Hi John, apologies for the late response been a bit busy. I booked the trip with Maldives Scuba Tours who are based in Bury St Edmunds. They chartered the whole boat and I know they have a couple of charters already booked for next year. I flew Manchester to Atlanta and had to...

Yes Dora was aboard. I would imagine it wouldn't be the same if Dora was not there.

Just landed back in the UK from Socorro. What a great trip on the Rocio Del Mar. Did a total of 30 dives at various sites at the four islands. 40 seconds left on a safety stop at the 'Boiler' and three Humpback Whales came by. Schools of Hammerheads, Galapagos, Silky and Silver Tips sharks...

No night dives. Definitely leaving the torches at home. Should be able to reach the 23kg allowance on the plane with ease now. Thanks

Looks like I will leave the torch at home. Many thanks.

I am going to Socorro islands on the Rocio del Mar next week for a 13 day cruise. Having just checked their website for diving information. It says no gloves or lights, however when you watch the videos, some divers are wearing gloves and those with camera set ups have strobes/ lights. Not...

Captain's log is still showing the last entry as the 8th June. Does this mean the boat is not out in Baja doing the Greatwhite trips? I would have thought if it was in Baja the Captain would update the log to try and promote the trip. Won't be booking with the Aggressor for this type...

I have dived with them in the Maldives, only small ones. Darwins Arch in the Galapagos was unbeliverable. Massive Whale Sharks on every dive, however you must be comfortable diving out in the blue as this is where we got the best interaction. Be careful of which month you go as I know people...

Disappointing to see that you are calling UK diving having by the sounds of it very little experience. Yes it will be cold if you get wet, however that is the point of a drysuit. Try visiting Scapa for some fantastic wrecks with plenty of life and great visibilty if you go September ish...

A few of us are considering the Baja Aggressor possibly in September 2012 for cage diving with Great White sharks. The boat has been criticised a bit, however we thought it might get better once they had gained some more experience. The Captain's log has not been updated since the 8th...

I visited the Caymens Island from the UK May this year and spent a week on the Caymen Agressor IV. About the Cayman Islands The Cayman Islands, a British Colony, is made up of three islands. Grand Cayman is located 480 miles south of Miami. Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are 80 miles to...

Four of are looking at doing this trip during September 2012. Was looking to use the Baja Aggressor, however it doesn't get a good review. It looks like there are two other boats. Solmar V and Nautilus Explorer. I am surprised with the Aggressor being of sub standard. Has it been...

I have used the MV Sea Queen six times in the last six years. Not a massive boat, however all the diving is done from a Dhoni. Dive guides and crew are outstanding as is the food. The boat is run by Maldives Scuba Tours. The Sea Queen is in the Far North of the Maldives at the...

Been to the Maldives six times in the last six years and will be going back next year. So it gets my vote.

I was in Key West in May last year and it was expected to give a tip at the end of the day. Well I would have if we had got good service. It was pointed out to the dive guide that the drop tank regs were faulty. What did he do? Change them - No, he put the same tank with the faulty regs back in...

No one seems to have mentioned Yorkshire Divers (YD) which is an internet forum like scubaboard. I am Padi trained and crossed over to BSAC some 6 years ago. The club I am in talks a lot about diving but there are only a few of us who dive all year round. Dry suit for me all year. I...

It is often false economy to buy a cheaper regulator. When I started I did this and ended up spending more money by buying quality kit when I realised how much I enjoyed diving. I have a few sets of Apeks XTX200s and think they are excellent. This is after trying Aqualung and Poseidon. If...

Did a week in Koh Tao and then a week on a liveabaord diving the Similans. To be honest Koh Tao was a little boring and the dive guides were very inexperienced in fact we had to rescue one as he got tangled up when he tried to deploy his DSMB. The Similans was totaly different we had two...

Hi Karen, hopefully I have sent you a PM. Terry

Got mine last week. Will be posting it from the UK Monday 14th June, followed up with an email to make sure they receive the letter.
