Bahamas - Tiger Beach

Should you be looking for something on the more extreme side in the Caribbean, Tiger Beach in the Bahamas may be right for you.

Tiger Beach is amongst the world’s top venues for Tiger Shark encounters, and you may even run into renowned shark expert, Wolfgang Leander, who free dives with them.

Bahamas - Exuma Cays & Sea Park

There are plenty of choices for both novice and experienced divers.

Belize

The Belize Aggressor III departs from Belize City to carry you to Turneffe and Lighthouse Reefs.  You'll dive sheer walls, such as Painted Wall, Half Moon Caye Wall and Quebrada which are covered with huge crimson gorgonians and wandering, lilac rope sponges.

The beautiful corals are augmented by sightings of dolphins on the wall at Half Moon Cay. And Caribbean Reef sharks are common visitors at Silver Caves.  Plus you'll see plenty of  octopus, squid and colorful reef fish.

Weather permitting, divers explore the mystical Blue Hole, a collapsed freshwater cave system. 

With all dives from the mother ship, diving is unlimited. Diving begins Sunday morning and ends Friday before lunch when the Aggressor returns to port. Check-out is Saturday morning.  

A trip to this Central American paradise isn’t complete without a visit to Belize’s Mayan ruins or a cave tubing ride through the jungle. The trip will give you an opportunity for a land tour on Friday afternoon, but an extended stay is recommended to fully enjoy the wonders of Belize.  

Cayman Islands  

Our liveaboard of preference for this Caribbean destination is the lovely Cayman Aggressor IV.

Excellent visibility and calm, crystal clear warm water has made the Cayman Islands a scuba diving favorite for decades. Every week, Cayman Aggressor IV divers explore the walls and ship wrecks of Grand Cayman, and weather permitting, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac.  

Cayman vacations begin at the George Town Dock Saturday afternoon. The dive deck is open Sunday morning through noon Friday. After the Friday afternoon cocktail party, guests may dine at a local restaurant. Check-out diving is Saturday morning.

Eagle Ray Rock for the afternoon session is a great way to introduce the deeper side of what the Cayman Islands have to offer.  

Coral towers slope downward with the sand into the abyss with plenty of swim throughs and channels harboring big grouper under ledges being cleaned by gobies and shrimp.

Other locations will bring you jacks, turtles, tarpons, Queen & French Angelfish, plus stingrays, morays and the mysterious catacombs and pinnacles of Pedro’s Castle. 

Cozumel, Mexico   

The boat visits the best spots of the Caribbean, far from the local dive sites along the coast: Cozumel, Alacranes, Holbox, Chinchorro, Puerto Morelos and Xcalat.  
 

The trips may include any of the following: great drift diving, channels, tunnels, ravines and caves; amazing diversity of species including black corals, big sponges, enormous bull sharks, lobsters, turtles, groupers & snappers, barracudas, rays, jacks and a variety of sharks, including bull sharks.

Your cruise may include a visit to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, near Tulum or a land visit to Mayan ruins, if you choose.

Dominican Republic / Turks & Caicos 

The luxurious Turks and Caicos Aggressor II offers her guests two exciting and highly disparate aquatic adventures - the Silver Banks itinerary and West Caicos/ French Caye.

January through March, snorkelers have the rare opportunity to swim with majestic humpback whales, which range in length from 40 to 50 feet, and weigh in at 35-40 tons. These whales are found in all the world's major oceans, and most populations are highly migratory. In fact, theirs is one of the longest known annual animal migrations. They travel thousands of miles to warm subtropical and tropical waters to calve and mate - and you'll have the opportunity to observe their rituals.

Whale charters depart from Puerto Plata Dominican Republic and visit the whale population in the Silver Bank of the Dominican Republic. 

The Turks and Caicos Aggressor II also offers guests a week of thrilling wall diving along the coasts of Providenciales, West Caicos and French Caye.

The sheer walls of Providenciales begin at 40 feet, plunging into the deep blue abyss and include crevasses and ledges that are decorated with huge orange Elephant Ear sponges, Gorgonians and Crimson Rope Sponges. The itinerary April through December departs from Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands.

In addition to the magnificent corals, you'll see Caribbean Reef and Nurse Sharks, barracudas, Eagle Rays, lobsters, crabs, turtles, eels and an abundance of colorful Caribbean reef fish. 

Utila, Honduras   

The Utila Aggressor II offers seven-day cruises departing from Utila, Honduras.
 
Divers aboard the 18-passenger Utila Aggressor II will explore the sheer walls and wrecks surrounding Utila as well as offshore sea mounts. These pristine sea mounts, or banks, are a Caribbean frontier that has yet to be explored fully by divers.

Utila is world-famous for whale sharks and divers may have the opportunity to swim with them during certain periods of the year.

But these cruises offer much more: slender file fish, juvenile file fish, spotted morays, toadfish, soft corals, scorpion fish, burr fish, turtles, spotted moray, lion fish, octopus, and lots more.
