it also seems that its not just laws but upholding laws that is a problem. the fishermen and distributors have a thug mentality, there are rangers on isla de la plata and fisheries inspectors in puerto lopez---- all of whom are afraid to do their job.

I was just in Bahia de Caraquez for 10 days over New Years and already have two trips scheduled back. I would like to do a couple dives out of Manta (to Isla de la Plata) when I return in July.

I will be a single diver. Not a big fan of insta-buddies but I want to check out the diving so have no choice ...

Can you recommend a good dive operator?

p.s. Your Galapagos footage is beautiful! I was there in 2007 - much the same experience. In fact I think I recognized that one hammerhead.
