Maui December 1-12, 2011

On the first dive day December 5 we saw two pairs of whales breaching and tail flapping at different locations - probably each pair a mother and calf - between dives. Between dives on December 9 we had a dozen spinner dolphins playing around the boat for 20 minutes until we had to move on to our last dive. They raced in front of the boat and did spinning leaps out of the water. We also saw a very large manta ray from the surface. No pictures, though.
