South America
From the incredibly rich Sea of Cortez, where some of the most impressive marine animals can be seen to the schools of Silky sharks at Malpelo Island and Whale sharks everywhere! The warm and cold waters mix and a complex system of currents meet in the Galapagos islands where penquins swim with tropical and temperate fish species . . . .
Overview:
Here are the highlights!
- Argentina for Southern Right whales, Magellan penguins, Elephant seals, Sea lionss and Orcas.
- Fernando de Noronha, Brazil, considered the best scuba diving destination in Brazil.
- Chile - Easter Island and Robinson Crusoe Islands.
- Malpelo Island, Columbia - home to a unique shark population.
- Ecuador - the Machalilla National Park.
- Venezuela - Mochima National Park with 36 islands just offshore and over 50 dive sites.
- And the jewel in the crown . . . . the Galapagos, a World Heritage Site where you encounter creatures with no fear of man and some of the rarest species known on the planet . . . .
The worst fleet absorbed by the largest, worse fleet
Aggressor Fleet, Galapagos Islands
Added: 23rd February 2012 by racerbruce
I can say without a moments hesitation, that The Aggressor is the most incompetent, and overblown ripoff on the oceans and seas. Crap rundown gboats, dangerous dive practices, and owners that were absolutely abysmal to deal with. Boats that need dry dock repair are pitched to the unsuspecting consumer as...

The itinerary and variety of tours, and the gorgeous dives were very professional, relaxed and...

Fabulous Galapagos

I can't say enough about how wonderful Red Mangrove properties and staff are! I was in Galapagos for a week and did their Darwin Triangle package. It was the best dive trip I have ever been on in 25 years of diving! I dove with sea lions, mantas, turtles, whale...
Take another boat
Humboldt Explorer, Galapagos Islands
Added: 14th January 2011 by rabodetoro
If this is a new boat, how did it get so screwed up so fast? I don't know where to start to list the problems with this boat. Maybe the fact that you will get electrocuted if you go in the hot tub? Or maybe it was the lack of...
