On February 12, 2010, a group of divers made their way to the Galapagos Islands for a diving adventure. What was supposed to be an amazing adventure turned into a tragedy when one of the divers was overpowered by strong currents and went missing.

The Galapagos Islands are an oasis of volcanic islands. The islands are located 906 km (563 mi) west of continental Ecuador. In 1535, Fray Tomas de Berlanga, the Bishop of Panama, was the first to discover these islands while he was travelling to Peru to settle a dispute between Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro. When he got back to the Spanish Empire, he told them about his newly discovery and the animals that were living on the islands.

This group of islands was given the name "Insular de Los Galopegos", meaning "Islands of the Tortoises." In 1684, they made the first sketch map of the islands under the direction of pirate Ambrose Cowley. He furthermore named each island after some of his fellow pirates; others were named after English royalty and noblemen. In 1832, the newly independent Republic of Ecuador took the islands from Spanish ownership and later renamed those islands with new Spanish names. Divers often visit the Galapagos Islands for their dive adventures.
