My husband and i just spent the most amazing diving week of our lives aboard the Deep blue.  Late march sailing including Darwin & Wolf.the boat is beautiful, and the crew is ultra efficient, friendly and fun.  Our guides gave us the option of land visit or additional dives when possible, and even split the group when both were chosen.  The food was lovely and plentiful, especially the between dive juices and snacks, they easily accomodated special requests ~ ie vegetarian options, or a special drink for each meal.  The boat is so well laid out that you can have time on your own, and don't feel crowded with 16 pax and 10 crew on board.The current was ripping at Darwin & Wolf, and we saw incredible amounts of sea life.  Schools of >100 hammerhead sharks, schooling Galapagos sharks, schools of every kind of ray.  One tip, don't take your fancy neoprene or kevlar dive gloves, the barnacles ate them.  We took gardening gloves and reinforcements of Duct tape, and our gloves held the whole time.
