Santa Cruz island
We have now come across from San Cristobel to Santa Cruz and
continue to be amazed by the Islands and the wildlife. We managed to combine another diving/snorkelling trip, the
first part to visit a sea lion colony and the second part to check out some
white tipped reef sharks that rest on the sand in a narrow channel close by the
shore. Trish took some great underwater photos and some fabulous video footage
of sea lions playing around the four of them. I was able to dive and see about
15 of them playing around in the deeper water, they are so balletic in the
water and so clumsy on land the contrast could not be more pronounced. One
young sea lion came right up to my mask with its big eyes wide and copied my
breathing by blowing bubbles. On the second dive Glenn took some great photos and video footage
of the sharks being disturbed by me and Rafael and then circling around. Another amazing day!!! |
