Aloha Kona!

A pod of friendly Spinner dolphins welcomed us to the Big Island – they seemed as interested in us as we were with them. Everyone - including my daughter Chloe (age 5) - had a long swim with our new friends.  I have seen huge pods of Spinner dolphins before, they are often curious but not always interested with divers in the water.  This resident pod in south Kona, however, is as welcoming and warm as the Hawaiians themselves.

Mahalo Oahu!

A dozen big Galapagos sharks, with even more Sandbar sharks, made for some exciting moments for us on the north shore of Oahu.  I have always wanted to see the Galapagos and Sandbars up close.  These were some of the best encounters I have had with these species.  Whenever I have a close encounter with a novel specie of shark, I often appreciate something new.  In this case, I did not know Sandbar sharks have a silver lining on the caudal (rear margin) aspect of the pectoral fin.  Even better, my son Jack had his first pelagic shark dives. Not bad for age ten!
