Video of the Day - Underwater in the Galapagos
I'm not one to shy away from a good adventure. I've bungee jumped Victoria Gorge, plummeted from a plane at 15,000 ft, and stood atop the summit of Kilimanjaro.
But the thought of strapping a cylinder to my back and descending into the depths of the ocean mildly terrifies me.
If there was one video that could change that and make me reconsider my fear, it would be today's Video of the Day from underwater videographer Darek Sepiolo. Captured along the coast of the Galapágos Islands with a Sony EX1, this 7 minute adventure displays some of the incredible sea life that the Galapágos is famous for. From sea lions and exotic schools of fish, to hammerhead and whale sharks; it's a stunning glimpse into an entire world that all too often goes unnoticed.
Do you have underwater pictures or video that we should see? Have you faced your fears while traveling? Leave a comment below and it could be tomorrow's Video/Photo of the Day!

You can get a similar aquatic wildlife experience in the Galapagos without diving. We had a fantastic time snorkeling every day during our tour there, and swam with nearly all the animals in this video (except for the hammerheads, whale shark and dolphins), plus penguins and even an iguana or two. Swimming with sea lions is a blast and doesn't have to be "death defying." ;)

The beauty and splendor of our Creator Yahweh is truly overwhelming.
This is nothing compared to the majesty of Heaven.
Praise God!

Well done, but I've been there and where were the sea turtles and most importantly, the penguins!!! We never saw sharks when we snorkeled. And one island spot has magnificent jelly fish with flashing blue and orange lights. Their light stings don't hurt and when you look down into the water, it looks like the night sky with blinking lights.
