I did say "hammerheads" as in plural, didn't I?

Sometimes there's a few of them...

Then sometimes, there are even more...

To my absent friend and keen photographer, Jamdiver.

You promised me a bottle of this in 2006, but thanks to silly things like import laws, I couldn't get it.

I found it in the end, and it was all you said it would be.

So that's all I have. An amazing trip.

Save your pennies if you can, maybe I'll see you there, but for now, it's time for me to

Thanks for your time and patience - the wife and I hope you enjoyed it.

Cheers!

absolutely great!!! loved the pics. You sure saw alot of big stuff. That is the biggest whale shark I have ever seen. That must have been totally cool!

That was just an amazing display of pictures. I cannot imagine why I have not yet booked this trip. I am sorry if you said this, but I am still trying to absorb the pictures....which boat were you on?

Thanks for that.

I'm confused about whalesharks - reference books I have put their largest known size as 12.5m, whereas the guides in Galapagos (and my own eyes) would put them at closer to 15m. This big one (the one that buzzed me) was definitely closer to 15m than 12m.

Comments, anyone?

Never mind, next time I'll take my tape measure.:cool2:

I didn't say

But it was the Galpagos Agressor II.

I should be back there in 2010
