Dive 13 @galapagos / wolf island / dec2003
Water temperature: 25°C
Bottom time: 48 minutes Max. depth 85 ft.
Drift dive. Viz. 40 - 60 ft.
For me this was the very best dive of the trip. Current was strong, a little bit stronger than the previous dive, we went to the same location, looking for more galapagos sharks encounters, and the show started with an eagle ray's parade, for about 4 minutes, the 3 eagle rays swam very slow, in front of us, and pretty close, we could almost be able to count their dots, after this, some 10 -12 galapagos sharks were coming one by one, and then, a really large school of hammerheads (70 - 80) stayed above us, suspended in the current, for near 15 minutes, every one of that minute is clearly stored in my mind as the best dive ever. we were grabed to the rocks and after the sharks leave, we separated ourselves from the bottom and started going to the blue.... the sensation was amazing, i mean, the current took us very fast as if we were flying above the rocks, and we encounter face to face with turtles, galapagos sharks, stingrays, barracudas, was like crossing a highway and almost be knocked down by the sharks, only in 4th dimension if this is possible..... my computer started crying asking me to stay for some more time there... so i had to do a short deco-stop at 20 ft, was not very easy because of sea conditions, but the smile of that 48 minutes is still in my face.....
