Comments	Honestly, there wasn't really any bad. A lot of good: -The dive crew was outstanding. They did a good job guiding the dives, taking care of any issues on deck and were genuinely nice. Clive, Patrick, Bang and Ashley, thanks very much. -The boat crew were nice also, very funny. Considering the language barrier, we had a great time chatting. And the food was fantastic! Plus the kitchen would serve me a Thai breakfast while everyone else was eating western. What a great bunch! -The boat was very nice, though in need of some minor maintenance. Everything worked and no complaints but as this was my first Aggressor trip I was expecting almost brand new, so this was a misconception problem on my end. The boat was fine, simply not all shiny and new looking. -Diving was done from zodiacs, not the liveaboard itself. No problems, easy to get in and out of. -Diving in the Andamans and Similans means usually a bit deeper than Caribbean diving. Typical depth was 45-70 feet and some current is very typical with occasional big currents. -Being a big guy (6-5, 270 lbs) it was nice they had a 104 cu. ft. tank. That let me have 60-70 minute dives without worry. -EPIRBS were available for rent -Saw several giant mantas -Richelieu Rock is absolutely fantastic. It's very hard to describe, simply one of the best dive sites there anywhere. Huge numbers of fish, eels and most anything else you'd want to see.

UW Photo Comments	-Camera only table -Compressed air -Dedicated towels -Dedicated battery charging station -Camera only rinse barrel I'm a simple photographer, not one of the big rig type of people. For me the camera setup was great. There was one person with a nicer camera rig that seemed to be happy with the setup, no complaints.
