Schools of Galapagos sharks, Juvenile Whale shark being pursued by Galapagos sharks, Big school of hammers, silkies, silvertips, various species hunting balls of fish, big healthy schools of trevallies, many many shelves of whitetip sharks resting together, a healthy thriving system. I had to ask my self was this the way the ocean used to […]

Mixed big schools of Hammerheads and Galapagos, a short visit of a juvenile whale shark, and why not? […]

We have just finished our last dive at Roca Partida – wow! As usual, the giant mantas put on an acrobatic display, gliding over our bubbles and circling back again and again. A whale shark cruised by and we all checked it’s spots to see if it was the same one that we saw yesterday […]
