Comments	This is my first trip back to the Galapagos in over 10 years. This trip was delayed for a year because of Covid. The operation was wonderful. We saw many whale sharks even though they were out of season. We saw many turtles, Galapagos and other sharks as well as numerous Rays. For those that are interested, this trip was reviewed in Alert Diver. A highlight, which I had not experienced before, with a ride and a panga near Fernandina where we saw an Orca as well as many birds and marine Iguanas. We also dove with the iguanas. Amazing. Crew was attentive and professional. No issues, even during the pandemic.
