Comments	Great trip. Great diving. Don't be scared of all the talk of current and cold. While this trip wasn't for beginners, and bouyancy and air consumption is important - if you can do a free hanging saftey stop; and do about a 50 minutes multi-level profile - you can do this. Make sure to check the current water temp. A 5 mm with a hood was only necessary for the southern islands, a 3 mm would have been better for wolfe and darwin. Hammerheads, dolphins, turtles are everywhere. The shore tours are great. Stay with the group - one couple got seperated and had an hour of tense floating until the rest of the divers surfaced and the dingy came for them. Aggressor fleet does it right -- food, accomdations and diving safety were first class.
