MV Eco Explorer dive boat review

The MV Eco Explorer is a 46 meters liveaboard cruising around the Philippines Islands. Built in 1982, this steel hulled vessel has been upgraded since and still offers comfortable accommodations for an unforgettable adventure!

The large vessel welcomes a large number of guests, maximum 40, in 20 comfortable cabins. Indeed, the spacious cabins come complete with air-conditioning and en-suite bathroom. Plus, the shower has both cold and hot water running!

Eco Explorer’s on-board facilities

Just like it’s expected to be on such a large vessel, the Eco Explorer offers more than enough space to enjoy some privacy during a busy week! Indeed, inside and out, the dive vessel features spacious rooms and areas where you will be comfortable and feel a little like home.

Moreover, the very top deck is home to a restaurant-like covered dining area. Also, as you can see on the picture below, there is a central bar where you can get refreshments and drinks.

First, you should know that the indoor areas are fully air-conditioned. Now, you will find a sizable salon with a full entertainment system and media library to enjoy, located on the main deck. Furthermore, if you head to the upper deck (what they call the A deck) you will be pleased to find a jacuzzi! Plus, this is the main sundeck, featuring plenty of cushioned loungers.
