    Overview

    The 21-day Leeward Islands Explorer voyage allows participants to choose the itinerary and complete 40+ dives. Campers can spend their time in their very own tropical playground – diving, swimming, sailing, hiking dormant volcanoes, exploring, or just relaxing.

    While no two Leeward trips are alike, students start their voyage in St. Martin, then head down to St. Barts, Ile Fourchue, Sint Eustatius, Saba, Anguilla, and Sombrero Cay before ending in Tortola. Explorer voyages do not offer scuba instruction so all participants are required to be certified prior to the excursion but don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to hone your skills. You can also earn new certifications in the American Sailing Association's Basic Keelboat (ASA 101) and/or NAUI Underwater Photography.

    This unique and exciting voyage is one SeaTrek has been planning for several years. It will include four long open ocean crossings, usually done at night for better travel conditions. We then stop at Sombrero Cay, a remote rock island that we visited a few years ago. All we can say is….Wow! This will be a true “let’s see what we can find” summer program for high school students. Students can expect lots of diving, lots of sailing and lots of “let’s go see!”

    Unlike our Main Program voyages in the BVI, the Explorer Voyages do not offer scuba instruction so you will need scuba certification. We hope you are ready to dive, dive, dive because you will have the opportunity to log at least 30 dives! In most cases, program options can include school credit and scuba specialty courses like underwater photography. The ASA (American Sailing Association) Keelboat Certification is another option available on this voyage. We provide your scuba gear (minus mask, fins, snorkel, and wetsuit) and provide you with a dive computer that you can keep.

    The Leeward Islands Explorer voyage will likely fill up fast! Don’t get left sitting on the dock by not signing up for this teen summer camp. Register for this voyage or find out more by checking out our website!
