Comments	Diving in the Galapagos is challenging, but eminently rewarding. The water can be cool and a 7 mm wetsuit at minimum is advised. The diver should be in good physical condition to deal with currents and climbing into inflatables. That said, the environment is stunning, the diving superb and exciting, and this boat and crew are among the very best. While the number of dives is limited by the shore excursions, the opportunity to walk in Darwin's footsteps is well worth losing a few. Everyone learned an immense amount of natural history. Divermasters Walter Torres and Nelson Martinez are among the best. Lenses should include a telephoto (70-300 mm) for land and birds, a 24 mm, 16 mm and 60 mm (for the seahorses). Go. Now. And support the environmental stewards.
