Galapagos

by kenmerk - last update: Dec 3, 2005

Hammerheads at Isla Wolf
Mantas at Cabo Marshall....
Well, I guess my first reaction after experiencing the diving in the Galapagos was: "how can I ever enjoy diving anywhere else now.... nothing could possibly top this...." Where else to you have the chance to kick thru schooling hammerheads to chase after the whale sharks ?????" (there may be such places around the world, though I guess I dont know about them....)

If you like the big aquatic sealife, this is the place for you.... We saw whale sharks on every dive at Darwin Arch, saw mantas on every dive at Capo Marshall, and you run into large groups of hammerhead sharks most everywhere you go around the islands.....

Really an unbelievable experience......

 Great post! But if anyone needs assistance, I have found Galapagos Inc by Wildlife Vacations (www.galapagos-inc.com) to be a helpful source for booking travel to the region!

 Those diving photos look great and it seems that there are so many things to do in the Galapagos Islands, of course, diving...it also remind my trip in the southamerica...

 Hi Ken, my husband and son are planning a trip to Galapagos. I guess liveaboard is the way to do, right?

 That story with the sharks gives me the creeps>;-) You were lucky. But this place is just beautiful the same.
