\nAs we had little wind, we had another day with a flat sea. We did not have to travel far or wait long to see the s<\/a><\/span>perm whales<\/a> this morning. <\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>
\nThey seemed to be resting most of the time, and shallow diving slowly. At some point we saw some sperm whales turning on their sides and we could see a fluke above the surface! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, one of the boats was driving to another area and boom! A manta ray jumped out of the water! That was a crazy sight and must have been at least 2m in width! <\/span>
\nThen we arrived to another sperm whale and one started tail slapping in the distance. <\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThen we left the area to see some of the playful <\/span>Spotted dolphins <\/a>. Because the sea was so flat, we could see everything underwater. It was beautiful and they had many calves. We even saw at least 2 neonate dolphins, which are considered new-borns. Their foetal folds were still visible and they were really really small.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter a morning with 6 different species from all the boats which went out we had another 6 species but not quite the same ones in the afternoon. So in total today were 8 species observed. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNamely <\/span>common dolphins<\/a>, <\/span>striped dolphins<\/a>, <\/span>Risso’s dolphins<\/a> and sperm whales in the morning.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd in the afternoon, <\/span>bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and short-finned pilot whales, spotted dolphins and <\/span>Northern bottlenose whale<\/a> in the morning. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

From the Catamaran we met after the fast swimming and leaping striped dolphins 3 species on the same spot which were interacting with each other’s which is quite unusual. The bottlenose dolphins were together with the <\/span><\/span>Pilot whales <\/a>and then the sperm whales came up from their shallow dives. So another successful day.<\/span><\/p>\n
