Also need to know the skill level required by Aggressor from their website as soon as someone can check it and then add to the trip details. We left it blank and I have been asked the question.

 

WILL POST IN THE TRIP TC TOPIC AS WELL...so double check to ensure this is not done twice. Tks,

Answer from the TC Topic for Misc. Action Items earlier this AM:

 

2.  There is an issue with the pics not showing up in the first details post for Hawaii that needs to be fixed as well as its missing the skill level. Since Pam would normally do this (or Sandy if she were onboard) I am hoping Brad can assist since Pam is in Indo right now.  (NOTE that I did post this request in the trip buildout so pls be sure not to double do the task...so post if you have the project and/or when you've finished it so the other does not try to do it.)

I opened Hawaii Topic #1 Trip Details and all photos appear as they should. Probably your browser garbled part of the link address then held that address in memory for the duration of that online session. (BTW In the Buildout Forum related HI Details topic you pasted a link, but that link was to the PG.)
Here is the address of HI Topic #1 Trip Details I just checked with photos appearing properly:

Here is what I gleaned from the Kona Aggressor Page - I sifted through every tab on the page. NOTE: I could find NO restrictions RE: depth requiring AOW, Nitrox, etc. I reviewed their list of over 20 dive sites to be visited during the trip and all appear to be multi level or <60fsw bays/reefs. This supports (while not expressly stated) OW and air divers permitted aboard. Review / edit if desired in a reply post and let me know if and when the quoted info below is ready and I will append to Trip Details HI Trip Topic #1.

 

=======================================================================================

DIVING CONDITIONS
You will be diving in water that averages 72-80°F with thermoclines. Most guests make as many as 5 dives each day, so some sort of pro tection is needed. A 3-5 mm wetsuit and hood is recommended year round. All diving is from the mother ship.
DIVING SUPERVISION
You’ve chosen a liveaboard vacation for the diving freedom that it offers. While in the water, you and your buddy are in charge. Every dive starts with a dive briefing from the yacht staff. However, as a certified diver, you and your buddy are responsible for planning and conducting your own dives within the limitations set forth by the briefing. The staff will be on the dive deck providing surface support for divers. The yacht will also have staff in the water offering support, u/w photography and videography, and critter spotting services as well. On some dive sites a staff member will offer to lead a group and assist them in locating specific points of interest. However , they do not offer direct supervision of dives. If you start out with a group, as long as you and your buddy remain in contact with each other and are ok – you may follow your own dive plan. Divers who desire more personal attention and structured/supervised dives should consider taking one of the yachts numerous specialty courses. An underlying skill featured in all of specialty training is planning, executing, and debriefing after your dive in order to build a more confident diver. Dive computers are mandatory for each guest.

Thanks Butch! Pam's idea to expand the Trip Buildout Checklist for each trip has really helped to get us organized and enable helpers to do things on their own timelines.
