PART TWO I LOVE TO SWIM WITH SHARKS IN GALAPAGOS


Hammerheads cheerfully share the marine world 



All the species are swimming around getting exercise but mainly looking for food 



Note the size of the whaleshark compared to the scuba diver
 


A transitory Orca (killer whale) drops in for a snack.  My friend, Roberto filmed 14 off the south coast of Isabela about a month ago 


The white tipped reef sharks are resting together on the ocean floor.  No other sharks do this.  Generally sharks need to keep moving at all times even when sleeping
 



Bottlenose Dolphins share water with their relatives the Orca

 


And for a little variety there is always a swim with a fast moving whale shark!

AND THEN THERE ARE ALWAYS THOSE BEAUTIFUL HAMMERHEADS LURKING ABOUT, CONSTANTLY SWIMMING


These Hammerheads just kind of fit in with all of the other undersea life
