It was one of those beautiful dolphin diving days! As we were readying the boat - dolphins could be seen surfing the waves rolling off Ponta Point.
Not long after we launched did we find ourselves in the company of a large pod of some 40 dolphins that included 9 dyads (mom and offspring pairs) including Savanna, Blossom and Silva with her first born!

Slipping in we were immediately surrounded by engaging dolphins and what followed was truly humbling as we were singled out for belly up circle swims amongst social bouts down below where teenagers could be seen socialising amongst themselves.

We emerged from the water some 20 minutes later in awe of the close encounter we had had with the local Dolphins of Ponta who took time out of their day to come and spend time with us.
Deepest gratitude to our guests and volunteers who made it possible for us to get out there.
