Galapagos Snorkeling

SNORKELING IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS.

Whilst in the Galapagos Islands we went snorkeling every day at least once. We swam with some incredible underwater animals including Sea Lions, Turtles, Sharks, Stingrays, Penguins, lobsters and hundreds of species of fish. One of the most memorable, infact one of the most memorable moments of our lives, was playing with Sea Lions underwater. They especially liked it if we span around in the water, they would then do the same. At one point Adam was even playing catch with one using a sea cucumber it had collected from the sea floor. Whilst they give only the vaguest impression of the underwater world of the Galapagos we thought we would share these, admittedly poor quality, pictures taken with our $5 underwater cameras. We have included the species names that we know and guessed a couple of the others.
