Hi,
I will be going on a liveaboard in Sept with Brothers/Daeldalus/Elphinstone as the itinerary. I was wondering based on the usual dive profile, and ocean condition, would I need nitrox to do all 4 of the daily dives offered? If the current are strong where there is alot of fighting with it and/or the profile has most of the dives in moderate depth, then I would presume I would run low on air before reaching my NDL. Otherwise, if much of the dive is below 15 fathom, I would reach the NDL pretty fast if I am on air.
Also, are all the dives off the zodiac? Wife wasn't so crazy on the getting back on the zodiac in galapagos, and the mass back flip then fast descent there is a bit chaotic, especially when a few adjacent people are holding camera gears on rough seas.
Is the deployment of delayed SMB required by every diver, including the use of the reel? Since not everybody in my group has reels.
I also noticed on the critter time table, almost nothing is there in the month of september. Is that the month where I won't be seeing much of anything?
