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.
