As usual, the Aggressors are set up wonderfully for UWPs. I was the only
diver shooting conventional 35mm film. great, prompt on board processing.
Great computer facilities for the digital crowd, too.

The boat is in very good condition, and as there were only 11 of a possible
18 passengers aboard I was able to have my own cabin. I must start out by
giving highest possible praise to Andrew, the cook, for his continually
outstanding meals. A Mexican lunch, a great seafood Jambalaya dinner,
custom breakfasts, and great between dive snacks. Tons of great food.
Stingray beer was on tap for after the last dive, and your choice of a
pretty darn decent Merlot or Chardonnay was available with dinner. The
Merlot put me in bed pretty early a couple of nights!

The weather put us on the South side of Grand Cayman for the week. I've
been going to the Caymans for about 20 years, but this was the first time
to extensively dive the south side. It was good enough and pristine enough
that I didnt really miss Little Cayman. Lots of big and little fish
(including tarpon), morays, turtles, stingrays, eagle rays, and tons of
macro subjects. I give the CAIV a rock solid 5 star rating for food, drink,
diving convenience, cleanliness, and especially the great crew.

Thanks to Capt. Tom, Andrew, Nick, Davis, Fergie and Jim for the great
time. I will be back.
