Swimming with.....

Things can happen on these Islands.Snorkelling with wild dolphins in one of them.During a trip to a dive site, we encountered a curious group of bottlenose dolphins, which seemed not only interested in speeding in the boats bow wave, but were very playful even when the boats slowed down.Decision was quickly made (don't think of the 6000 feet of water underneath you), get in there !Instead of following the dolphins trying to get closer with a camera, which makes the dolphin’s swim off. I just free dived down, and tried to stay down for as long as possible, the dolphins approached pretty close.Every time a small group came past, one of them would come and examine me from close by...WOW!!!After a way too short time, the show was over and I found myself alone in the deep blue.A big OK sign to the boat, and I was picked us to continue the trip to the dive site.But it can even get better than that..A few days later, Anne and Jules were diving with guests at West Caicos when they spotted an Humpback Whale mother and the calf in shallow water in-between the boat and the Island.Again here, no hesitations.... get in there !!!!!!!!!!!!!Anne had a unbelieveble close encouter, underwater !!! with a mother whale and here calf !!It must have been an amazing site, the size of those animals are enormous. Like watching a big bus swim..Well, I am not jealous.... yeah right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Seb(The pictures are not mine, nor taken that day, but just for illustration)
