Turks & Caicos Aggressor II

The Turks & Caicos Aggressor II is a 119ft (36m) mono-hulled Caribbean liveaboard that runs 7 night diving trips, Saturday to Saturday out of Providencia. Cruising at 10 knots, you will be transported quickly around the best dive sites of Providencia, West Caicos and French Cay, the western islands of Turks and Caicos. All dives will be made from the mothership (not from a tender).

Most guests hang out in the large air-conditioned saloon/dining area. Here you can enjoy the entertainment facilities: TV, DVD and music player. There is a satellite email service available. There is also a complete photo center with photo editing computer and digital video. Or for chilling out in the fresh tropical breezes after dives, you can enjoy the sun deck, in the sun or in the shade, with loungers and hot tub.

Some guests choose to dine in the liveaboard's shaded outdoor area with the ever-changing Caribbean views. Dining gets underway with a breakfast of hot dishes, juices, cereal and fruits. There then follows a lunch buffet and an evening meal with waiter service which often consists of salads, seafood, vegetable and chicken and chef-made desserts. Alcoholic and soft drinks are complimentary during trips. On the final evening you can enjoy a crew-hosted cocktail party followed by dinner in a restaurant on land.

So for a week of scuba diving among Caribbean splendor from a comfortable liveaboard boat where you are pampered with personal service, a trip to the Turks & Caicos Islands with the Aggressor fleet could be just the ticket.

Day 1
You will be met by a crew member of the Turks & Caicos Aggressor II at the Providenciales (PLS) International Airport and transferred to the yacht. This fantastic liveaboard awaits your arrival at the Turtle Cove Marina dock. It can be boarded between 15:00-18:00 hrs. You will receive a warm welcome and info from the crew. Dinner is served while the yacht gets ready to depart for its night anchorage. Dinners are chef prepared and served each evening and include salads, vegetables, seafood, beef or chicken, with a freshly made dessert.

Days 2-10
The Turks & Caicos Aggressor II departs from Providenciales, or better known as 'Provo'. Throughout the week you will visit and dive Providenciales, West Caicos and French Cay. The sheer walls of Providenciales begin at 10m, 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.
One of the most diverse dive sites along West Caicos is the Driveway. All along its wall you will find black coral and purple tube sponges, with yellow-headed jawfish, golden-tailed morays, groupers and black durgons. The ledge area features some excellent growth of plate and star corals.
The G Spot in French Cay is named after the gorgonian soft corals which abound in the area. Turtles are often found here, and the reef is also visited by eagle rays. Barrel sponges, fans and other hard and soft corals cover the wall. Sting rays, yellow snappers, blue chromis, queen triggers, goatfish, cowfish, butterflyfish and rock beauties, schools of bigeye trevallies and barracuda: a dive site that offers some of the best in the Caribbean.
All the dives, up to 4 a day, are done from the yacht. Dive sites are usually shallow: unlimited unguided diving is also an offered option. The islands have one of the longest coral reefs in the world, making it a premier diving destination.
The menu aboard is varied and plentiful, with a variety of international feasts, barbecues and local cuisine. You will wake up to fresh fruit, hot entrees, cereals and juices. Lunches are buffet-style, featuring hot soups, homemade bread, salads and sandwiches and/or entrees. There will also be plenty of snacks throughout the day.
Throughout the week there will be opportunities to go ashore for swimming, snorkeling and beach combing.
The yacht then returns to the Turtle Cove Marina late Friday afternoon: the crew hosts a sunset cocktail party at 18:00 hrs. Dinner is not served onboard; however, the crew will recommend a restaurant in the marina.

Customer reviews:

"Flowers and his staff made my first live aboard adventure wonderful. At age 85 my strength isn't what it used to be but they were able to minimize that weakness and I was still able to get in 16 dives in 5 days, including a night dive, which I thought I would hate. It was great thanks to Ali, Rusty and the team.
Everyone on the staff was attentive to my smallest needs, and the food was superb. I had hoped not to eat that much, but every meal was better than the last. I can find no room for improvement. The biggest inconvenience was getting into bed and hitting my head on the wood above." - Dr Chuck Vogel, USA, 21 October 2024 ...

"Very good and helpful service team on board. Very good cuisine, both quality and arangement. The best of all my Aggressor trips." - Janusz Jablonski , Poland, 7 October 2022 ...

"Excellent and very warm crew, The best chef in my 18 liveaboard trips. the only minor negative was not really hot water in a shower. They said that it is by design and more hot shower was available at the dive deck." - Joseph M Backer, United States, 7 March 2022 ...
