Comments [None] The British Virgin Islands Aggressor is based in Tortola for 7 nights and 8 days of scuba diving. I stayed at the Maria by the Sea Hotel (3 stars) for 1.5 days before boarding and a few minutes from the BVI boat dock just a few minutes. The hotel was perfect for our purposes. Both Cape Air and Jet Blue lost or misplaced our dive bags. One dive bag was 1day late.
The BVI Aggressor was in excellent condition. All dive and boat staff were professional, friendly, and provided excellent service! Safety, dive and boat operations, and reacting to a medical emergency were conducted with excellent skills and professionalism!
All dives are from 2 tinder boats, and the layout of the tinder boats for comfort and safety could have been more desirable—no rinse tanks, except for cameras.
Thanks to the dive crew and boat staff who worked diligently to lessen the shortcomings of the tinder boats.
I had an incredible scuba diving trip and a fun time.
