Typical Aggressor - large camera table, fresh water rinse tank and plenty
of room for chargers and spares.  Photo pro was new and on his trial trip
and didn't offer much still photo advice.  Although he took nice trip
pictures.

Video pro made a great video, but didn't have too  much input or advice.

Captain Sam, Matt, Yannis, Jojo and Diane were awesome - this was once of
the best crews I've encountered.  It was Aggressor service times two!

They were very accomodating and always wanted to dive with people.  From
Captain Sam down all crew members in the water really gave great tours for
those that wanted them.  For the newer divers on the boat this worked out
great for them.

Anything we needed, wanted or wasn't working the crew promptly fulfilled or
dealt with it.

We were unable to make the crossing to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac due to
weather.  Some sites we dove earlier in the week still showed signs of
Huricane damage (West side), then as we moved to the East side it was
pristine and plush.

The turtles were smaller than expected, smaller fish life was excellent and
beautiful formations.  Good inverts and night life during twilight/night
dives.

We left some bags on shore as per requested and the Aggressor van was
broken into before they were transferred to the office.  So, we came back
to missing bags and some extra equipment we left in the bags.

The local operation promptly took us to get a replacement bag to get us
home, then within 2 months we received a check for all our lost items.

This was our 2nd Aggressor trip and the Captain and Crew set a new high
water mark.
