Sitting in Quito, just in from the Galapagos. 10-12 whale sharks over 7 dives, but the first dive at darwin was the best, with 5 or of those sightings. Two close swim bys, including one at 19 feet during a safety stop. also a mama and babe swimming around. no albine unfortunately.
hammer action was good. not quite as good as last time, but still a great trip. mantas, eagle rays, cownose rays, slkies, galapagos sharks, sea lions, the works
good to go now, there's big changes in the works, starting now. accdg to our boat, they are only allownig one boat per day at wolf or darwin, staggered. not sure how this is going to work, but maybe it'll keep an eye on the fishermen. As of 2008, as we've heard, no land tours. but also a rumor that all diving will have to be completed by noon in the central islands. not sure how accurate that is
Off to the amazon region for a few days.
