were varied, presentation was great, and meals were delicious, really enjoyed the BBQ. Great chef, bar tender and servers. Camera station was adequate.

Hi Maureen, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the stargazing, the service onboard, and the care from the team, we’ll be sure Mohomad, Jake, Meidy, Mehmet, and the hospitality crew see your kind words. It’s wonderful to hear the meals, BBQ, and overall service were highlights of your week. Palau’s diving is well known for its current-swept channels and dramatic wall profiles, which many divers love for the pelagic action they attract. That said, we completely understand that every diver connects differently with various types of underwater environments, and we appreciate you sharing your experience and perspective. We wish you happy diving on your future adventures!

Captain Billy
Captain Billy, JC and Tinkerbell were great. Absolute professionals. Everything was very well done, the only comment I have is that we should have traveled farther. We were diving Waters that people could dive on day trips from provo. That's wrong. Next time I book with any live aboard comment it's going to have to be more remote. I felt like you guys were trying to save money on gas.

The service and guides were amazing and untouchable. The food was okay. The only downfall was that for the price and being the newest ship there was so much broken and falling apart. Particle board trim falling apart everywhere being put back together with exposed screws. The bedroom was not the cleanest and the flooring was coming apart in multiple areas. This boat lacking being built with quality products and finishes.
