Kicker Rock Snorkel - videos photos

Snorkeling at Kicker Rock, Galapagos Islands, on July 7, 2012. Videos are in Galapagos Videos 2012 Gallery.

Kicker Rock is in two pieces, and we snorkeled in the passageway between the two. A cruise ship boat is on the left of the photo. This photo was taken with my Intova Sport HD, a camera similar to the Go Pro.

The sheer cliffs of Kicker Rock. Note it's quite a distance from the shore of San Cristobal Island. The open ocean allows for the viewing of deep water fish who come up to feed in shallower water along the sheer cliffs beneath the surface.
