Great video of a scuba diving trip to the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador around Darwin's Arch. Very dramatic music and really well shot, especially given the always difficult diving and visibility challenges in the Galapagos. It starts slow, but halfway through you get to see tons of schooling hammerhead sharks, hanging around a big whale shark and even a manta ray, which I never say during out trip there 6 years ago.

There is some really interesting Galapagos footage here, albeit rather dark. The opening minute was definitely the best - with Darwin's Arch in the background, you can watch slow-motion video of dolphins flying up out of the water! The rest of the video is typical Galapagos Islands scuba diving with whale sharks, eagle rays, seals and great schooling hammerhead sharks.

Whale sharks, whale sharks and more whale sharks! This video is crammed with 5 minutes of the largest fish on the planet, found in great quantities in the Galapagos Islands off the coast of mainland Ecuador in South America. I never, ever get tired of watching these creatures, and always bring back memories of our own scuba trip to the Galapagos.

Here's a funny video from the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Taken off North Seymour, the clip starts with a giant manta ray, thens transitions to focus on whitetip reef sharks. Keep a close eye starting around 1:45 in, where a sea lion comes in from the left to investigate the camera, then gets sidetracked and nips at the tail of a shark - now that's courage!

If you like sharks or appreciate their form and beauty, you have to watch this video. Taken in the Galapagos Islands off the east coast of Ecuador, there's 9 minutes of shark action, including the Scalloped Hammerhead, Galapagos, Blacktip and Whitetip Reef varieties. And of course, no scuba diving video of the islands is complete without a Whale Shark too! The best parts for me are the silhouettes of the dozens of hammerheads - they are graceful, unique and also very shy. Great camera work!
