best way to come closer to the animals of the Galapagos, is
by means of soft movements, or without moving when you have
them in front, and not to make bubbles. If you move to come
closer, a turtle that rests, a shark that happens and even
a gigantic whale, they will get scared.
The only submarine animals that won't be
terrified of your presence (if you find them) they are the
murderous whales and the lions marine male adults. But be
careful with these last ones, because they can bite.
Another way to come closer to the animals
is to stay hidden under the water during the whole time while
you dive. The marine turtles, the sharks, the lines and other
animals usually swim for the surroundings and they are very
curious. They can happen until to a meter of distance of you.
