I have posted 575 new images shot on my latest Galapagos Islands diving trip, a 15-day run on the liveaboard M\/V Sky Dancer<\/a>. We had phenomenal encounters with schools of hammerhead sharks<\/a> (Sphyrna lewini<\/a><\/em>), literally by the hundreds and thousands on nearly all dives at Wolf<\/a> and Darwin<\/a>, not to mention good luck with Galapagos sharks<\/a> (Carcharhinus galapagensis<\/a><\/em>), Galapagos penguins<\/a> (Spheniscus mendiculus<\/a><\/em>) 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<\/a> and clean water and sunlight at Gordon Rocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
