Life on board
Life on board is simple, punctuated by the ship's progress, the weather, the expedition program, moments of relaxation and animal encounters. Meals are taken on board or in the field during the bivouacs and are prepared from the stocks available on board by a person in charge of the supplies and the kitchen. The meals are shared at the table by the whole team. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, "dive returns" or "race returns" are taken hot upon arrival on board. Everyone participates daily in washing up, helping with the preparation of meals and cleaning the boat. Each person has a bunk and storage space that constitutes his or her private space. Comforters and sleeping bags are available. Sheets and sackcloth must be brought by each student (see practical information).

Travel documents
Depending on the destination, check with the embassy to see if a visa is required. In all cases, the passport must be valid for the duration of the trip.
Insurances
UTP Explorer covers the boat and its crew with third-party insurance. Interns must subscribe individually to a third-party (liability) insurance (accident, search, repatriation, decease...) for all the risks due to the activities done during the internship. A cancelling insurance and luggage lost is highly recommanded.
Physical Fitness
Diving and hiking require a good physical condition. It is also essential to be able to embark and disembark alone from the boat via the semi-rigid dinghy.
Sailing Skills
Only offshore courses require a minimum of sailing knowledge and experience. For the other courses, the trainees are invited to join the crew for the maneuvers and the navigation watches, according to their skills.

The boat has a fixed satellite phone and a mobile satellite phone. Their use is restricted and reserved.
Upon arrival, travelers have the option of sending a "welcome home" email to the person of their choice via the onboard email. No other telecommunication with the onboard equipment is allowed during the stay, except in case of emergency. If travelers wish to communicate freely, they must rent an Iridium portable satellite phone with a prepaid chip before departure.
