How long have you been traveling with Aggressor?
I began my first Aggressor trip in October 2024.
What brought you back to Aggressor Adventures so many times this year?
The people. The Aggressor captains and crew have ALL beenabsolutelyoutstanding. The emphasis is on safety and personal service. I believeAggressor Adventures is unique in the dive industryin the professionalism which is provided. I do not believe any other company comes close. Further, every person I have dealt with at Aggressor Adventures has strived to provide an exceptional experience, whether under the water, on the boat or during the shore adventures.
What was your favorite adventure you took with us this year?
Every adventure has been great. However, the Galapagostrip was amazing. To see the wildlife in its natural habitat was an unbelievable experience.To provide the degree of service and the unique, safe experience in such a harsh, remote location was perhaps one of the best adventures of my life. I plan on taking this trip again my first opportunity, when my schedule allows.
How did you decide where to go next?
My next scheduled trip is a return to Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. To see and experience the sharks at Tiger Beachcannot be described adequately with words. I loved my prior trip last May, and I anticipate attempting to take this trip, health and time permitting, on an annual basis.
How do you like solo traveling with the Aggressor Adventures?
I have met such amazing fellow passengers on Aggressor Adventuresthat many have become permanent friends. Not only do I stay in touch with dozens of fellow passengers on social media, but I have actually taken subsequent trips with several. The crews have been incredible in accommodating me as a solo traveler, and they make it feel like a big, happy family for the week that I am with them.
Do you shoot underwater photography? If so, what are some of your favorite things to photograph?
Yes. I LOVE SHARKS. I cannot get enough of sharks. Seeing whale sharks in the Galapagoswas truly awe-inspiring. I have had the opportunity to shoot so many amazing underwater creatures from multiple varieties of turtles, various species of ray, and so many types of reef fish that I cannot count them all. If one wants to experience underwater wildlife, taking a trip on Aggressor Adventures is the only way to go.
