Comments	A tremendous operation/destination; one place you should experience at least once during your lifetime. Definately not for beginners; cold water, strong currents, thick wetsuits/heavy weighting/bouyancy concerns, and dinghy diving make the overall diving challenging but definately worth the payoff. Large schools of dense fish, playful sea lions, interesting volcanic topography, manta rays, stingrays, turtles, and of course sharks - Galapagos, hammerheads, silkies - all plentiful. Sensory overload. Peter Hughes operation is top-notch; excellent service and accomodations. Land excursions with animal interactions interesting and guided. Overall, trip pricey but worth every cent.
