A friendly Atlantic Spotted Dolphin swims in the clear waters of Bimini

While in Isla Mujeres, my freediver buddy mimics this whale shark as it begins to go vertical to gulp in large amounts of fish eggs.

The Freediver provides a wonderful balance to the hammerhead and making the image black and white adds drama and contrast.

Offshore dolphins portray their personalities in unique ways. Rough-toothed dolphins have a certain prehistoric look and don’t often encounter freedivers. They can become quite curious, using their extra-flexible neck to investigate newcomers to their environment. They are also one of the main enemies of tuna fishermen, capable of filleting a caught fish while it is still on the hook.

Hawaiian spinner dolphins may steal the show on any dive along Kona’s reefs. Their huge pods and playful nature make them especially photogenic.

The shark may look scary in this image, but she was actually very polite. She came in slow and vacuumed in (NOT ferociously bit) the fish presented to her.
