Comments	The Kona Aggressor crew is extremely well-organized, efficient, friendly and accommodating. Among the best crews we have experienced in our 31 liveaboard trips. The chef had attended a culinary institute and the meals were outstanding--we've eaten at upscale restaurants that couldn't compare! The boat holds 14 divers and all diving is from boat rather than from skiffs. The dive deck is a bit tight, but two good fresh water showers and plenty of deck towels. We were somewhat disappointed with the diving; the visibility was excellent but the region seemed rather "fished out" and not much big stuff. Some interesting caves and lava tubes. One night dive to see mantas was very good but crowded because other local dive boats and their divers are at the same spot at the same time. The cabins are pretty small but the heads and showers worked well, the bed was comfortable and fresh towels daily. And there's a hot tub on the sun deck! It was a lot of fun, thanks to the outstanding crew consisting of Captain Jonatha, Jeff, Brenden, Auvie, Pam and Chef Robert.
