Comments	The Turks & Caicos Aggressor II, brand new in March 2003, is one of the nicest liveaboards around. It is the only Aggressor that is owner-operated. Captain Peirs, the owner, has great pride in his ship and works all week to keep his guests happy. Most of the crew members were accommodating and friendly. Beetle made a fantastic guide for those who wanted one. The cabins were on the first floor, salon and dive deck on the second floor, and sun deck and bar on the top. The common areas are very roomy and comfortable. The hot tub worked! The dive deck is spacious with the usual lockers under your seat and a large camera table. Dive briefings were detailed. Due to the wind and air temperature, we were always cold when exiting a dive. The solution for us was to change into dry clothes and wear sweatshirts between every dive. We joked about making 20 minute safety stops because we knew we were going to freeze when we surfaced. Almost all the dives were walls with 40’ tops, which became a bit repetitive by the end of the week, although they were good dive sites. Saw plenty of turtles, large Grouper, Queen Triggers, eels, Pederson Shrimp, Stingrays, etc. Only one sighting of an Eagle Ray for the week, and we missed it. We saw Caribbean Reef Sharks on most of the dives, sometimes pretty close up.
