What an experience, seeing them play in the water is one thing, but when we went diving and they were with us....the whole pod...amazing.
There is something kinda "spiritual" about it, but I'm not sure if that's because of the fact that it's on most people's "bucket list" or whether it is a genuine emotive response the experience in its own right....for whatever reason, it was moving.
We were lucky enough in that everyone on the dive was very experienced, therefore no-one used much air, meaning we could stay down for a long time - also lucky in that the dive leader decided to bring his underwater camera, as he later admitted that he had thought of leaving it behind! What a disappoinment that would have been! Every year I come out the underwater experiences seem to get better and better....last year it was hand feeding giant stingrays, the year before swimming and interacting with very large turtles. I really do need to start my memoirs!
Am heading home tomorrow to burst water mains all over Belfast and more (near) freezing temperatures. Truely, I could move out here and live very comfortably....although you have to have money to do it the way I imagine I would like to....the grass is always greener....except here I really do think it is!
