Starting December 3, 2005, Aggressor Fleet, the world's largest fleet of franchised live-aboards, will begin operations in Indonesia. The 18-passenger yacht North Sulawesi Aggressor will offer Saturday-to-Saturday scuba charters departing from Kungkungan Bay Resort in Bitung City. Seasoned Aggressor Fleet Captain Niall Lawlor will guide guests to dive sites near Bangka Islands, and the Lembeh Strait. The Lembeh Strait is the site of North Sulawesi's famous "muck dives." Photographers have deemed this region as one of the hottest dive spots in the world due its concentration of unique marine creatures.

Company officials are very excited about the diving opportunities such as a unique location presents. North Sulawesi is a safe, predominately Christian region of the large Sulawesi province. Visitors to North Sulawesi may take advantage of convenient direct flights from Singapore to Mando, where they are transferred to the Aggressor yacht on an air-conditioned bus. This is the 21-year-old live-aboard company's first business endeavor in Indonesia.

Aggressor Fleet has dive yachts in Belize, Cayman, Costa Rica, Fiji, Galapagos, Hawaii, North Sulawesi, Palau, Tahiti, Truk Lagoon, Turks & Caicos and Utila. For reservations call (800) 348-2628 or visit our web site, www.aggressor.com.
