Comments	I wish I had known that this was a charter devoted almost exclusively to muck diving. This fact was not divulged at all and it was a disppointment to see that the ship, with the exception of two sites, never ventured outside the Lembeh Strait, where all the shore-based operators took the divers. As with most muck diving, the visibility was poor and the area nothing short of a garbage dump filled with small critters. If muck diving is your thing, this is the charter. If, to the contrary, you are expecting to be taken to reefs and areas not visited by the shore-based operators, my advice is to stay well clear of the North Sulawesi Aggressor. Just book a hotel in the area and you will do just as well.
