Comments	If you are diving with Aggressor, you will make the flight arrangements from Ecuador through them. I spent a few nights in Guayaquil, but in hindsight should have stayed in Quito (more scenic). Travel to Baltra was smooth because I followed the instructions . . . beware of pitfalls if you do not. Usual Aggressor hospitality on board: crew was efficient and very helpful; accommodations comfortable. Salon comfortable, but dining seating a bit complicated since some meals were served from a buffet. Meals were good, but far from the best I have had on Aggressor boats. Plenty to eat. Dive deck was crowded; cylinders took up most of the space at each diver's station. Crew efficiently/safely moved divers to & from pangas; and offloaded dive equipment from pangas. Divemasters very professional; maintained control of each dive. Effective dive briefings; safety was a primary concern. Diving was great!! Definitely needed 5mm+ and hood; thermoclines . . . cold water; gloves mandatory since divers spent a lot of time on the rocks watching sharks, rays and reef denizens pass by.

UW Photo Comments	Awesome subject matter . . . the Eagle Rays and Hammerheads actually come to you! Camera table crowded, but as long as divers cooperate it works. Crew take good care when handling camera equipment.
