Whale shark swims right through scuba divers in Galapagos Islands
These scuba divers were drifting along on a mild current in the Galapagos Islands. They had ventured to the remote waters of Darwin Island to see hammerhead sharks and other marine life. They hoped to catch a glimpse of one of the ocean's most beautiful animals. Whale sharks are the biggest sharks in the ocean. In fact, they are the biggest fish of any kind. Second in size only to a few species of whales, they are truly enormous. But despite their size, they are truly the gentle giants of the deep. They have no teeth and they cannot bite a human or cause any harm, unless they crash into one who does not move out of their way.
These scuba divers were in complete awe and wonder as they witnessed this mammoth up close. It appeared out of the blue and curved toward them, cruising right between the divers in the group.
These gigantic sharks come here each year to bear their young and to feed in the currents around the islands. These waters are filled with hammerhead sharks, white tipped sharks, Galapagos sharks, sea turtles and fish of all shapes and sizes. Scuba divers also come here to explore the waters and see these animals in their natural environment.
Three strong ocean currents collide here, bringing plankton and nutrients to the surface. Small fish congregate here, followed by larger fish that eat them. This brings the sharks and larger predators. It's a very unique and biodiverse part of the world that sees few humans. The animals here are famous for their lack of fear of people. This provides a close up look at some of the world's most magnificent life in its natural environment.
