Comments The live aboards Wolf & Darwin Buddy are wonderful boats, great accomidations and sevice. The crew top notch. The diving exceeded our expectations, the dive breifings were excellant and the ocean delivered what the dive masters hoped for. If you have a dry suit, take it. My wife used a full Lavacore jumpsuit under her rented 7mm and stayed warm. As you know it's always tough to get back into a cold wetsuit and at some of the sites you get your 3 dives in fairly rapid sucession. Numerous whale shark encounters, with one dive beginning with a backroll right over a whale shark going by. Scalloped hammerheads so plentiful to become boring (not really). Mola Molas, dolphin, mantas, eagle rays... you name it.
