Comments	This was a special expedition (run twice a year) to assist scientists tag hammerhead and Galapagos sharks underwater using pole spears, and capture green turtles underwater and bringing them on-board for placement of satellite transmitters. (All done under research permits). In addition to diving all the usual fantastic dive sites at Cocos, participants get to concentrate efforts at shark and turtle "hot spots" to maximize data collection. Assistants for future trips are still needed, including the upcoming trip in November 2103. Contact me for more information (TSteiner@TIRN.net, (415) 663-8590 X103). Your expenses may be tax-dedictible.
