Comments We were on the Mike and Mike Photo Expedition on the Bahamas Aggressor. The Tiger Beach route leaves from the Old Bahama Bay Resort where many of the boat guests stayed the night before the trip. The diving usually consists of a morning reef dive and then shark dives in the Tiger Beach area the rest of the day. The reef dives were at 40-80 feet and the shark dives all shallower than 40 feet.

The boat hangs a pyramidal lure with fish inside and holes to let the scent out, but not any pieces of fish. It attracts the sharks and other fish. On every dive there were lots of sharks. The sharks circled the area and didn't seem at all interested in the divers giving opportunities for great shark photography.

The crew on the boat was great and the food was very good.


The boat is one of the older ones in the Aggressor fleet. We had cabin 2 which is toward the bow and very cramped and had limited storage space. I would only recommend that cabin if 2 people are sharing the bottom bunk (which is cozy for 2) and using the top bunk for storage. Other rooms were much nicer. The guests in other cabins were happier with their accomodations. We were told we had been on this boat years ago when it was based in Utila and found it much more comfortable in a different cabin.
