North Sulawesi Aggressor

[divebuddy68]

Hi All! Recently returned from a trip on the North Sulawesi Aggressor. Flew Singapore Air from NY. Left on a Thursday night, connected in Frankfurt & Singapore. Arrived in Manado on Sat afternoon. Now I know why Sing Air is rated #1. Simply incredible service. On the return, left Manado on Sat afternoon and was back in NY on Sunday Morning.

The boat was moved from Truk last year. Although it is 30 years old, it was in the best shape of the 7 Aggressors I have been on. Very well maintained. Crew of 12 for 10 guests. Tied with the Galapagos Aggressor for best service. Plenty of room in the cabins, dive deck and salon.

We dove Lembeh, Bangka & Bunaken. Lembeh is the reason for going. Bangka & Bunaken were good, but Lembeh is where you find the great stuff. Ghost Pipefish, tons for Frog Fish, Blue Ring Octopus, Spiny Devil Fish, Rhinopias & lots of other cool stuff.

Let me know if I can answer any questions.
