Galapagos Islands info

[ksegers]

Hi -

My husband and I are new to this forum, but not new divers. We are consdiering a trip to the Galapagos in May 2005 but can't afford to look at Peter Hughes or the Agressor type liveaboards.

Does anyone have information on the Deep Blue or a similarly priced boat? Also, has anyone had any luck booking with a company based in So. America? We booked our Red Sea trip directly with the Oyster last year and saved tons of money and would like to try the same thing with booking our Galapagos trip.

Any suggestions or information would be much appreciated.

Howdy!

I just want to join the others in welcoming you to SB. Hope to get to know you around the forums.

Booking with an international contact gives you few safeguards. I'd certainly want to do Trip Insurance, for several reasons. Run a Search on your quest, and you should find lots of reading, as well as the best forum for additional questions.

Completing your Profile and seperately - keeping your Dive Info up to date helps in future diving discussions. PM me if I can help you learn your way around.
