MV Belize Aggressor IV Liveaboard Review

Aggressor Fleet, based in the USA, has worldwide facilities and experience. They have liveaboard offerings in the vast majority of the globe’s best scuba diving locations. All of their vessels – including the MV Belize Aggressor IV (formally Sun Dancer II) – are purpose built and maintained to Aggressor Fleet’s demanding standards, their reputation making them one of the most popular operators with customers around the world. They have been operating in Belize since 2002.

Belize, off the eastern coast of Central America is one of the smallest nations in the region. Belize features more than 400 islands and the longest unbroken reef in the western hemisphere. Probably most famous for the Blue Hole, Belize also features other world class diving destinations such as The Elbow, Long Caye Wall, Silk Cayes Canyon and Stann Creek District where, for some lucky divers, you may spot a Whale Shark in addition to the wealth of other life in Belize’s rich waters.

The MV Belize Aggressor IV is an impressive 138ft/42m long, 26ft/8m in beam and built to the stringent Lloyd’s Registry and American Bureau of Shipping standards. She has a whole raft of safety equipment onboard – everything from emergency oxygen to lift rafts – which is reassuringly safe. She is slightly larger than her sister ship MV Belize Aggressor III and offers an exceptional stability.

A spacious dining and buffet area next to the galley is visited 3 times a day where the chef prepares a combination of delicious local foods made with fresh ingredients combined with more traditional western sustenance. Still hungry? There are snacks available throughout the day to nibble on before and after each dive. Soft drinks, tea and coffee and always available too.

Deluxe Stateroom

Moving to the top deck there are sun loungers for those relaxing surface intervals as you off-gas and reflect on what you’ve seen as the gaze into the blue skies and equally blue waters. The sun deck is also partially covered and you have the option to nap in the shade.
