Dive Into Your Imagination

Schooling Fish, Darwin Island, Galapagos

Living in Galapagos was the best three months of my life. I dived at Darwin and Wolf Islands every week for three months. The very first time I saw a whale shark my buddy looked at me and gave me the out of air signal at around 60 feet. I looked at the whale shark and I looked at my buddy and knew what I had to do, but was upset!!! Lucky for me I had encounters on nearly every dive we did at Darwin, I created a club called the Darwin Arch Club. To locate the whale sharks we would sit on the side of the rocky reef and wait for a shadow to approach. So many times after we dropped into the water we would see a school of jacks in the distance and wait for the shadow to approach to know if it was a whale shark. Many times the shadow would be an animal moving slowly towards us in the water, but others it was just a school of jacks. But it was always some school for sure!
