REMOTE and EXTREME current diving! Wolf Island, Galapagos! [Part 5]

COME SAIL WITH US! Our 4-day 'Intro to Sailing' classes for Summer 22' are now open for bookings, learn more at www.cruisersacademy.com/ca1
WHOA! The current at Wolf Island is no joke! Join us as we jump into this dive Mecca and get worked by 5+ knots of current! We see hundreds of turtles doing their thing, massive schools of barracuda, and even get a surprise visit from some dolphins. We also get a chance to talk to our dive guide Paulo, and learn a bit about what makes Wolf Island so special and some of the issues it's up against. Thanks for tuning in! Love from B&B

    I dove Wolf for 4-5 days of glorious diving around 2003! It was a two week trip on the trimaran named Lammer Law (after a Scotish mountain). I don't think we did any hooking onto the reef (though I have done that in Palau). I do remember zillions of sharks, turtles, dolphins, and usually a half dozen whale sharks on each dive! I remember a dive or two where I observed hundreds (maybe 500 to 900) of reef sharks laying low in the more protected (from the current) water next to Wolf in what seemed like slumber. This brings back those great memories! Somewhere I have some great video of the intense underwater wildlife encounters.

    Okay, I'm a hang glider pilot and very often you want to stay over the hill/mountain you took off from. But there is always WIND blowing toward the hill/mountain. So to stay over your launch site you have to deal with the wind. I realized while watching this AMAZING video that current is like WIND. lol I've never SCUBA dived so current is a bit foreign. I also sail on lakes so current is not really there while I sail. But now I have a much better concept of current. It's under water wind! : - )

    This was a great episode! It looked like the birds were flying right up to the drone to check it out but I see you were using your long stick to mimic a drone at the end. Either way it was a good technique to get the shot of the birds. The dive boat should have dropped an anchor to let the divers hang on and stay together to deal with that current. The next time I am near Lake Tahoe I will have to book a lesson at your school. Palisades Tahoe and Heavenly are my two favorite ski areas and Lake Tahoe is beautiful.

    That was cool, I’ve been in a current that fast and didn’t have time to watch anyone else but it felt like outer space and now I can say it looks that way too! It’s like you take off every time you let go, I’ve seen lots of divers come up probably over a quarter mile away from the boat and have to paddle back with a BC that threw them on their face if they tried to swim forward. I’ve never seen that many Barracudas, they looked like a giant bait ball. They’ve always seemed like they vibrated in the water when they weren’t swimming. This was a really great video & I know it had to be a hard one, thanks!

    Brady obviously has an entire camera crew that pan and zoom in peoples faces for facial reactions this is a full pre-scripted production. People don’t care around actual bitcoin in the shape of a coin or have a full camera crew in a tiny sailboat your low IQ. You can really see that blue is a man pretending to be a woman in the FaceTime portion of this video his head is humongous without a filter on his voice sounds like he’s on three packs of cigarettes a day and helium he does not have a feminine voice. You will never see Blue in a bikini that shows his scars from having breast implants. This all got started through evil globalist trying to destroy the world with rare earth metals mining and battle born batteries. Cruisers Academy is not some noble thing it’s just a business no one is reaching out thinking that cruisers Academy is going to save the world the script is completely unbelievable and your low IQ is apparent.
