Comments We flew American Airlines from Phoenix to Guayaquil, spent the night then boarded an early 3 hour flight to Baltra. Transportation was waiting for us after exiting customs for a ride to the boat at Itabaca Channel.
After the safety briefing, all in the water for a short check-out dive to get proper gear set-up, weights, etc.

There was always an active night watch present; charging stations were all on the dive deck and particular attention paid to boarding of offboarding divers on the 20 ft dive tenders (zodiacs)
