Comments	The Aggressor II was comfortable and well maintained and the crew was ever present to help with any request onboard or in the water. My dive shop Panaqua in NYC organized the trip for fourteen divers and handled all arrangements without a fault, an absolutely great dive shop. We saw 25-30 whale shales, tons of hammerheads and Galapagos sharks along with an overwhelming assortment of life above and below. The dive masters and naturalists were very informative on ALL aspects of the Galapagos Islands. The only draw back was the slightly heavy seas and getting into the zodiacs after a dive, we were helped by the crew everytime we needed help but a ladder would be nice if possible. Alan Stabile
