Comments	The Bahamas Aggressor (the former Carib Dancer) was in good shape. I had cabin two. It had a small window and an even smaller head. Often when I stood to turn around in the head, my elbow would bump into the shower control and I would be sprayed with water. That was the only negative. The food was plentiful and hearty and the crew was one of the best I have experienced on a live-aboard. The diving with sharks was spectacular, with very good experiences with tiger sharks, lemon sharks and reef sharks. There were a handful of nurse sharks during the week. When the tiger sharks weren't around, I spent time diving on the nearby reefs. The reefs were mostly covered with sponges, gorgonians and algae. My estimate was about 10 percent hard coral coverage, but all the hard coral I saw was very healthy. Reef fish life was about what one can expect now, post the lionfish invasion.

Where else diving	Caribbean, wider Pacific
Closest Airport	Freeport, Bahamas	Getting There	My itinerary included a flight from Houston to Ft. Lauderdale, then from Ft. Lauderdale to Freeport, Bahamas. The flight to Freeport was on Silver Airways. Silver canceled my Friday evening flight, then gave me a hotel voucher for two people to share a room (I was traveling alone). In any event, the hotel refused to honor the voucher. The Saturday flight on Silver Airways departed late, but otherwise was fine. The flight back from Freeport to Ft. Lauderdale was also fine.
