Default My GALAPAGOS Dive Trip

I recently returned from an amazing dive trip to the Galapagos on the Aggressor. I got to try out my new dive camera. Both the land and marine life was amazing and "nothing" was scared of humans and just ignored us.

Here are a few more from the trip. We saw several whale sharks on each of the seven dives we did at Wolf and Darwin Islands. We even saw two at the same time.

amazing!
i absolutely love the biodiversity of the Galapagos.

was it at all freaky to swim with that many hammerheads, or were you too distracted by the pure beauty of sharks
