Galapagos: Kicker Rock

These are some shots from our trip to Kicker Rock which is about 45 minutes off of San Cristobal. Our guide tricked us into snorkeling with sharks, seals, rays, turtles, etc.... The trick of course, was the shark portion... On the first dive, there were a handful of sharks. They would swim around 20' below us as we passed through a 100-yard crack in the stone island, this was a HUGE adrenaline rush. On the second dive (ya, we went back in, Wyatt and Jof went in three times), there were dozens of primarily Galapagos sharks, but some white tip reef sharks as well... At one point, as many as 10 sharks slowly circled our human bait ball, looking for the weakest morsel. I would have bet against it at that moment, but we all wound up living.
