Seven days of scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands (uploading the big video files is very slow, so it will take awhile before I get most of the pics and videos posted). Need I say more?!?!
Well, I guess I should say a little more.
I decided to do the 7 day live-aboard boat, because that is the only option that allows you to dive around the two furthest north islands, Darwin and Wolf islands. This is where the highest concentration of hammerhead sharks are, and the most likely to see whalesharks and other large marine animals. And wow, were they right. I literally got to swim with well over 1000 hammerheads in my 19 dives. I also saw 2 whalesharks, a couple of manta rays and eagle rays, countless turtles, dolphins (both on the boat and while diving), tuna, sea iguanas, tons of playful sea lions, and a curious penguin. Plus a land excursion to visit the lava tubes and giant tortoises.
