Dolphins can be a$$holes

Dolphins can be a$$holes. Perhaps a further explanation is warranted. I was down to around 800psi, others were low, and it was almost time to do our safety stop, if we could stay awake long enough from this boring dive. On top of that, Group 1 was coming from one direction and Group 2 from the other, so all divers were coincidentally in one general location.

Blue whales. Balaenoptera musculus. One of the most amazing big animals I have ever seen. The back of the whale just went on and on and on until we saw the tiny dorsal fin at the back.

We are pretty darned excited and have sighted our first gray whale of the season in the lagoon 2 weeks ago. I was up in San Diego 4 weeks ago and a local whale watching company told me that their first sightings of the season were a week early. Fingers crossed and cheers to a great season!!

The staff and the boat drivers are safe, knowledgeable, and know exactly when to put you in the water. Everyone on the boat got their fill of seeing the ocean fish and mammals throughout the day. Well-fed, awesome accommodations, expert and friendly staff, all make for one awesome vacation!
