Scuba Diving and Dolphins

To pass my time without the wife and kids, I certified in SCUBA diving over the past few weeks. Last Saturday, I was able to join some friends on a boat dive to the Kerama Islands. Thanks to Mark and Josh for sharing their pictures with me...

Although the diving was really awesome, the coolest part occurred on the boat ride home. We came across a pod of 30-40 dolphins who then raced and played with our boat. As the dolphins were jumping around us, I broke out in spontaneous singing:

Aye Calypso the places you've been to,
the things that you've shown us,
the stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,
the men who have served you so long and so well

Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee doo-dle ay ee

It was a really cool experience and luckily some in our group had video cameras. Below is a clip from one of their cameras:
