Kona Aggressor II Completes Dry Dock

The 14 passenger catamaran Kona Aggressor II completed an extensive, scheduled dry dock in December 2006. Exterior work included painting, inspections of all steering components, and propeller polishing. Compressor fill lines were replaced, new air/nitrox storage banks were installed, and an additional hyper-filtration chamber was added to provide even cleaner breathing air for divers. Guests will enjoy work completed on the vessel's interior and personal spaces. New carpet was installed throughout the boat, bathrooms received new fixtures, and a new Marine Air Chiller air-conditioning system was installed.

The U.S. Coast Guard conducted an inspection before the boat re-entered the water. "The Coast Guard Lieutenant was thorough and went through the vessel closely. He was extremely impressed with the hull repairs," says Capt. Dan Ruth.

On December 23, 2006, the boat re-entered the water and is looking great for her upcoming scuba diving charters.

Sun Dancer II, Belize
Belize is a wall diver's paradise. Sheer walls like Painted Wall, Half Moon Caye Wall and Quebrada are adorned with huge crimson gorgonians and giant orange elephant ear sponges. Moray eels, spiny lobsters and tiny arrow crabs hide in every crack, crevice, cave and tunnels of these beautiful coral formations. These are just a few things you will see at Lighthouse Reef, Half Moon Caye and Turneffe Reef. And the Sun Dancer II is the perfect boat to get you to some of the best diving in the western Caribbean.

The feeling of being watched overwhelms me, and I turn.

I am experiencing the best of Australia's Great Barrier Reef during a week-long stay aboard the custom-built Spoilsport.

It pays to be the early bird. Awakened by dawn reaching through the porthole, I peek out blearily at Jackson Bight, a bay of plenty on the north side of Little Cayman.
