Happy Lawyers
We at Miguel's Diving just took a group of scuba diving lawyers back to the airport. Not impressed by the countless schools of fish available, they were asking for big fish and pelagics. Although Napol.ean wrasse appeared on several dives, a big one swam close for clear glimpses in the sparkling sunlight. On another dive a school of several dozen large Longnose emperors foraged along the top edge of the second wall at 40 meters. One pinnacle attracted large Midnight snapper.
But diving was delayed considerably on the final day when silky smooth seas offered up multiple schools of dolphins, playing within a few meters of the dive boat. They rested on the surface, soaking up the sun. Others performed acrobatics by rising tail-first slowly from the water and back down again. The schools were both Bottlenose and Risso's dolphins, but they did not mix. The Risso's were noticeably larger. The only camera available was on a cell phone.
