If it were me I'd go, but make sure my flight was into La Ceiba or Roatan directly (away from the political angst). If you were flying into Tegugipa (not sure of spelling), I would either reroute or cancel the trip if that wasn't possible.

Thanks, I'm pumped!

Can't wait to see the photos! I'm off to the Galapagos in 6 days, can't wait!

WOW! I love whale sharks and had no idea they could be so small! Great photo!

I think shark education should be taught in the OW course, not because divers are likely to see sharks, but because many divers are concerned about sharks and "what if". Education would calm a lot of fears and teach people to appreciate sharks rather than fearing them. Divers can be some of...

Thanks for organizing this. I've also signed the petition.

Thanks Roatan Man. I'm more concerned with the swells and trying to get into the panga from the boat since my balance is not so good. I've done this before in Cocos and the Red Sea, just not with an injured knee. Appreciate your advice, it should be an interesting trip. Glad you liked the...

Fantastic photos! I'll have to add this trip to my list.

Unforuntately I don't have any shark pics, just gettihg into underwater photography, but one of my favourite shark facts is that Cocos Island, off the coast of Costa Rica has more sharks per sq. cubic foot than anywhere else on the planet (could lead into why protecting this area is so...

I'd also recommend the shark dive. I thought the dolphin dive was so-so. We dived with Coconut Divers for a week and had a good experience with them. Have a great trip!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, that makes me feel better. I can bear weight on it so sounds like I'm in better shape than you were when you went (my surgery is after the trip). A huge relief, thanks so much!

WOW! Sounds like Wolf and Darwin were quite the adventure, I can't wait. Should be able to fin for it, just won't be as fast as the other divers. Good idea, about diving with the brace, I'll check with my doctor. Getting in/out of the pangas will be interesting. Thanks so much, appreciate...

Good to know, thanks for the advice.

Thanks so much for the info and the article (great read). I love diving with sharks, just haven't done so injured so am relieved to know that I can still enjoy it, should be an amazing trip. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm headed to the Galapagos in 2 weeks with a knee injury (limping, but more or less fine in the water with fins). I've heard about the strong currents and swell at Wolf and Darwin and am concerned about my knee. Has anyone dived these with an injury? Of course these dives will be the...

I dove in July and it was great, although the DMs rated it as a so/so trip (the largest school of hammerheads we saw was around 80, compared to the schools in the hundreds that they see sometimes). I think it's such an amazing destination that there really is no "bad" time to go, although there...

Thanks everyone for all the great info! I'm headed to the Galapagos in 2 weeks and can't wait and am even more pumped after reading all these posts!

Well said Valhalla! It's disappointing to see that some DM do not share this vision, when collectively they could have a large impact, given the amount of diving they do. Having said that, kudos to the ones that are concerned and are doing something about it!

Great, thanks for your post. Glad to hear your trip was still good and that you're now almost fully recovered. I was also worried about the gear, jumping from the liveaboard to the panga, but am going with someone that will help me with that. Thanks!

I went to Cocos last year (it was amazing!) but there are just 2 liveaboards (the ones you mentioned). I'm going to the Galapagos on a liveaboard (Agressor) in 2 weeks. I believe that there used to be more liveaboards that went to the Galapagos and now there's just 3 companies, but as far as...
