Diving Galapagos - Hammerhead Heaven!

Posted from: Galapagos, Ecuador

Well, i'm back from the depths and I can safely say that I wasn't alone down there! Quite simply the BEST diving i've EVER seen in the last 10 years as a diver.

It was 'touch and go' for a while as to whether the trip would even happen. A couple of months ago there was a huge upset with dive operator licensing. As a result, 12 operators out of 14 had to cancel their Darwin & Wolf dive trips - mine included. However, a slight 'change of heart' from the National Park Authority saw this licensing deadline extended to 31st December and a mad scramble began trying to arrange another trip. Well the upshot was I made it onto a boat and it was truely spectacular.

I've posted a collection of 8 videos which were taken during the 8 day diving trip around The Galapagos Islands. Most of the BIG stuff was found in the far north - after a 21 hour boat ride to the Darwin & Wolf Islands. A long trek, incredible currents, but certainly worth the effort.

And finally, after years of searching and 'near misses' i've seen a Whaleshark (well, FOUR actually). One happy diver!

AND, i've also posted a GALAPAGOS DIVING PHOTO GALLERY (61 Photos) from the dive trip.

Well, here's the videos...

Wow! Simply wow! That video is fantastic. Thanks for sharing it.

Amazing, you make my life seem very dull :0)

What! No pink elephants in polka dot bathing suits. Still you seem to have seen everything else. Great photos and video Russ. This must be the best diving ever.

Hi russ just a line to say HI. I just watched your amazing dive vids at spens.

Hi Russ,

On a wet miserable Saturday morning your diving photos and video entertained me and the boys.
It looks like it was amazing.

Continue having a safe trip

Cheers

Rick
