Comments	Went on the Turks & Caicos Aggressor II for two weeks back-to-back over the Christmas/New Year's Holiday. Weather was absolutely spectacular all 14 days (what luck!!). In fact, the weather was soooo good that during the Christmas week we were able to sail way out to West Sand Spit . . . a dive site rarely visited by anyone. Last time the Aggressor was there was six months ago and the vis was poor. This time the vis was 80 to 100 feet! What a treat!! I've been on a few dive boats in the Caribbean in my lifetime. I must say that the T&C Aggressor is probably the best dive boat sailing the Caribbean today. Designed and built from the hull up by Captain Piers Van Der Walt, the T&C Aggressor II has every modern convenience a diver would want in a liveaboard dive ship. Yeah . . . it's a little more expensive than other liveaboards, but it's worth every penny of the extra cost. I think part of the magic of the T&C Aggressor is the fact that Piers Van Der Walt is Owner, Designer, and Captain of the ship. If I'm not mistaken, Piers is one of the few Owner/Operators of high-end liveaboard dive ships sailing the Caribbean. There's a lot of pride-of-ownership visible in this operation! Which brings me to the crew . . . Amanda (Photo Pro), Lucie (Video Pro), Brian (Instructor) and Cyril (Cook). I've been on the T&C Aggressor for four weeks over the past two years. I marvel at Piers' ability to always have the best crews sailing the Caribbean. They made the trip that much more special to all of the guests.
