Divers hide in rocks as hammerheads swarm above them

Rumble / Wild Wildlife — The Galapagos Islands are a set of remote islands that are part of Ecuador. Formed several million years ago by volcanic eruptions, these islands are now home to some of the most unique and diverse life on the planet. The waters around the Galapagos are an equally fascinating world with an abundance of marine life. Whale sharks and hammerheads congregate here in great numbers, brought by the three main ocean currents that converge in this area. This meeting of the rich currents brings an upwelling of marine life and food close to the surface and this supports huge populations of fish.

Hammerhead sharks know that the Galapagos Islands hold a tremendous supply of food and they school here by the thousands. Scuba divers come to watch these magnificent animals in their natural environment. Divers plunge into the ocean and descend straight to the bottom. Here they sit among the rocks and watch what can only be described as the world's biggest and most spectacular Imax theatre. The animals swim past, over, and among the spectators.
