Dive Trip Report
Bottom time: 56 minutes Max. depth 82 ft.
Drift dive. Viz. 60 ft.
After 14 hours navigation to get to this island, we were ready to see what is considered one of the best dive spots of the world. We just entered to the water and let the current take us, at 80 ft. deep we found a place to seat down securely, and watched to the blue. The large hammerhead schools arrived, it was a wonderful parade of sharks in front of us. It was amazing, As soon as they stopped passing in front of us, we just had to look above, and there was another group of hammerhead, they passed, and again in front or deeper the sharks parade didn't end. Wolf is a cleaning and feeding station for sharks and other big fishes. So there was also large schools of almost everything, a explosion of life in the water. After about 30 minutes, we started moving very close to the rocks, with the current, and started our safety stop, during that we also saw a lot of other species:
blue and orange lobsters
arrow crabs
black spotted rays
turtles
more and more hammerhead schools
green eels
big parrot fish
trumpet fish
Bottom time: 47 minutes Max. depth 92 ft.
Drift dive. Viz. 40 - 60 ft.
This time the dive plan was to jump to the water, at "galapagos shark's corner" and let the current bring us galapagos sharks. They didn't arrive in large schools, but were present very often, one by one.. we also saw a lot of hammerhead sharks in small groups, and again a great variety of life. Current was not very strong, so that was the reason why we didn't have large shark's schools around. Among other fishes mentioned, we saw lobsters, crabs, a huge black spotted ray sleeping, trumpet fish, triggerfish, pacific green turtles (about 60 cms diameter), dolphinfish (dorado), king angel fish, hieroglyphic hawkfish, bicolor parrotfish, sunset wrasse, moorish idols, gold rimmed surgeonfish, jewell moray, hairy hermit crab, and arrow head crabs.
Bottom time: 53 minutes Max. depth 114 ft.
Drift dive. Viz. 40 - 60 ft.
North caves at wolf. Once we signed ok underwater, we got down to 40ft. depth to the entance to a cavern. Then we saw a white tip shark inside a cavern next to the one we will penetrate, as we started going in, the sharks came out, at the begining i though there was only one shark there, but they where like five, coming out one by one. Inside the cavern, we saw eels, and large lobsters and a lot of small red fishes (soldier fish). Almost at the end of the cavern there was another lateral cave, but i did not get in, cause there was a strong surge, from the entance. Outside of the cavern we arrived to the "blender" the current and surge was strong, and in many directions, so suddenly it take us up or down, very fast and then again it changed, there was a (lava) wall with a lot of life and interesting shapes filled with corals, rocks, small fishes, shells, erizos, nudibranchs. there was a pinnacle in front of the entrance of the second cave. We went to the pinnacle and tried to stay there. It was difficult because of the "blender effect". we saw there, turtles, white tip sharks, and stingrays. Then we went back to the cave entrance to try to get inside, but the surge and current was so strong that the guide called off this cave, and then we finished our dive, letting the current take us, trought the wall, very fast, really nice journey, and for the safety stop, two fur-seals came and stayed playing with us.
