Greetings from Raleigh, NC. I posted a question similar to this in the newbie forum, but I thought this forum would be better. My husband and I are thinking about taking a dive trip to the Galapagos this year or next if this year doesn't work out. We would love to get some opinions from other divers who have been to the Galapagos. Here are our main questions.
1. When is the best time of year to go? I've heard that Jan and Feb are the best, but I just read on here that April and even the summer are good. So which is best temperature-wise? I'm hoping to just use a thicker wet suit. Also, are whale sharks around more at certain times of the year than others?
2. Can you recommend good live-aboard operation? I saw Deep Blue posted as a suggestion in a previous post. And do any operations do 4 or 5 day trips? Since I've never done a live-aboard, I'm not sure if I could endure more than that.
3. Are the currents very strong? I've done drift dives in Cozumel that I thought were pretty strong.
4. Finally, if you have dove in the Galapagos, how was it?
Take care, Joy (and Erik)
