To Dive with Dolphins

02 June 2009 | Rangiroa
Dietmar Petutschnig
After 5 days of getting ready for the final exam of PADI - a dive certification - I went with a group of advanced divers to the outside reef of Rangiroa - a pass rumored to have dolphins - so as a special surprise 7 of these large mammals swam with us clicking and frolicking in the water around us - Katy my trench dive instructor from the TOP DIVE outfit here said - "this will be hard to top for you - there is never that many and they never come this close" - made friends with a wonderful underwater photographer Law Wee Chee and his wife Angie who shared their shots of this interspieces encounter with us. I'm the one furthers away from the action since I'm still a novice and like to stay clear of trouble ;-)
