A trailer from a diving live aboard at Galapagos. The best dive sites of Galapagos are visited, including the remote islands, Wolf and Darwin, and an amazing encounter with a 12 meter whale shark.

The tortoise died today so I thought I’d upload my video from our trip there last year

Some quick clips of a few of the animals on the Galapagos Islands from my vacation

Part 3 of 3 – SCUBA Diving (and some brief time on land tour) with the Colombo SCUBA Adventures gang, June 2010. This is a compilation video and *I* did NOT choose the music for it!
