Utila Liveaboard on the Aggressor

I am planning a live aboard on the Utilia Aggressor in October. Has anyone dove with them before? Any suggestions for the trip in terms of gear, thermal protection, money to bring? All comments are appreciated.

Thanks.

Right now I'd consider the political problems in that part of the world before I commit to a trip. From your use of the word "planning" I assume that you have not yet committed.

Just made a deposit thus far. You're correct that the political unrest in the area is concerning.

My husband and I went on the Utila Agressor in April. It was our first live aboard experience and now I feel very spoiled. The crew pampered us for the week. They put a lot of effort in making sure everyone enjoyed the diving. 5 dives per day if you were willing! The food was excellent! We looked for Whale Sharks but unfortunately did not see any. You have an opportunity to see Utila the first day and the last (and that is about all you need) I highly recommend it.

My wife and I did the Utila Aggressor about 2 years ago. We've done 7 other liveaboards in addition including the old Bay Islands Aggressor. Only our trips to Indonesia can top our experience on the Utila Aggressor. The crew was great, the food was good, and the diving was outstanding. I had lived in Utila for a couple of months before taking the trip but the liveaboard was worth every penny. I saw more stuff during that week than I saw in the months on the island. I highly recommend this boat. We did the Cayman Aggressor last year and didn't think it compared at all. We'll likely do the Utila Aggressor again.
