Gavin S. Google review of Planet Travel Holidays
★★★★★

The Grand Caymen trip from 1st Feb 26 was a great success. The weather was pretty poor, with some high winds and rough seas around the islands. It was definitely warmer in the water.
The Captain kept the boat out of the marina, so some judicious use of water taxi's to get to and from the boat -…

they did much better than most in the Caribbean, and a lot better than the other dive boats from the island that didn't make it out, or at least lost a few days. That also meant most of the dive sites were free of other divers - a great benefit! We couldn't follow the intended itinerary, and there was a lot of local knowledge employed to get to and between divable sites, there were a few we arrived at and the team decided to abandon - practical examples that diver safety was never compromised. It all worked really well as it meant that a full week of diving was available. The goal was 5 dives a day, and we only lost 1 night dive to the weather - but considering that only 2 divers managed to get the iron diver medals on this trip then there was more than enough (the medals went to two ladies over retirement age that put everyone else to shame).
Boat and diver crew were great, all very knowledgeable and personable. Food was good. Cabins were well kept and comfortable. I will definitely dive with aggressor again.
