Comments My hope was to see large marine life up close. Hammerheads, white tip, black tip, Galapagos, Tigers, Silkies, Marble rays, Eagle rays, plus more, were in abundance. Every dive passing close, in front & overhead. Close enough to see the teeth & tongue. Moray and Spotted eels swimming outside their nooks, Marble rays, white tip sharks active everywhere.

2 Pangas, 4-6 divers, plus 2 Dive Masters, on each boat. Often choppy at surface, so roll out of boat straight down, meet at 18-20 meters. Big blue Safety stops on ascent.

The boat was very nice, cabin comfortable, food excellent and in abundance. Soda, cappuccino, tea and ice water always available. Movie library on big screen TV. Also photographers used TV screen to show their pictures/ movies. Crew could be seen vigilant checking smoke detectors and outlets.

The current, the swells and water temp best for viewing sharks is also what makes a rough boat ride. Not for beginners. Wear Scopalamine patches if susceptible to sea sickness. Dramamine provided by boat.
