Comments We almost cancelled due to the ridiculous Covid requirements of the Turks & Caicos. That being said, all was rescinded before our trip.
The Turk and Caicos Aggressor was built in 1977 and refitted in 2021...but it is STILL a 45 year old vessel. She just "feels" a bit old and tired.
That being said, the crew excelled as all Aggressor crews do! Captain Jon Zietlow runs a really tight ship. Nothing gets by him and he is top of everything! Very impressive man!
Dan Fickett has left but was another amiable and very capable crew member. For a man of his stature, he could really move fast!
Josh Foster warmed up during the week and became a defacto Club Ed member. GREAT engineer!
Carlito was always smiling and ready to assist. An excellent diver and instructor!
Pancho could make wine out of wine bottles! Excellent chef with incredible presentations!
Javier was the FIRST REAL photo pro we have experienced aboard Liveaboard. We were visited by a rare 10' Manta Ray. Javi got dozens of wall-hangable shots! Stellar Nikon-driven photography from this man!
Cyril was night watchman and another amiable member of this crew. I wish we could have stayed to enjoy his cooking!
All together, this crew functioned as ONE!
