Comments	Definitely for experienced divers; food very bland; boat showing it's age - broken drawers/knobs/worn bedding - crew and guides made up for all shortcomings - absolutely fantastic help and VERY safety conscious - water temp warmer than normal for time of year - Darwin Arch sad without top :) - Whale Shark siting's highlight of trip; Marine Iguanas runner-up; saw one Mola Mola at a distance; lots of hammerheads at Darwin and Wolf Island; 4 dives at Darwin and 4 dives at Wolf Island; visit to tortoise park like visiting a zoo - very disappointing; land excursion to see Boobies was fantastic - saw many baby boobies. Overall visibility not great but was expected. All in all a great trip with many memories
