So how was it? SOrry I Missed the week, I had to cancel last minute as my business server crashed 4 days before the trip and everything went sideways on me for me. Hoping Hurricane Lee didn't stir things up too much, looks like it stayed far enough east/North of the T&C.
I've had an exceptionally busy 2 years with no time off so was looking to book a trip on EV T&C as it's a great trip, have done this boat 2x in last 5 years and the T&C Aggressor 6 years ago. When the sale came up for Sept. 9th I jumped on it, guess I'll see you there!
The pressure was the same for all tanks, ~3100-3200 PSI if I remember correctly. As for tank holders, I apologize but do not recall if they fit in the holder as well as the 80's, or if they were held in by bungee cords. A few LOB's I've been on have had arms that were adjusted to fit the...
Regarding your question on Saba: I did CEII With my son in April 2012 (so things may have changed). While I love liveaboards, loved our trip overall on CEII, and agree that EV is more customer-friendly than Aggressor (have done 2 EV and 4 aggressor trips) I wasn't a huge fan of St. Kitts diving...
I've done T&C 3 times (land-based in the mid- '90's, Aggressor May December 2016 & T&C Explorer May 2018) and Belize twice (BAIII & IV when it was still Sun Dancer). While variety is nice and we enjoyed both I personally felt T&C was better diving. I might a little less objective as our last...
2nd computer is the answer for sure. On my first trip I was including calculating my pressure group and residual nitrogen for my logbook on the first day but with extended bottom times on the deeper dives I quickly exceeded what a table would allow. After that trip I caved and purchased a...
My son and I did 2 trips on the Aquacat and both times had multiple non-diving wives on board. Of the Liveaboards I've done the 'cat was the only one that seemed to have the option of multiple daily trips to a local sandbar or fishing or kayaking that kept them all happy. Then again, none of...
Last December we stayed at the Harbour Club Villas in Provo before for a few days before our trip on T&C Aggressor. Very quiet area a little off the beaten path, there are 6 small cottages but the are very clean and the owners couldn't be more helpful. Pretty reasonable, functional kitchens...
I too am a fan of 100 ft3 tanks, being a relatively athletic 6'7" 260 lb. diver who has been known to expend a little extra energy/air at times swimming around taking photos. Aquacat offers this without asking. With the Aggressor trips we've taken, they didn't have too much of an issue when...
Pretty great, have a few albums here:

I took my son on the Aquacat as a 13 year old newly certified diver; theoretically the Bahamas have a lot of shallow areas. Realistically many of the morning dives were as deep as any of the other trips we have since done (Cayman Aggressor, Sun Dancer/Belize Aggressor, & CEXII). Thinking back...
HI Mia. Thanks for your response and the information! I'm familiar with EV, did the CEXII two years ago and wanted to do T&C Explorer but you were sold out for the week we were coming (12/10) so we will be going wit the "other guys". But I'll probably be back with my son within the next year...
Thanks for the response, but mid-December is our window and I'd like to do a Caribbean Liveaboard with her and think we'd be best at either T&C or maybe Belize. Just trying to decide which would be best for her as a new diver, better viz and less current to battle. I did T&C land based 20...
Can anyone can give me a general idea of typical ocean conditions in T&C mid December? I'm considering the T&C Aggressor trip with my daughter who will be doing her OW checkout dives, and the warmer and calmer the better. Any feedback or suggestions on alternatives would be greatly appreciated!
Both trips are great, except as Tusiops said the best diving on the Cayman Aggressor is on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. When we went on the trip I was blissfully ignorant about how frequently the boat cannot make the crossing, we ended up making the trip but if I remember correctly it was the...
I went with my son Easter week 2011, while I did a fair amount of research I didn't realize the frequency with which they were unable to cross. Fortunately we made the crossing, but if I remember correctly they hadn't for the prior 2 or 3 weeks. and while it was supposed to be 2-3' seas ended...
My son and I did the Dancer 8 months ago. It is a little bit older than the Aggressor, but well maintained and pretty clean. Food was great. We were within sight of the Aggressor most of the trip, and while never onboard from what I've read here the Dancer's cabins are bigger but the Dive deck...
Interesting question, but I think you could narrow it down further. What I have found interesting is the menu selection, knowing that you will be diving within 60 minutes of each meal; making several flavorful dishes for hungry divers who seem to eat more than normal (or maybe that's just me...
