Comments Captain Sam, Matt, Yannis, Jojo and Diane were awesome - this was once of the best crews I've encountered. It was Aggressor service times two!

They were very accomodating and always wanted to dive with people. From Captain Sam down all crew members in the water really gave great tours for those that wanted them. For the newer divers on the boat this worked out great for them.

Anything we needed, wanted or wasn't working the crew promptly fulfilled or dealt with it.

We were unable to make the crossing to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac due to weather. Some sites we dove earlier in the week still showed signs of Huricane damage (West side), then as we moved to the East side it was pristine and plush.

The turtles were smaller than expected, smaller fish life was excellent and beautiful formations. Good inverts and night life during twilight/night dives.

We left some bags on shore as per requested and the Aggressor van was broken into before they were transferred to the office. So, we came back to missing bags and some extra equipment we left in the bags.

The local operation promptly took us to get a replacement bag to get us home, then within 2 months we received a check for all our lost items.

This was our 2nd Aggressor trip and the Captain and Crew set a new high water mark.

UW Photo Comments Typical Aggressor - large camera table, fresh water rinse tank and plenty of room for chargers and spares. Photo pro was new and on his trial trip and didn't offer much still photo advice. Although he took nice trip pictures.

Video pro made a great video, but didn't have too much input or advice.
