Thanks-hope you saw lots of hammerheads & some whale sharks. No whale sharks on our trip & hammerheads were sparse too but was still an awesome experience
I’m not big current fan! It was all I wanted but probably not all that bad as it goes in Galapagos. Splashing in at Darwin Pillars was like going into a washing machine but not too bad after we got down. We hit a wicked downcurrent at Landslide at Wolf that took me on a ride!😅
Thank you--we had a great trip on the HE last May. We were on the 7 day itinerary which focused mainly on Wolf and Darwin. I think the water temps are usually a little warmer there than other parts of Galapagos. Our water temps ranged from 77F to 82F with no significant thermoclines. We wore 5mm wetsuits but could have got by with 3mm. Overall, I'd probably stick with 5mm just to be safe and take along a vest and hood just in case and especially if you are visiting other Galapagos dive locations. The HE staff can provide you more info on water conditions once you get closer in. Most of the dive videos/photos were shot with GoPros and a SeaLife camera. Hope you have a great time on your trip!
I just came back from Humboldt Explorer 30 Dec 2024 - 6 Jan 2025, nice video!

@@Suspence-1990 Hi we saw hammerheads and yes, very lucky with our encounters with whale sharks on our dives near Darwin's Pillars. They were huge!!!
Great video. How was the current? Did not seems to crazy on the video.

Great video. I will be aboard Humboldt Explorer in June. Can't wait! What thermal protection were you using and what camera did you use? Thanks.
