Comments	Trip of a lifetime! Had an encounter with a pod of dolphin who engaged us, vocalized to us (listen to the video) and hung vertical inviting us to rub their bellies. AMAZING!!! Also had a very close encounter with a Manta that I was filming who continued to advance so I just laid back and let them glide over me. The only bad was a hurricane within 150 miles that kept us moored in the same location for a couple days. BUT, the dolphin encounter would not have happened had we moved on so I'm not complaining.
