Comments	My dive Buddy and I booked on the Aggressor fleets Carib Dancer because the itinerary stated "Tiger Beach" This cost an extra $200.00 but we were glad to pay it because Bahamas Tiger Beach was a bucket list dive site of ours. This NEVER HAPPENED! We went to a site they called "Shark Paradise" on day one and saw a Tiger Shark on dive #3 , so they called that "Tiger Beach " on the dive debrief at the end of the trip. This was the only Tiger Shark seen during the 7 day trip. There were a lot of Lemon and reef sharks though . We seemed to revisit sites more than any other trip I have ever been on . The boat had some break downs and the crew worked hard (once through the night to get plumbing working) and saved the trip a couple times . I gave this trip a 4 star rating because the dives were decent with lots of sharks, but no 5 star because of the misleading Itinerary . We both contacted Aggressor and they finally replied to my Buddy . They gave some half hearted excuse and said the whole Grand Bahamas west end was considered Tiger Beach and the extra $200.00 was because they came out of a port that charged more for this trip. My buddy has taken five Aggressor trips in the last year and she only received this answer. My e-mail was never replied to. This is not what their website stated, which if it did, we would have booked elsewhere . All in All, i had a great time , got lots of photos , saw my first Loggerhead turtle , Tiger Shark , and Lemon sharks as well . BUT never hit the Tiger Beach we paid for.. I will not return on this trip..With this operator . I will go to the land based operators like Stuarts next time ti fulfill my Tiger Beach Bucket list... I would use them on the regular Bahamas live aboard itineraries though .

UW Photo Comments	The camera table was crowded and we only had three big rigs and a lot of smaller set-ups. If there were many more big rigs then it would have been an issue. The charging station was a small shelf under the camera table and VERY crowded. Bring your power strips and arrive early to claim space. The crew did handle the cameras with care , BUT twice my dome port had other camera's resting on it ..
