Comments	Aggressor II was an excellent operation. There were 10 crew for 14 guests. Dive briefings were complete. Divemaster GianCarlo was excellent as naturalist and divemaster. We had great weather: the long passage to Darwin and Wolf Islands was relatively calm. Currents were moderate for the most part but one did have to get down quickly in order to stay with the group. We were very lucky at Darwin Island and saw at least one whale shark on every dive! There were healthy schools of hammerheads numbering over 100 and flotillas of spotted eagle rays on some dives. I was very comfortable in a dry suit. Most of the others wore 7mm wetsuits and they admitted to being cold after some of the dives when the temperature was in the low 60's. Food and service were excellent, the cabins were for two and were individually air conditioned. I would definitely sign up to do this dive trip again.
