Bahamas Aggressor, Bahamas

Great crew, good dives, tired boat. I will return to do Tiger Beach!

The diving and crew were great, but the board is showing its age. We waiting a few hours on departure day for parts to be delivered to repair one of the generators. The A/C for half of the boat (my half) was not working properly. I missed having a comfortable lounge area inside like most of the Aggressors have to just hang out and chat with the other divers. In the cabin, our bathroom door fell off twice. I was able to fix it the 1st time because only the top pin came out. The second time, the door came all the way off and almost pulled me to the ground trying to save it. Julian did get it fixed quickly, but it was dangerous. We had really sketchy weather on our last day and only got one dive in, and that was a little dangerous. Once we returned to the dock early, again the generator and A/C were being worked on. They never got the A/C working in our half of the boat and we had to be transported in the storm to a hotel for our last night. (The hotel was excellent, though.) Gustavo and the rest of the crew did the best with what they had, but the boat needs a lot of work.

Crew was FANTASTIC.. Chef was outstanding having to deal with many food challenges (lactose-free, vegetarian, shellfish allergies).. Ability to provide diving opportunities when the weather was uncooperative..

Would definitely do anothet liveaboard!

I had a great time and enjoyed the diving, food and the overall experience.

Would not recommend to book the Bahamas Aggressor.

As far as my cabin, The privacy glass film was scratched away (baseball sized hole) in a section revealing the shower/toilet inside and being that I was sharing with a stranger, that was a bit uncomfortable. On the first day, I ripped a piece of duct tape that was being used to keep the glass within the shower door frame because it was broken. I ripped apart several pieces of the duct to cover up the see through holes. Next, our toilet leaked toilet water into our shower every time we flush the toilet I checked with another guest and their toilet did not do this. Gross. The boat was dated and you could tell. The food 90% of the time was awful. One of the sauces was melted peanut butter… With snapper. Everything was seasoned and spiced which is an indication that someone can’t cook. A lot of the fruit was either spoiled. I had mold on some of my raspberries / blackberries. I didn’t think it was very sanitary that meat like chicken was left out all night in the sink to thaw and by the following day it was room temperature. On the last day back in Port the morning that we woke up the boat was a mess And the water was shut off, so no one could flush their toilets all night. The crew was decent. I felt that the captain didn’t care at times. Prior to one particular night dive, The divers, including myself were all talking about this one night dive site. The seafloor was 80 feet we had been diving deep for the day. The visibility was extremely poor, There was a decent current, and the water was chummed for the sharks all day. We didn’t want to dive here. We wanted to dive somewhere shallower. The captain insisted that this is where we’re diving and it’s going to be the same conditions everywhere. After some discussion, we persuaded the captain to move dive sites, which was about a 5 to 6 minute boat ride. Upon entering the water in the 18 foot depth, 35 minutes in, the swells picked up, there was lightning, and a storm was coming here. The captain did jump in the water to aid in getting everyone out, but the communication was not great. There should have been nine taps on the ladder in groupings of 3 to communicate to cancel the dive. The captain jumped in the water and ate it and getting everyone to the ladder. One young girl (15 years old) had her gear removed and was tossed towards the ladder, resulting in smashing her knee into it, and it kept her from diving For the remainder of the trip, two days. My gripe is that if we had dove that 80 foot dives site with the current ripping and the storm coming in it would’ve either been a search and rescue. There’s a possibility that we would have divers. I understand that things happen, but I don’t feel that safety was the biggest concern here. After speaking to other divers about this boat, they all had the same consensus, and they were from all From different parts of the world. They have done other aggressors in the past, and they all said That This was the worst aggressor. Oh, I almost forgot the AC stop working one night into the following day, which was a bummer. They got it fixed though. On three separate occasions, my buddy and I had to come back a little early for the dive maybe 25-30 minutes. There was no one on deck watching for divers, No assistance. Other than that, the diving was great Although no tiger sharks, but it is what it is. It’s hard for me to recommend other aggressors because this was my first Aggressor and livaboard so if this is any indication of the Aggressors, I won’t be back and I won’t recommend.

Diving. Diving. Not having to breakdown my gear.

My travel was a nightmare, and the boat experirnce was mixed due to old boat

Mixed. Great crew but old (1974)boat needing complete refitting. Lost A/C 3 nights out of 7 in stifling heat in dining salon and 4 cabins, including ours. Similar problem with nitrox compressor resulting in yo-yo percentage of O2. Weather was good after blowout on first diving day.

The crew, the tiger sharks and the food

The crew did an amazing job with a pretty worn out boat

The deck party the last night was fun and gave everyone a chance to open up more. The diving around Eluthura was clear and the limestone formations and sponges were beautiful

The crew and the guests had a nice rapore. The diving was varied and the weather window was pretty good.
