The 115-foot yacht will have room for 16 passengers and will be available for tourists planning scuba diving holidays in Thailand from March, 2013 when it will start operating routes northern and southern routes in the Andaman Sea.

The Aggressor Fleet will be adding a new vessel to it live-aboard fleet next year with the new 16-passenger Thailand Aggressor.

The 115-foot steel yacht will provide live-aboard scuba diving holidays for divers from 3rd March, 2013 and will operate northern and southern routes in the Andaman Sea from Phuket in Thailand.

Diving enthusiasts will have a choice of scuba diving holidays to choose from aboard the new vessel, lasting seven nights or 14 nights.

Between May and October, the Thailand Aggressor will take the southern route in the Andaman Sea visiting popular scuba diving destinations such as Shark Point, Anemone Reef and Phi Phi Islands. From November to April, the yacht will alternate between southern and northern routes every week, giving passengers the opportunity to experience scuba diving adventures in both destinations.

Mr Brown stated: “We are very excited to have Ong’s extensive knowledge of diving in Thailand and adding this exciting destination to Aggressor Fleet. Ong is a perfect fit for our company and we look forward to having him aboard.

“Ong is an avid scuba diver and has led groups and travelled on many Aggressor Fleet yachts and is eager to be a part of the fleet.”
