Galapagos Rebreather Facilities

I'm off to the Galapagos next month, does anyone know whether I can get bottles, sorb etc out there? There are 3 of us going 2 Inspirations and an Evolution. As was told that our boat (MY Daphne) has the facilities but am now told they don't.......

Check with MV Deep Blue or thru Galapagos Adventures, Ken. I left some Sorb and cylinders there a year ago

I sent a few buckets of Sodasorb to the Galapagos for my Sky Dancer trip in August of '05 and it was held hostage in customs. Luckily I sent it a few months in advance so that I could pretend I did not need it any time soon and thus the potential extortion value was reduced. Still, it was a $100 or so per bucket to get out of customs.

Hopefully you can get some sorb that is already there if you only have a month! If not, you will probably have to ship via some expedited manner, and then get it on some freighter going to the Galapagos if the Daphne doesn't have a stop planned on the mainland prior to your trip. Good luck!
