Comments	Booked through the Siren Fleet that I have become fond of. Quality in Palau, quality again. Every diver's dream, the Galapagos, what the ocean once was and should be. The outer islands of Darwin and Wolf were teaming with wildlife and coupled with the other dive sites, practically the entire Galapagos Fish guide. Virtual tornadoes of swirling fish schools, it just never gets tired swimming with Hammerheads and Seal Lions. Numerous eagle rays, turtles, white tip sharks and even basking Mola Mola. Zodiacs in strong swells to all dive sites some with very strong currents. Reef hooks optional. Advanced divers only. About 50 minute dives. Always had extra air and wished we had stayed down a bit longer. 2 land excursions, up close and personal with iguanas, frigates, sea lion pups, blue-footed boobies and tortoises. Crossed the equator 4 times and celebrated New Year's Eve on-board Ecuadorian style. Should have visited Quito and skipped our days in Guayaquil.
