Comments	Quick note first- this used to be the Aggressor and the new owner who owns both Aggressor and Dancer fleets moved it into the Dancer fleet. The boat is very well laid out and it was nice having a total of 10 passengers on board. Nearly everyone got along very well- nearly all were considerate divers. The layout of the dive deck at the back of the boat at the waterline was great- just gear up and step off- the crew was attentive at the end of the dive- helping a lot with getting up the ladder and assisting us with our gear. We had one difficult passenger on board and they handled the situation with grace. The food was well prepared and varied- it is always amazing what the chefs on these boats prepare and this one was exceptionally good. The staterooms are typical liveaboard- cramped but with enough room unless you overpacked. The boat was kept very clean and the facilities are all well maintained. The sharks we saw were on shark feed dives- these were well done and interesting but we did not encounter a lot just out in the blue. The only bad thing was out of the control of the crew and that was the weather. It was Early August and I thought that would be a good time but it wasn't- so the vis was affected and we sometimes found the boat was swinging away from us at the end of the dive so we had to swim a bit. Even with the weather - I could tell that Fiji is clearly one of the prettiest places I have even been and the most colorful. I was very pleased with the operation of the boat and crew and plan to come back another time of the year.
