Comments The Roatan Aggressor was our 5th different Aggressor destination. It was the best overall, by far, of all Aggressor trips for Captain & crew, service and meals. While the other customers were all nice, fun and decent people, the Captain and crew were superior individuals and as a team. While I did not partake in their "Fintastic" service, my wife enjoyed the donning help with her freediving footwear. "Fintastic" service entails the crew putting on your fins on the dive platform and removing them while you hang on the ladder post-dive. It sounds like a small thing but its a huge help on a rolling platform crowded with divers holding cameras, torches, etc. The Captain expertly navigated between the 3 areas of diving (Roatan, Cayos Cochino & Utila) based on the weather and winds providing the smoothest cruise possible while covering a lot of ocean. Captain Alan even made it possible for us to watch post-night-dive fireworks on the 4th of July in spite of being a Brit!
