I don’t have much time for this post, but I wanted to post something from my trip to the Bahamas. I just got back from a Blackbeard’s scuba cruise–a week of living on a sail boat, diving and cruising around the Bahamas. In short, it was amazing–an experience of a lifetime. We were lucky enough to swim with dolphins, sharks, sting rays, and sea turtles among others.
The best part was definitely snorkeling with the dolphins. This was not an attraction where you pay to swim with a couple dolphins, this was the real thing! We had just finished a dive and one of our crew members was out snorkeling when a pod of 11 dolphins started to swim around him. Everyone ran to the side of the boat to watch while he yelled, “This is AWESOME!” I quickly clued into the fact that we were all just standing in awe watching and not jumping in the water with him. I raced to get on my fins, mask, and snorkel (shaking from excitement in the process) before they swam away. It turns out that they enjoyed swimming with us and stuck around for about 30 minutes. The experience is definitely up there near the top of my list. It is very rare to be able to swim with wild dolphins, let alone for 30 minutes!
Here are a couple short video clips and some pictures. I’ll be posting a longer video with different snippets from the trip later on in the week.

Where did you go in the Bahamas? I’ve scuba dived in Nassau many times. It’s my favorite place on earth. The water is crystal clear, the sand soft and white, the sea life spectacular. There’s nothing like swimming next to a 5 foot long barracuda.
Thanks for sharing the experience on your Bahamas trip , the images were mind blowing so were the videos. I guess you enjoyed the crystal blue waters and sunshine of this exotic island.
