Kona Aggressor
Kona Aggressor (Aggressor Fleet)
Kona Aggressor is a very comfortable liveaboard that carries 14 passengers in six staterooms with private head and shower and air conditioning with individual climate controls. Five Deluxe Staterooms have one large lower bed and an upper single bed, while the Quad Stateroom has four single beds. Five crew provide superb service throughout the cruise and make sure your diving holiday runs smoothly. Between dives guests can relax on the sundeck (either in or out of the shade) or try the amazing hot tub! The salon has an excellent collection of books, videos and music to enjoy.
The dive deck covers the aft third of the main deck. Large gear lockers double as seats and line the rails and centre. Two tanks are mounted at the back of each locker, so it is easy to don your equipment at your seat or ask for the tank to be taken to the dive platform. Dive information is displayed on a large board which shows depth and marine life information. A large three-tiered camera table has plenty of space for camera assembly or preparation and separate rinse tanks are kept for cameras and videos. The photography department provides rental cameras and accessories as well as the services of the photo pro if you require a model or expert advice. A range of PADI and NAUI speciality courses are offered on Kona Aggressor including Nitrox training and facilities. A full range of diving equipment is available for rental by pre-arrangement. The Kona Aggressor has been designed to be a barrier-free vessel, catering for the handicapped diver. A special lift between decks allows complete accessibility between decks.
For after the dive there is a freshwater shower and clean towels awaiting, as well as the chef’s freshly prepared snacks to appease the after-dive hunger pangs! Delicious barbecues, American-style and local dishes are served; breads, biscuits and baked snacks come strait from the oven. Most meals are served buffet-style.
Kona Aggressor is equipped with an adventure cage specially designed to allow divers to experience the thrill of blue water drift diving from the safety of the all-aluminium cage.
Kona Aggressor operates from Kailua Bay Pier, next to the King Kamehameha Hotel on Big Island for 7 nights cruises, departing every Saturday throughout the year.
