Dear Team Member,
I hope this message finds you healthy and well. Happy New Year from all the team at DDE HQ, wishing you more adventures for 2022 and beyond.
We are still buzzing from our incredible expedition to the Galápagos Islands where fifteen CCR divers conducted over 250 successful CCR dives in what our guides deemed the best conditions of the entire year.
The biodiversity and sheer scale of Marine life are breathtaking, and perhaps a little tricky to put into words.
In short, reef diving is probably ruined for all of us for quite some time!
FROM THE DIVERS MOUTH
We thrive off our customer experiences. It is what DDE is all about.
#teamdd member Elmar Dette was on board with us in Galápagos, and this is his testimonial:
“While a trip to the Galapagos ranks very high on any diver's wishlist, going to Galapagos on CCR is yet another story. Dirty Dozen Expeditions trip organization beforehand by catering for anything a CCR diver could wish for - plenty of sorb, O2, tanks in all sizes - not only allowed for very smooth operations on the dive deck but also initiated well-being feeling for any guest on board."
"This accompanied by the great briefing and guiding by Galapagos Rebreathers turned this into a trip of a lifetime.
When it comes to diving in the Galapagos, diving bubble-free allows much more intimate encounters with marine life and what encounters did we have!”
“Whatever marine creature you can think of - it was there, most impressive the schools of Hammerheads which became more and more curious about those strange colorful creatures being us and thus circling closer and closer around and above us, what an incredible experience!"
If I were to name the best dives ever surely those at Wolf and Darwin would stand out, you truly felt like participating in one of those famed BBC documentaries."
"But there is a lot more to see, from hunting dolphins to hunting (!) Orcas to the iconic Marine Iguanas - the latter makes you feel like visiting Jurassic Park - to the giant tortoises on Santa Cruz Island, this trip did not miss out on any animal you could wish for in the Galápagos Islands.”

“An exceptional experience with great buddies from all over the world, thanks Aron, will be back for more!”
