Comments	Overall a very good trip. Some of the crew kept to themselves but others made up for them and were very entertaining. "Pass Flying" is not for the faint of heart but for experienced drift divers it's a blast. Lots and lots of sharks on every dive. Great opportunities to get up front and close for pictures. Turtles were very friendly and would pose for good pictures as well. Boat was nice but no film processing or hot tub as advertised. I have a dispute with the SeaWave Communications. My onboard account stated a charge of $47 but I was billed $117 on my credit card. Beware of onboard internet use. Aggressor could have done a better job of organizing divers in Papeete which has very expensive taxi service. They also did not provide a day room in Papeete as advertised. Aggreessor is still my live-aboard of choice!
