Seems possible. 3 is beam 22' draft 7'. 4 is beam 26' draft 8'. We were on the 4, we got in but got the sense from the captain they are cutting it close even in perfect conditions. Dunno if the smaller boat gives them enough additional margin of error in the wind.On our trip we go to dive the hole, but the 4 missed the window as there was allegedly too much wind for the size of the boat on that day. I have no evidence for this and it’s just a hypothesis, but I suspect that there is a better chance to div he hole on the 3 if you wanted to....
What week are you going? I’m on the Aggressor 3 on Dec 29-Jan 5 to BelizeAny insights to share. Heading out in December.
...I would also take athletic tape as 5 dives a day even with boots will likely create blisters somewhere...
They have lots of perm hangers above the dive ‘ready stations’ to hang your gear when you take it off. I never had an issue with Rashies etc not drying in between dives. But I also had 2 and cycled them. Also had no issues with plugs in the rooms. There were outlets and a multi outlet power bar behind the TV in the bunk room. Also lots under the TV in the main salon and on the camera station on deck. I would always take an extra power bar, but I had no issues and I have around 6 -7 electrical devices that need recharging. Gopro/iPad/Mac/cellphone/ 2 x video lights/divelight/speakers etc.Just thought I'd mention that you could wear short lycra or neoprene socks in your boots. I have the short neoprene socks. They work like a charm!
Very helpful review. I didn't realize that the Aggressor III puts a guide in the water. I had the impression that they were self-guided dives.
I have a couple of questions. Does the III have a place to dry wet gear or do we need to bring spring-loaded clips to hang gear like on some liveaboards (ex Blackbeard's)?
How about charging devices in the cabin? On Blackbeard's, the outlet was on the ceiling and they tell you to bring a surge protected extension cord to run to a shelf above the top bunk where you can charge dive computers, lights, phone, etc. In other liveaboards, we had normal cabins with wall outlets. All were 110 (regular US/CDN power). Are the outlets on the wall in the cabins?
Thanks!
