Comments On the Aggressor V, the accommodations, food and service were excellent. The crew was attentive and helpful. The diving though was somewhat disappointing. Due to rough seas, the boat was unable to get to Little Cayman. All of the diving was just off of 7 Mile Beach, except for an excursion to Stingray City and one around the south end of the island to Pedro's Castle. The trip to Stingray City was a very rough ride getting there, and once in the water the current was fierce. And no stingrays showed up.

The reef off of 7 Mile Beach had significant patches of red algae and there were many fewer fish than I recall from previous trips to the Caymans. That being said, we did enjoy the trip and managed to capture a number of good photos. The crew and other guests made for a fun week.

Overall rating for UWP's 3 stars Shore Facilities N/A
UW Photo Comments Subject matter much more limited than past trips to the Caymans. May be due to areas of reddish algae, but overall the quality of the coral and the number and variety of fish were disappointing. On a posotive note, we only saw three lion fish the entire trip.
