Why do YOU love diving?  One of the things that keeps diving so interesting for me is the excitement of thinking...OK, just what does this day have in store for us underwater?  You never know when the person who jokingly says "i want to see a whale shark" just might get their way.  There is little we can do to plan for that kind of rare event.  But you never know when an ordinary day will become extraordinary.   Every once in a while your moment in the water places you in the path of something special.   That can happen anywhere at any time, the possibilities are truly infinite.   Here are just some of the highlights of our dives in the past weeks and months.  We have been blessed to have the scale tip to extraordinary several times.  The hammerheads in this photo were with us for about 10 minutes.  They were interested in chasing after each other and seemed unaware of the 6 awestruck divers gawking at them.  It's a rare treat to see one even  for a few seconds much less to have them swim about as if we didn't even exist.  Memorable indeed.  Another dive found us following a school of 600+ white lipped jacks.  Watching a manta at a cleaning station, frolicking with dolphins and catching a quick glimpse of gray reef sharks as they skittered away from us.  Amazing.  All this while humpbacks were sing in the background and making it all feel otherworldly.    (This blog was written in early February during the height of humpback season).  We had several days of "off the hook" diving but even more special are the wonderful guests on our boat.   You give me a reason to look forward to winter's chilly and sometimes rough waters.   Sorry it has taken me so long to publish this blog.  I wrote it in February but it took me until April to figure out how to add the photo.  Miss you all but .....I'm glad the water is warming up.
