    Galapagos land based dive op... San Cristobal island-- Are there any?

    well we turned up in september at scuba iguana in santa cruz and did about 20 odd dives with them, we ended up paying around half what some people had paid through their tour operators or on the mainland i guess it depends what your used to and your bargaining skills

    Galapagos land based dive op... San Cristobal island-- Are there any?

    depends when you go, high season may make it harder to book on the day with the better dive operators. but booking direct on the day will be much cheaper, it depends on how much time you allow yourself for the islands. i was their for four weeks and that was a rush at times

    Aladdin one?

    I'm sure that it will do everything i want but the lack of controls worry me. you can only alter the nitrox level via a pc. if i'm abroad does that mean i have to upload software on to other peoples pc's the whole time. this applies to veiwing the dive log as well.
