Tues, 9 Feb -- Part 2

Tues, 9 Feb -- Part 2 so, i am patiently watching the turtle and waiting for it to surface. ..... then i hear Marie yelling at me .... DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she was quite far from me, but she was really shouting, she didn't want me to miss them. i turn toward her voice just as 7 dolphins swim past me !!!!!!!!!!!! but they didn't swim off ... they were just cruising around us. so, of course, we started following them. we played around with them, or them with us, for over 1/2 hour .... it was the most incredible, unbelievable thing i've ever done ! me following right behind the dolphins ! this Bottle Nose Dolphin and this Spotted Dolphin seemed to be especially close; they were always hanging out together, swimming along side of each other. they kept swimming back to check on us, to make sure we were still following: keep in mind that we are in the wild sea ... NOT a Marine Park ... these are wild animals that have chosen to spend some time with us !!!!!!!!!! Marie said that all of this is very unusual even for divers and snorkelers with years of experience. to have even ONE experience with a Ray, Turtle, or Dolphin ... much less ALL of them in one afternoon !!!!!!!!!! ..... have i said what a lucky girl i am ? i have also posted a video of the dolphins on You Tube. go to www.youtube.com and type in "Glovers -- Dolphins" in the search box. finally we decided that we should go in ... without any stingray data :( ..... but we weren't finished with our luck yet ..... on the way in Marie spotted this Nurse Shark, with it's head under some coral ... you can just see his tail and body ... sleeping ... sound asleep obviously; because it never moved, and we photographed each other along side it for quite awhile. me this is the BEST DAY yet .... could there possibly be more ?????????
