Comments	I have wanted to go to the Galapagos islands my entire life and this trip on the Aggressor did not disappoint. The accommodations on the boat were great, the food excellent and the staff was superb. They really went out of their way to make our dive a great one. Incredibly friendly. The really great part was the diving though. I love large pelagics which is why I always wanted to go to the Galapagos. I saw everything I wanted to see and more - lots of hammerhead sharks, galapagos sharks, white tip reef sharks, silkys, whale sharks on several dives, mola mola, sea lions, marine iguanas, dolphins, turtles, all types of puffer fish, red lip batfish, schooling jacks, eagle rays and more. That's all I can think of off the top of my head! One thing though. This is not easy diving. I have about 150 dives or so and this was some of the tougher conditions I have dove. Mainly it's the current. Current is not a problem if you're doing a drift dive, however, down here you generally have to stay in place. Sometimes close to the shore there would be alot of surge and you would have to hang on. As long as you're good with current/surge it's not a problem. I would not recommend going here if you did not have some experience with that and were a reasonably confident diver. I also spent about a week on the land doing day trips from Santa Cruz island. That was also superb, however, I don't have time to write about that. I thought that this would be a once in a lifetime trip and perhaps it will be. As I write this, I can't wait to go back though. It was the best dive trip by a mile and the most active exciting vacation of my life.
