I am booked on the 10 night PH Galapagos Sky Dancer liveaboard in May 2007.
The clock is ticking and I'm looking for advice from those divers who have recently been on the PH Galapagos Sky Dancer:
(please respond ONLY if you have direct experience)
1. Luggage restrictions: I understand that with TAME airlines you can pay an overweight fee for your one checked bag. What if you brought a second bag? Would they simply charge extra? (can't figure out how to transport the dive gear + camera equipment in one bag!)
2. Luggage storage onboard: I was told by PH office that we may have to store our luggage in the cabin... is this true?
3. Land excursions: will it be possible to get up close photography of the wildlife? Or are telephoto lenses required?
4. Photo editing: how many photo editing computers are available onboard? Better to bring my own laptop?
Getting very excited!
