😱The Dangers of Scuba Diving Gordon's Rock in the Galapagos 🇪🇨Santa Cruz Island Ecuador

If you're looking to find large schools Hammer-Head sharks while visiting the Galapagos Islands, Gordon's Rock off of Isla Santa Cruz is the one where you are pretty much guaranteed to find them.

Large powerful hammer-heads are drawn like magnets to the strong currents produced by this semi-submerged crater hidden just beneath the surface. The upward swells of water from deep below provide adequate food for all of these large schools of apex predators.

Unfortunately for us, these conditions are not recommended for novice divers, and on the best of days you will quickly find yourself scrambling for something to hold onto on the rocks to keep you from being blown into the deep-blue abyss that surrounds you.

It was a rocky start for Fil who quickly learned that his gear may not be up to par with a sticky respirator and a strap which let go on his mask he went to replace. The gang forged along to find all sorts of creatures hidden along the rocks, including: massive moray eels, urchins, sea turtles, octopus, eagle-rays, stingrays, and yes, we found Hammer-Head sharks.

Making your safety-stop is no easy task, as this means returning near the surface where the ocean quickly reminds you how truly small you are. Everyone scrambles for chunk of sharp volcanic rock to hold onto near the surface, and try not to get blown away. After 5 minutes waiting, let go of the rock and the upward swells from the ocean sees your returned to the surface promptly.
