Dive Review of
Aggressor I in
Galapagos Islands

Caribbean, Palau, Arctic Ocean

Dive Conditions

Must dive with a buddy, although some in our group were allowed to dive
solo.  

Large camera table.  Small area for charging batteries.  

Overall Rating

A wonderful trip.  We dove 4 dives at 2 dive sites at Wolf Island.  Dove 7
dives at the same site at Darwin's Arch.  The dive sites are strictly
regulated by the Park Service.  I would have preferred a little more
variety. Nevertheless, Darwin's Arch is a spectacular dive site.  A 5 mil
wet suit was plenty although there were times I was chilly. Due to the
sharp rocks, gloves are a must.We were supposed to dive 2 dives at Cousin's
Rock but didn't.  I was looking forward to seeing the sea horses there.
Strangly though, the Aggressor II did get to dive there.  Our captain had
an excuse but I got the feeling they just did not want to go to that site. 
Otherwise, the crew was great.  Very attentive and helpful. We had a
$100/person fuel surcharge even though gasoline in Equador is only $1.00 a
gallon.  I would recommend this trip to anyone.
On our flight back to Quito, the Aggressor guide said he got us on an
earlier flight but this was not true.  I think he was just using this as an
excuse to get us to the airport early. Finally, the land excursions were
great.  Richard, our divemaster, led them and he was very infomative.
