The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

Because we hadn’t been diving in a while, we started with 2 easy beginner dives in Punta Estrada and Loberia before attempting the stronger currents in the rest of the Galapagos. We saw a number of different fish. Some of the small ones were hanging out in the rocks.

The bigger ones were more out in the open.

There were many pencil urchins at these sites and something was growing on all the spines.

We saw pencil urchins growing inside a clam shell. We saw a number of clam shells but never any live clams.

There were several types of starfish. These ones had stubby arms and were a strong yellow with spikes.

Occasionally there were outgrowths on the rocks, some very delicate and white, others grew as these small fans.

We saw our very first white tipped reef shark.
