This large and modern yacht is 148 ft (45m) long. It has a steel hull and is built and for comfort and safety, with all the services to which divers have become accustomed from Aggressor cruises. 22 guests are accommodated in 11 ensuite staterooms with TVs across the 3 decks, and are attended to by the 13 crew members.
The spacious air-conditioned saloon features a dining area and a comfy lounge area to watch TV or chat with fellow passengers. The upper deck has a large social area with lounge-style seating, deck chairs, chaise lounges, and a shaded hot tub. Diving amenities include freshwater rinse showers, camera table, rinse tanks and nitrox. Up to 4 dives per day are done from the two 22 ft (7m) long motorised tenders.
There is a highly varied weekly menu, featuring Western style breakfast, and Arabic and international lunches and dinners. These include salads, soups, main courses of fish, seafood, beef or chicken, fresh breads, vegetables, and a selection of desserts. Dinners are served each evening with complimentary local beer and wine. As with all Aggressor safaris, the final night is spent in the port and dinner is taken at a recommended restaurant. So if you are looking for a fascinating and new diving destination on a high quality liveaboard yacht, look no further than the Oman Aggressor.
Dive experience: When our guests compete their Cruise Application they affirm to Aggressor that they are fit to dive in Oman. That “fit to dive” implies physical fitness, dive skills, and dive experience. Oman Aggressor expect divers to accept personal responsibility for their fitness to dive.
