Islands Travel and Diving

Galapagos Islands, a place that time almost forgot, they found that tourists bring money. It has become quite a problem for the islands and confusion for the islanders and their government. Too much travel and too fragile places no tourists, no money. But the powers that be do their best to balance everything. Our interest lay in the swim with whale sharks, sharks. On orders from one of his fellow divers that have made the trip before we stopped in Quito, Ecuador’s capital, for a few days a trip to San Cristobal, for some site seeing.

It’s worth the trip, the city itself is very interesting and entertaining while the surrounding countryside provides magnificent scenery and many interesting people.The area is the largest producer of roses in the world, twenty-five long-stemmed roses for $ 1.00 USD, which is the national currency them. The next stop was the island of San Cristobal, where the jump for diving trips. There we go up the Galapagos Explorer II and began.After adventure finding our room and settled in we were introduced to and welcomed the captain and crew boats, there are fourteen divers and eight crew members.

We then went to a small island not far from San Cristobal to check out dive to test our equipment and buoyancy. On the first dive we saw sea lions and are able to interact with and their videos. Later that day we were all summoned to a briefing where the dive master told us that where we want to dive is one hundred and forty miles, and that the ship was moving at an average speed of ten knots. Math is quite simple-we’ve got some time on our hands. Welcome break after the flight and other travel. I would say very good crew, such as food and accommodation and diving. Derived from the volcanic Galapagos Islands and rather amazing, not what people would call it pretty but liver. The combination of the open sea and islands beautiful stiff and quiet, but be seen to be truly appreciated.

As might be expected to draw a dolphin boat and we were entertained by their antics for sometime. Dive master on board also certified the island guide required by law so that our group was allowed to visit the islands themselves, and then a tour scheduled and co-ordinated by the government. They really tell the captain what time to land on the island and how long to stay. Well quite possible to go diving. After arriving in Darwin we are ready to make the island and pigeons around Darwin Arch. The arch itself is located about two hundred yards from Darwin Island and stood on a plateau with shallow waters around the arch and then fall to a depth of several thousand feet.

In open water is referred to as the blue swimming because the water is so deep and wide around you is blue as you’ll see when you visit our website and see some videos. Address in the resource box. On the first dive we did not see the whale sharks and a bit disappointed though there hammerhead sharks, dolphins and various sea creatures. In almost every dive after that we did not find the whale sharks and able to take some beautiful video and our first sighting pictures.After dive-master told us that this is the first whale shark that looks this season.
