Liveaboards in Palau

[jazzy mermaid]

I am perplexed as to which liveaborad would satisfy the relaxing atmosphere I woulld like andd the dive, dive, dive vacation that my husband is interested in. I also, would like to have good food and some time to tour. Agressor has had some bad press and Ocean Hunter seems nice but I can't get anyone to respond to my inquiries. I am soooo confused. Any other suggestions

We did Big Blue Explorer over New Year's (and spent Xmas in Yap, yes, they celebrate Xmas there)

I'd go back in a NY minute. The Aggressor moors inside the lagoon. The BBE outside, but they are 1/2 mile apart. All go to the same sites, and BBE's boat rides are a touch shorter. If there are seas, I suppose being in the lagoon is better, but the BBE is a real ship. used to be a Japanese radio ship, or something or other, lots of character.

I'd do BBE .. and Yap.. again in a heartbeat

Hi,
Aggressor, Ocean Hunter and BBE which one offers the best experience?

My husband and I are considering these vessel's for this years Christmas/ New Year's trip.

Also, besides the great diving how were the accomodations and food? I am considering Ocean Hunter vs The Aggressor fleet. My husband wants the dive, dive dive vacation and I want the relaxing dive when I get to it vacation. Now I have BBE to consider.....ohhhhh I am so confused. Let us know your thoughts.

Thanks,
