Comments	The Aggressor boat is nice. They provide four dives a day with one a night dive. The food was not gourmet, but it was pretty good with an emphasis on Indonesian food. Having been in Indonesia three weeks prior to the trip I was happy when they had other items. The week that we were there they were short two major crew members, one dive master and the assistant director. The director took the place of one of the dive masters, and he was a good as the other two. But we did not get a video at the end of the trip, which was promised. That seemed to be the only difference that I could see affected us. The diving was fantastic, especially for someone who had never dived in the Pacific (except Tahiti, which really didn't count). The coral was amazing as were the fish. With the help of the divemasters we saw pigmy seahorses, and lots of other critters. We saw one manta but not really close. Being older and not having much diving experience with currents it was difficut when there was a strong current. Fortunately, we only had a few dives where this was an issue. I think they made an effort to gage the currents and try not to have us dive with them if possible. They said to bring a 3mm wetsuit, and one person was using one, but there were people who only used a shorty the whole week. I had a one and a half, but sometimes put a 1/2 mm under the top. I was not taking pictures, but they seemed to have a lot of work space for those who were. They had larger tanks for people who were using more air to switch to. Overalll the crew was really good and they went out of their way to try to make everything nice. They met us with towels when we returned to the boat. They were fun singing to us, and they seemed genuinely happy to be there. They had massages available for extra cost, and it was worth it and reommended. Overall, I think everyone was happy with the diving, the boat, the food and the trip as a whole. Our cabin, the mster, was very comfortable and had plenty of space.
