Been swimming Dolphins with the kids. Me and the missus did it 20 years ago, but what a great experience to do it with your kids and see the joy on their little faces. Great family day out today.

Swimming with dolphins is very, very cool....they're REALLY smart creatures...to the extent that they even have a sense of humour, can differentiate between human languages, etc.

Dunno what I'm doing today. I had plans but cancelled them because it's supposed to rain today. The weather report is now telling me that the rain has also been cancelled. We'll see.

Was diving on a wreck off Mauritius few years back and a school of dolphins came to play - best experience ever. Such fantastic creatures, and so playful. Saying that, I nearly shat my wetsuit when they first appeared

I’ve dived with seals, sea snakes, sharks and manta rays, but no dolphins. Fully jealous!

I rode an orca at SeaWorld once.
And fed it, and helped the handler with it's teeth, etc. They lose a lot of teeth, apparently...which they end up swallowing, cutting them up internally. Part of the reason they live so long in captivity is that they get dental care!

And it wasn't that big a deal, TBH. People hear "orca" and they think 'killer whale'....which is a misnomer --- they kill other stuff in the ocean, not people....they're nothing more than a REALLY big dolphin. REAALLLY BIG. And actially pretty friendly as long as you're the one holding the bucket of fish. Amazing animal.

Orcas are beautiful creatures, toyed with going out to Canada to see them in the wild a couple of years back, but not made it yet.

We knew the dolphins were in the area as we’d seen them from the boat, it was more the surprise and elation when they came down and made their first appearance as we had forgotten about them, and certainly didn’t expect them to do so.

They spent a while swimming about with us, and generally just being very curious I suppose. Wish I’d been in to photography back then and had kit under the water with me. It was our honeymoon and I had learned to dive here specifically to do it over there.

Had hoped to see Manta rays, but the dolphins more than made up for not seeing them. Mauritius is just outstanding for diving, every species of fish, eel, shark etc available (never saw an sharks diving, but did from a submarine trip we went on).

Saw a beautiful honeycomb moray, which camouflage very well in coral reefs and was another close encounter with filling my wetsuit when he popped up with his teeth showing as I was passing by....

Was diving off Dunbar once and the local male seal came down, he got very close with his head to mine, think my mask mirroring possibly attracted him, he was awfully close....

Getting used to my new phone. I went for the OnePlus 7 pro and at the moment I am blown away by how good and fast it is, and it's the slowest version wiht 'only'6gb of ram, they go up to 12... The screen is amazing and the cameras are great too for a phone.
The battery also seems to last forever and charges silly fast.

Well don't judge me but me and my misses have looked at their site and her husband has a decent sized d!(k so I'd only guess that bloke is similar or bigger! They are fully fledged they have a site and also have their sister sites that they have links too etc. I can't remember the name and to be honest dont want to shame them although they prob wouldn't mind traffic to their site! I could only imagine the trunk had sex toys in it lol. I can't look at them seriously since I found out lol
