Overall Rating

The crew is phenomenal! Captain Eddy, divemasters Nestor and Sasha, cook
Candy and steward John all do an excellent job of making you as comfortable
as possible, and attending to your every wish.

Although I have been on better reefs, the crew made the diving exciting and
very enjoyable. One of them (Eddy, Nestor, or Sasha) always went on the
dive to point out the critters, most of which I probably would never have
found. Although you can dive your own profile, I found it very worthwhile
to follow them, at least for part of the dive. 

Miss Candy prepared excellent meals and snacks. A continental breakfast was
available at 6:30, with a hot breakfast served at 7:00. Fruit was always
available. Lunches included a delicious homemade soup and a make-your-own
sandwich or pasta. Dinners were a meat or fish dish followed by a unique
desert. Some meals were barbequed and served on the Sun Deck. Morning
snacks (between dives) were usually brownies, cookies, or muffins.
Afternoon snacks were usually chicken wings, conk fritters, and the like.
Hot cocoa was served after each night dive. The crew served wine and cheese
to the guests the last night (Friday) aboard. John kept the rooms clean and
tidy.

 The first dive of the day was at 8:00AM, followed by a mid morning dive
about 10:30. The first afternoon dive was about 2:00, and the second
afternoon dive about 4:30. The night dive was after dinner, usually about
7:30. Occasionally the morning dive was changed to 7:00, with the hot
breakfast following the dive, to arrive at a dive site before the land
based operations arrived.

Utila and Roatan are especially good for macro photography on many of the
reefs. We also saw scorpion fish, green and spotted moray eels, octopus,
turtles, nurse sharks, and many kinds of fish. The Captains log, prepared
by one of the divemasters at the end of each trip and posted on the
Aggressor web site, www.aggressor.com, provides a very detailed description
of each days diving during the week. Therefore, I will not go into detail
on the diving.

Overall, the Utila Aggressor is, in my opinion, an excellent (*****) value.
