Hi All -

Looks like there are some some serious discounts for both Socorro (30% off) and Galapagos (50% off)

I am looking to do a trip either late November / early December. I am thinking Socorro because i just got back from Cocos and got to see the massive schools of hammerheads, but the major discount for the Galapagos is very very intriguing.

Anyone been to both that can opine? The Galapagos trip would likely have some serious diversity, although i believe December is past whale shark season?

Other consideration is that i do not have much experience in relative cold water (maybe like 6 dives in sub 70 degree water). I do have 150 dives or so though, some serious current too.
 
I just got a notice for the Galapagos Master offering 50% off on trips through the end of 2020. I have not looked at trip availability but if you are interested, I'd offer another 10% discount. One thing nice about the Galapagos...most folks do a Chichen Itza trip either before or after. A disadvantage to the Socorros, Mexico has just imposed a daily fee of about $75 USD that adds $450 to a 6 day trip.
 
Further to my first message.. I will discount the rates below.

Hands down, Galapagos.

Socorro is nice but Galapagos is fantastic. For what it's worth, my recommendation comes from a total of 24 diving days in Galapagos and 36 diving days in Socorro area (multiple trips obviously). My 2psi.

Wow. The prices are absolutely amazing. Are these with 10% additional discount? Can you please the booking site?
Thanks
