Comments The recent undercurrent article about this boat was a bit skewed. There are 2 sides to every story and it was a bit unfair towards Captain Roberts.
The week went smoothly, mostly all competent divers, and the crew enhanced the experience. This is my 4th time on an Aggressor in the Bay Islands, twice on the old boat, twice on the new.
My husband and I were in Cabin 1. If you are a larger person, the toilet area, although long, is quite narrow. I had 2 friends in Cabin 2 & 3 that were without roommates…and they were thankful. They said it would be impossible to close the door to the toilet while sitting on it.
The food was awesome. One of the guests was lactose intolerant and her dietary needs were met. Good set up for the photographers with separate rinse tank and hand up/down with equipment. Tank fills were generous and nitrox at perfect percentages.
Crew were great, helpful (especially with a new diver), and always in good humor. A lot of familiar faces in the crew, reflecting that the crew is content with their employment.
