Comments This is a great trip if you want easy diving in warm waters. You will not see huge fish (there were a few sharks) , but there will be lots of action. The large Groupers are a lot of fun; they would follow you seeking a little attention, just like a friendly dog. Corals were healthy.

Diving was done off the back deck, just do a giant stride to start the dive. Highlights of the diving included the Keith Tibbetts (used to be the Russian Destroyer), the Kittiwake, and the Devil's Grotto caves filled with Tarpons that were not afraid of us.

The crew of six was fantastic. This may look like a small number for the crew, but they were able to take care of us (18 divers) without any problems. Impressive.

Services included towels after each dive, hot water showers on the diving platforms, and munchies after every dive.

The food was also fantastic. I would definitely be very happy if Kingsley was the cook on my next live-aboard.

Accommodations were adequate. The cabins may have been a tad small, but there was room for all my stuff.

I would place the Cayman Aggressor at the top of my Caribbean live-aboards.
