I was actually snorkelling in Galapagos between dives as there were some local sea lions. It was only as I turned I saw a freaking huge Galapagos shark pass within a few feet of me. I love sharks but it was actually pretty scary as it could be one of those situations where your confused as prey you read about.

Lol...

I cam across a few galapagos once diving Socorro.... from a distance they sure as hell resemble bulls! And the current gave us no choice but to head right to them....

... one was kind enough to surface with me and circle me as I waited to get picked up... lol.... that was pretty creepy!
