I just replied to Ian just a second ago, but even in the Pacific, you might be hard pressed to see 6 dolphin, 6 sea turtles, and a ton of other cool stuff on one dive... not that every dive is like that, but that was my second dive here...
oh and I forgot, 1 squid yesterday, 2 today...

You really need to dive the pacific before you make uneducated statements. I've done about 300 dives in the Caribbean and ove 600 in the Pacific. I don't think I've seen 6 dolphins and 6 turtles on the same dive but I've seen more then that on seperate dives. There is so much more to see(coral and critters) in the Pacific overall the caribbean is boring. I think on a few dives in the Galapagos I saw well over 20 turtles and hundreds(yes 100's) of hammerheads on the same dive. There were a few dolphins on those dives as well. Yet the Galapagos isn't even in my top 5 of pacific sites.
