highlights of our trip aboard the humboldt explorer and isla de plata ecuador. we loved the explorer
 
Lwang,

I just got back from a week on the Humboldt Explorer and we didn't see much at Darwin... Wolf was definitely better and my group was lucky enough to see a juvenile whale shark at Shark Bay! However, we didn't see the large numbers of Hammerheads that we were expecting... mostly shadows... Peter, our DM, told us that the group before us saw even less... apparently the visibility was worse than our week. Although I am satisfied overall, largely because we saw a whale shark, I feel I only got a glimpse of true Galapagos diving... I plan to return in Sept/Oct time-frame to do it right...

cheers, JK


Nobody is saying it should be going to an aquarium where the fish is guranteed to be there. But reading the Agressor's dive logs, their description of the dives in Wolf/Darwin seems to be the thinnest. Maybe the days of the hammerheads so dense that you can't see thru to the open waters are behind us.

We had better visibility in Darwin, but less big animals. So it is definitely not visibility related.
