\nToday was another wonderful blue, calm day on the ocean with dolphins everywhere. We started with common dolphins<\/a> and in our search for other dolphin species we saw several groups of common dolphins<\/a> everywhere. Our lookout<\/a> was guiding us through the dolphins to find Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. The spotted dolphins<\/a> surrounded the boats and raced us as we were leaving them. The bottlenose dolphins<\/a> were busy with mating, we saw high jumps close to our boats, as the males were showing of there agility and strength. We also saw several loggerhead turtles<\/a>. In the afternoon we had two zodiacs out on the water – one for swimming with dolphins and the other for whale watching. The swimmers had a great time with common dolphins while the other boat watched the common dolphins and ended with a group of sperm whales<\/a>. All of our clients were happy to see 7 sperm whales, followed by 3 more after!<\/p>\n
