Galapagos Islands - a diving mecca!


The last volcanic themed excursion was to be my grand finale! Galapagos archipelago.. a week of scuba diving on a liveabourd boat, Sky Dancer. Wow, what a trip of a lifetime! The boat visited the islands of Wolf and Darwin, where it is possible to see: large schools of hammerheads, galapagos sharks, white tip and black tip reef sharks, turtles, dolphins, sea lions, barracuda, tuna, plenty of smaller fish....and then what has proved to be more elusive, WHALE shark!
I await a fellow diver's video of our top sightings on land and in the water ...until then , here are some tasters!
