Live-aboards for December

I am looking to take a trip to the Caribbean in mid December and
I was wondering if anyone could provide opinions on where to go.
I am a single diver; some of the live-aboards I have read about
appear to be designed for diving couples (or pairs). I have looked
at Peter Hughes and the Aggressor fleet in places like Belize, Turks
and Caicos and the Bay Islands. I am leaning towards Turks but would
be appreciative of any opinions, suggestions and guidance that could
be thrown my way.

I would recommend Turks and Caicos, I have done this particular itinerary
twice. Here is a link....

Don't worry about being a single diver, you will encounter lots of them, you
will be paired up with another diver, or you will have a room to yourself if
they happen to have the extra space. It really is not a problem.

Excellent wall diving, lots of fish, healthy coral. Great food. Aggressor
also has a ship there, same itinerary, in fact, the two boats work together.

I have dove with the Aggressors, Nektons, Dancers, and Explorers in
the Caribbean. They are all good. I like the Dancers the best.

I have been to all three of those locations and they all have good
diving. If I were to choose one of those three for my next
liveaboard, it would not be the Bay Islands. You can flip a coin
between the two others.

If you open it up to the whole Caribbean/Eastern Atlantic, I would
probably do another Cayman Aggressor trip. I wouldn't do the Peter
Hughes Grenada trip because I found Grenda diving to be ok, not great
but ok. Tobago sounds intriguing but it is a bit of a hike from
Toronto.

I have no opinion of Blackbeards or the Aqua Cat, because I have not
been on those boats.

But then again, you might not have a choice. These boats might be
booked already.

You meant Western Atlantic, I hope. Otherwise, you're REALLY opening
it up

Getting a trip on those dates this late in the year is thin.

One of those stern Atlantics. The part between Cuba and Bermuda.
