Scuba Divers Explore the Mysterious "Secret Cave" of The Galapagos Islands

Aptly named, the Secret Cave, there is an underwater opening that leads deep into Wolf Island. It cannot be accessed above sea level. Scuba divers descend to a depth of 18m (59 feet) to enter a passage through the volcanic rock that leads to a large cavern deep under the island. The pathway to the cavern weaves up, down, and around, through wide portions and narrow portions, leading the divers to a sloping ascent into the dark cavern.
Using dive lights, these scuba divers illuminated the roof over their heads and marvelled at the rock formations. They were looking at something that only a few people each year are able to see. The sounds here are swallowed up by the formations and voices are dim and echoey. After gazing around for a few minutes, the divers descended and found the passage that led them around and through the base of the island. They emerged at a spot near the opening where they came in.
During their 49 minute dive, these adventurers saw fish, turtles, and sea lions in the cave. Occasionally, large sharks are also encountered on the dive. This cave is mysterious and fascinating and those who were able to explore it had a great appreciation for how fortunate they were.
