Seems like a turtle on every dive
Turtles were everywhere; on every dive in the Galapagos, it seemed like we had sea turtles. Note, I said sea turtles; normally, there were at least two or three per dive. I also want to note that there were almost zero jellyfish on the dives. So were the waters too cold for the jellyfish, or were the sea turtles spending their days in the Galapagos eating jelly, I don’t know.
Here are some amazing sea turtle images Margo took, believe it or not, on a snorkel trip, at Vincent Roca Point on Isabela Island in the Galapagos. On the same snorkel trip, I saw the biggest sea turtles of my dive career resting on a sandy bottom in ten feet of water. There had to be around twenty just sleeping in the shallow, cold, and green-tinted water.
Come join us in 2027 and 2028 (See link): Kids Sea Camp has created a family-friendly dive vacation aboard the liveaboard The Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos Islands. This unique, one-of-a-kind family dive adventure is custom-designed for divers of all levels. We have planned a milder, more family-friendly diving schedule and itinerary suited to recreational divers.
