As I sent up my safety sausage, the dolphin turned around and started to make those dolphin cackling noises. as if to call all his friends to see the strange human with bubbles.

Today was dolphin day!!!  Up until I had some to be apart of the crew on the Nautilus Explorer, I had never seen a dolphin on SCUBA.  Yes I have seen them spinning in a wake or playing under the bow of a boat, but not underwater.  On this contract we have had many occasions […]

We have seen humpback's 4 times already!

I think that the ones we saw on the safety drop were different from the one today though. While snorkelling we saw one for a good 5-10 minutes. It was unbelievably big. Awesome! it seemed […]

My whole body was tingling during our Night Dives!

The thing I love about night dives is how your senses hearing and feelign are heightened as the sense of sight is restricted. On tonight’s night dive at El Aquario, the water was filled with whale songs coming from every direction. For 8 minutes the wails and crys were so loud you could feel the vibrations in your chest.
