Darwin's Arch
Many divers believe that the best diving in the world is around this tiny lava arch near Darwin Island.
In this isolation, converging ocean currents and nutrients collaborate to create some amazing high-action diving. We saw dozens of large Galapagos, Silky and Hammerhead sharks here.
But it is not easy diving. The surf and surge can be brutal, currents strong and relentless and visibility muddy. But we made three to four dives each of the two days we moored here.
Ultimately, we were exhausted but extremely gratified for the effort.
