I just got back. Jun 11-21. We had temps in the high 70s for all the islands. I had my 7 ml and a hood, 3ml gloves with kevlar. I was wishing I'd brought my 3ml and tropical gloves for some of the easier dives because even though I wasn't too warm it's just so much simpler.
I would not try the dry suit. Galapegos is not the place to try something new. I was even having issues with my new 7ml, just because it was new to me and I have over 150 dives, am a rescue diver and have dived in all sorts of situations. I actually dove my first 5-6 dives without a camera until I was comfortable I had my bouyancy, weights and brain worked out.
Have the trip of a lifetime and leave the dry suit at home. There is no helicopter to come get you on Darwin when you have an uncontrolled ascent and give yourself the bends!!!!
