Rudy and Loidy took us and the Texans to Devil’s Tunnels, aka Christ of the Abyss. When the dive first started, everyone was busy looking under a rock or something (I later found out there was an octopus). It was a bit crowded so I hung back. While I was looking around, I spotted a POD OF DOLPHINS!!1! I was so shocked it took me a moment to come to my senses. Once I did, I started grabbing for Curtis’s camera, remembering there was a metal clip I could use to bang on my tank. Then I remembered Cindy had the camera. I tried waving my arms and making a scene, but everyone was engrossed in the octopus. I swam the longest 10 feet ever to get to Rudy to alert him. By that time the dolphins had made good time and were quite a bit farther away. I’m kind of glad I didn’t have the camera because I might have tried to chase after them!
There were lots of fish on the dive, another jellyfish, apparently the dolphins came back although I didn’t see them, and Cindy ran out of air on her safety stop. Good times, good times.
dolphins, jill. dolphins. i wish they were more playful though. i don’t think they understood how awesome we are.
