Turks & Caicos Aggressor II is a 120 foot yacht accommodating 18 guests. She transports divers to the lovely wall-diving along the coasts of Providenciales, West Caicos and French Caye.

 

A word from Dom …. “The T&C Aggressor spends most of the year diving Turks & Caicos but takes a break, from January to April, to offer spellbinding trips to the Silver Bank, Dominican Republic, swimming with humpback whales.  Beamy & stable, she provides a good platform for either option.”   …  Dominick Macan

ITINERARIES

Turks & Caicos: The Turks & Caicos Islands consist of 40 islands and cays, eight of which are inhabited.  Aggressor will take you to the best of the diving there.  Between January & April, the vessel “switches gears” to carry guests to the Silver Bank in the Dominican Republic to swim with humpback whales.

{slider Itinerary maps & diving overview ….. open|dest|closed} 

Turks & Caicos: You’ll experience 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, crimson rope sponges and abundant macro life.  Watch for black corals, pillar corals, great swim throughs, friendly turtles and schools of fish.

Dominican Republic:  Between January & April Turks & Caicos Aggressor visits the Silver Bank in Dominican Republic for swimming with whales.  You’ll see them spin and play, hear their haunting songs resonating through the water and sense the power and grace of some of the most intelligent mammals on earth. All snorkelling activity is from the chase boats. Most guests make 2 whale runs each day which last 1 1/2 – 3 hours each depending on the proximity of whale activity and time of day.
