Comments	Covid restrictions in May 2021 were high, but very do-able for arrivals into the country. T&C Arrival requirements were well documented and negative tests required to enter and leave the country. Registration with the government was also required BEFORE arrival. The Aggressor provided an on-board covid test for all divers to depart ($75). I think all divers on my charter were vaccinated at that time. Once on the boat and away from the mainland things were mostly 'normal'. Overall the boat was very well cleaned for the charter. Most of the crew were new as of my sail date, but they were all great and provided exceptional services throughout the charter. The only dive related covid restriction/new procedures that were in place was the boat staff analyzed all nitrox tanks before each dive and documented the resulting mixes for each diver. The weather was a bit windy during the week, and this limited the amount of dives we could do on the southern tier reefs, but we did dive them. Lots of sharks throughout the week, and the nurse sharks on the night dives on French Cay were fantastic. All dives are wall dives, and the walls and top of reef are very nice. By the time you get to the 25th+ dive during the week it feels somewhat repetitive, however. The night dives and the dives at "The Dome" (old tv show location) offered some variety. Crew was amazing in every way and presented the best Aggressor has to offer in terms of service, in and out of the water. Lots of macro and large photography options including sea horses, nudis, blennies, octopus, pelagics and more. Landside, I stayed at the Port of Call Resort on arrival and extra day before departure. It is a land locked location (think open-air Hampton Inn sort of style) but walk to the beach is 5 mins. They have a nice pool area with small bar and outdoor dining from for breakfasts and bar snacks. There are lots of restaurants and a large grocery store within few minutes walk of the hotel. Aggressor arranged taxi to hotel on day of departure. I paid my own way from Airport to hotel and hotel to yacht on arrival day. If you are a liveaboard fan, this is certainly worth it!
