Cayman Aggressor fleet

Has anybody boarded the Cayman Aggressor Fleet? If so let me know what you thought?

The Cayman Aggressor is awesome....a very nice ship....the food was fantastic rooms and a/c were great....I am not sure what information you are asking for....but if you have never been on a liveaboard.....it will spoil you....cannot wait to go back

Good news to hear, I am getting ready to book a trip for the following year of 2008 for graduation. How is the visibility and diving? I hear nothing but good things, just making sure though. Also do they offer a shark dive of any type?

The diving is "top shelf" the viz is very good..I don't where you have been diving before in the Caribbean but I consider the Cayman Islands in the top 3 destinations in the Caribbean IMO....I have been there many times over 20 years but only once on the Aggressor but diving 3 islands for the week was the best......no shark dives persay but we saw sharks on many dives....of course the last day before you go into port they will take you to stingray city....it is pretty cool...I would say of all three islands Little Cayman was my favorite....the walls start in 30fsw and drop off into the abyss.....

Thanks a lot, your input helps, and I have been hearing nothing but god things about the Cayman Diving and the aggressor fleet

Can anyone provide a comparison between the Aggressor fleet and the Nekton operation?

I understand the Nekton boats are a little easier on those of us who are seasick.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Something I learned from spending nearly all my life on boats - there's a ship for every sea, and a sea for every ship. So, to put that into context, there are seas that will cause a SWATH design to roll more than a monohull and vice versa. I've known more than one person that was seasick on Nekton trip. I'll admit, the SWATH will roll less in the short wind-driven chop that you're likely to encounter on the Caymans.

A few Undercurrent reports mention that the captain of the CA is a bit rigid about a no-bathing-suits-indoors policy, requiring passengers to change in between dives in either the dive deck head or the camera room. Is this what you've experienced?

They don't allow wet suits in dining/salon area they want to keep that area dry...you can go downstairs to your room and change....

This has been our experience as well.

The Cayman Aggressor still remains our yardstick to measure top-shelf liveaboard diving by.

All the best, James
