Spawning trips are a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Aboard the Black Pearl Explorer, divers will explore famous caverns, captivating wartime wrecks, action-packed channels, and pristine coral reefs. These waters are home to over 1400 species of fish, together with multiple types of sharks, manta rays, dolphins, and whale sharks!

Guests will enjoy additional storage in all staterooms and may choose, from two Master Seaview Staterooms on the upper deck fitted with queen beds. On the main deck, guests have the flexibility in the four Seaview Staterooms that now have the option for either two twin beds, or conversion to one queen bed.
