Galapagos Photos
We have posted 575 new images shot on our latest Galapagos Islands diving trip, a 15-day run on the liveaboard M/V Sky Dancer. All the underwater material was shot with Canon 5D digital camera in a Sea and Sea housing with a 24mm f/1.4 lens, and the topside material was shot with a Canon 1Ds Mark II camera with 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses. We had phenomenal encounters with schools of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini), literally by the hundreds and thousands on nearly all dives at Wolf and Darwin, not to mention good luck with Galapagos sharks (Carcharhinus galapagensis), Galapagos penguins (Spheniscus mendiculus) and brief looks at marine iguanas underwater. Diving in the central islands was OK, not great, although we did have good fish displays at Cousins and clean water and sunlight at Gordon Rocks.
