GALAPAGOS - new boats from $3495 make it now more affordable

[Dom@DiveAdvice]

Thanks for the education - I have not had personal experience of them although I have clients who have requested them from time to time. I'll be happy to check with the other boats in GPS and see who might be willing to work with them, though my thoughts would be that as most dives at Darwin are a backflip negative entry off a RIB - sometimes in a strong current - with 9 divers at the same time, that dealing with 2 tanks, one on either side, might lead to potential issues of space. I'm not saying that one might not adapt but that is the way they operate the dives and so that is my only caution. Will let you know.

Hi @Ministryofgiraffes

Many liveaboards have one tank and one tank station assigned per diver. The tanks are filled by whip between dives. This may be one obstacle with dealing with dual tank sidemount. There may be others
