Vice President of Aggressor Adventures, Anne Hasson, has announced her retirement after a 41-year career with one of the world’s largest scuba diving liveaboard operators.
Hasson’s career at Aggressor Adventures has spanned from photo pro and crew member aboard the original Cayman Aggressor scuba liveaboard to Vice President and Director of Marketing for what has since grown into a worldwide adventure travel company.
Hasson’s love of scuba diving and service in the travel industry began on 9 November 1984, when she joined her husband, Captain Wayne Hasson, on the first Aggressor charter exploring the Cayman Islands underwater realm.
She remained with the company for more than forty years, fostering its growth from a single scuba diving vessel to a worldwide adventure company that now offers wildlife photo safaris, bird-watching expeditions, river cruises, and cultural and environmental tours alongside its global liveaboard operations.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Hasson has been a trailblazer in the dive travel industry and in preserving natural wonders for future generations to experience. She is a 2010 Women Divers Hall of Fame inductee, board member for the Sea of Change Foundation and an SSI Platinum Pro5000 Diver.
This September, she will be inducted into the prestigious International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame in the Cayman Islands, back to where it all began.
‘It has been a pleasure to work with Anne Hasson over the last 18 years,’ said Wayne Brown, Owner & CEO of Aggressor Adventures. ‘Her dedication and work ethic are the best I have ever seen in all my years in business, and I thank her for all that she has contributed to this company as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement of travel and leisure.’
As Vice President of Aggressor Adventures, Hasson managed the Reservations, Marketing and Advertising Departments, maintaining the integrity and image of the forty-one-year-old company’s brand and corporate identity.
Hasson will step down in April 2025 to take time to share her passion for underwater exploration and travel with family and friends.
