Question Does a Strobe or Video Light make sense in Galapagos during cool season?

[Dom23]

Hey everyone,

I booked a liveaboard in the Galapagos in mid September, during the cold season.

My question is, due to it beeing the cold season and visibility beeing limited compared to the warm season, does it still make sense to bring my strobes / video lights during this time of the year? Or should I just leave them back home for more convenient diving?

My setup consists of a Sony RX100 VA in a Fantasea housing with a Weefine wide angle converter.
I also have 1x Sea&Sea YS-01 Solis and X-Adventurer M8000 Video Light


Thanks!

How was the trip? My wife and I are going in November and are considering the same options. Did you bring a strobe? Would you recommend it and if so.....1 or 2?

Thanks
