Thank you very much! It is a great dive destination. If you go there, you may also want to spend 2-3 days in Quito as it is very nice. I dove in Galapagos from July 30, 2023 to Aug 5, 2023. The water temperature was warmer than normal by 5-7 degrees Fahrenheit according to the liveaboard crew. I was lucky that I also had my 5mm wetsuit with me as I used it for most of the dive sites. The water temperature was anywhere from 70 (Deg. F.) to 80 (Deg. F.) at different dive sites. Another great dive destination that is similar to Galapagos is the "Mexican Galapagos" (i.e., Revillagigedo Islands). I was there in March 2024. I have a video for that trip too if you wish to see what marine life you could encounter there. Cheers

Thank you. I used GoPro 11. I have chapters for my video so if you jump to the “credits” (i.e., at 17:02 minutes) , you will see the complete list of my gear.

Thank you! It is a fantastic dive destination!

Thanks 👍

The footage are from various depths. For instance, Oceanic Whitetip Shark footage are from very shallow depths (10ft-20ft) and hammerheads footage are from 90ft-110ft. They all varies. Hope that helps. Cheers

@@KSFDiver Cool was just scuba diving in aqaba which is the same red sea, went down to max 30m which i think is around 100 feet but didnt see most of the things you saw.

At 49 seconds of the video, I have the trip dive map and all the name of dive sites that we dove. Cheers

😂Yes, it felt like 3 millions or even more! You couldn’t see the end of it! It was pitch black under them. This was the biggest school of fish that I have ever seen. This dive site was one of my favourite site in addition to Darwin/Wolf dive sites. Cheers

Thanks! Glad you like them.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the correction.

I am glad you enjoy it. 🙏🙏🙏

🙏, I used GoPro11.

Wow! We had no problem. I believe we had 2 divers on the board that were returning to Socorro with Solmar V for 5th and 6th times. Overall, we had a great time. Hope you enjoyed the footage. Cheers.

🙏 I am glad you enjoy it. Definitely a great destination to visit and dive!

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you very much! Definitely a must to dive destination! I strongly recommend it.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you. I am glad you enjoy it.

I went in August 2023. We saw 2 whale sharks. Nothing is normal these days when it comes to predicting marine life movements due to climate changes. I dove with a 5mm wetsuit for the entire trip since it was warmer than usual by 8 degrees! I am just going back home from Socorro island and will be posting my footage for this trip in a month. You should put Socorro on your bucket list as well.

Much appreciated! 🙏

It is called “Satellites and Orbits”. All the musics that I used for this video are copyright free. FYI, I got them through my editing software (CyberLink PowerDirector). Hope that helps you.

Cayo Largo is a small resort island in Cuba off the south coast of the northwestern part of the main island in the Caribbean Sea. There are only 8-10 resorts on this small island. All diving is through the marina where the dive Center is located. People are very friendly specially the staff at the dive Center. The dive leads/maters are fantastic (i.e., Israel, Henry, Pepe and the rest). It is a 5-10 minutes ride to marina from any resort and there are only 2-tank boat dives in the morning. Cheers.

🙏

Thank you.

Thanks.

Wolf and Darwin are the best dive sites. That is where we saw 2 whale sharks. No, we didn't dive at Gordon Rock.

Which month did you visit Galapagos? I try to figure out what is the best time to meet schools of Hammerhead sharks.

@@tanyap1312 they are here year round The only thing that changes is the visibility which is better between November and April But you have much less whale sharks But if your main goal is to find big schools of hammerhead I would advise you to go in Cocos Island in July-August Much less diversity but more hammerhead and sharks in general

🙏

🙏Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. Best of luck.

🙏

Thank you. We saw Hammerhead and Oceanic White Tips at Deadalus Reef (i.e., dive nos. 7-12, it is shown on the dive site map, see dive site map in the video at 0:48).

Thank you. I see your well South from where I was looks like I need to go back and jump on a Live liveaboard @@KSFDiver

Absolutely, the south part had the best dive sites. In general, nothing beats liveaboard diving when it comes to getting the most out of a dive trip. @@flyingmortgageman

Thank you.

🙏

Now scheduled for Galapogos liveaboard next June. What thickness wetsuit did you use?

I took 5mm and 7mm with me. The water temperature changes throughout the trip. I used 5mm the first 4 days and 7mm the last 2 days. Some people used 7mm for the entire trip. Hope that helps.

Thanks! That helps a lot.

🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. It is definitely worth it to go there even if one doesn’t dive! There are actually non-diving liveaboards too.

I I’m a padi open water diver, and I love diving but I only have 8 dives and I’ve heard that it’s pretty extreme diving in the Galapagos? Are there dive sites that has milder currents and easier dives? Or is it a good idea to go and be advanced before going? :))

I suggest you go to Galápagos when you are an advanced diver (i.e., have at least 60-75 dives with PADI Drift Certification). The best dive sites are at Wolf and Darwin Islands (where you will see whale shark, schools of hammerhead, etc.) and there are mild to strong currents at both islands. FYI, the chances of seeing whale sharks are much better in Aug/Sep when the water is colder (you will have to dive with 7mm wetsuit). Lastly, Quito (Ecuador Capital City) is very nice and you may want to stay there couple of nights before or after diving at Galápagos to see Quito Old Town, Middle of Earth, etc.

Thank you very much. Great information. I can’t wait to go! I will have to get more experience then. 😁
