Comments	My wife, son (age 26) and I dived with Scuba Iguana for four days in early December 2011. The operation is very well run: good gear, good safety instruction, knowledgeable dive masters, thorough briefs before each dive, good boats and the dive masters are also excellent photographers and take pictures videos of each dive which you can view and purchase afterward for only $25. It is the souvenir of a lifetime. Boat tours are two dives a day, usually leaving at 7:30 am and returning at 4pm. Boat provides a snack and hot tea after the first dive and a hot lunch and juice after the second dive. The pelagics and fish life were fantastic: Manta rays, eagle rays, hammerheads, Galapagos and white-tipped reef sharks, green sea tortoises and barracuda. Water visibility varied between 30 to 70 feet. Water temp was cold, about 60 degrees and we used 7 mm wetsuits. Dive masters were good guides and pointed out marine life that we would have missed like scorpionfish and moray eels.
