Wolf Island

After a 16 hour crossing, we finally made it to Wolf Island.  Some 120 miles from North Seymour, Wolf is a small island with incredibly high cliffs.  For the next few days we will not do any land excursions as there is no way to actually get on Wolf or Darwin.

The first dive of the day was at Shark Bay.  As the name may indicate, we did see many sharks of all kinds on this dive.  The surprise for us was the number of dolphin we saw on our safety stop.  They are so playful and incredibly entertaining.  As we boarded the panga at the end of the dive, dive master and videographer Alejandro said seeing that many dolphin was good luck.  Boy was he right!

The next dive was at Landslide and it proved to be one of the best dives of the trip.  The seas were so rough and the current so strong we dropped to about 75 ft., wedged ourselves in the rocks and held on.  From our little theatre under the sea we saw a parade of hammerheads, a flyby of spotted eagle rays in perfect formation, turtles, silky sharks, Galapagos sharks, black tip sharks and dolphin.  Every where we looked we saw something more spectacular than the next.

The next dive was at Shark Bay again and the last dive of the day was at the Anchorage where we saw red-lipped batfish.

After dinner we pulled up anchor and headed toward Darwin for another day and a half of amazing diving.
