Maldives Aggressor II
This was an excellent trip. The crew were mainly Sri Lankans with the Dive Masters being local Maldivians. The boat was amazing and we even sailed under sail power a few times. Beautiful accommodations and the food was a mix of western and Asian. Having lived in the Far East for many years the crew were happy to accept my request to have curry for breakfast:)
The dives were run from a separate boat with all of your equipment staying on the boat and maintained by the crew. There were 2-3 Dive Masters in the water at all times with 15 guests and the boat manager came on numerous occasions to act as the videographer.
The water was very clear with at least 100ft visibility and most dives were in the 60-80ft range with only one dive over 100ft. Sharks, Manta Rays, Whale Sharks, many varieties of Moray and Clown fish as well as the usual large schooling types of fish. Plus many wrecks.
Over all an excellent vacation.
