Comments	Very pleasant trip. There were enough of us so that we had a half boat charter plus 4 other guests, so it was a good value. The Thailand Aggressor seemed to be one of the older aggressors that I have been on. It was comfortable and clean. What was outstanding is what the crew could do with it. Especially the chef and that little kitchen. The diving was good. Mostly skiff diving. The crew did a very good job of handling us and our gear. But, there are other pacific rim areas I would revisit first (assuming comparable expense). One of the major headaches was the number of other dive boats/divers constantly around us. It was rare to have the area to ourselves for a couple of afternoon dives and a peaceful evening. At one site we had a boat come over us and literally drop another 20-30 divers on our heads. There were at least a 100 divers within sight in the water. We did get a special visit by a manta later after the others had left. It spent close to 10 minutes slowly circling us and the coral head (cleaning station) before we had to go. Very nice for the last dive of the trip.

UW Photo Comments	Most guests had smaller 'gopro' style cameras with 3 larger rigs. Plenty of room on the dedicated camera table and spacious charging station. Crew treated our equipment with a great care transferring it to/from the skiffs and to us in the water.
