The Galapagos

Considered by many to be the ultimate destination for serious divers, the Galapagos are home to any incredible range of aquatic life — some of it on the decidedly large size. Divers can experience everything from sea lions to huge rays and hammerhead sharks. The ultimate Galapagos encounter is with giant whale sharks, which can grow over 50 feet long.

• The link immediately to the right will open a separate window in which a four-and-a-half-minute QuickTime movie will automatically play.
• To see this movie, you will need to have Apple’s QuickTime plug-in installed, which you can download free of charge.
• The movie is 15 megabytes in size, so a high-speed connection is pretty much essential.

Eric Ault’s Trip Report
