The Galapagos could spoil diving anywhere else. After maybe 2 days, you grow accustomed to turtles, sea lions, eagle rays, white-tipped reef sharks, schools of barracuda, schools of many tropicals, and more. Many of the normal sightings in the Galapagos, things here in such abundance they are ‘normal’, would MAKE the dive if you saw just one in so many other places.
Often, I’ve ascended from a dive thinking, “Gee, that was pretty bad,” only to have excited newcomers rave about all the sightings once we were in the boat….same dive, two perspectives. Most of those same newcomers notice themselves that 4 days later, even they are saying, “Sea lions, sharks, rays, eels, turtles…yeah, but what else?” But they will also tell you that every dive they do after the Galapagos is subject to a standard set by the Galapagos.
As the founder of Dive The Galapagos, I can’t speak for the entire team involved in our tours, so in essence, these are my Top 10 Dive The Galapagos 2009 Moments.
Happy New Year!
