I was having a great day spearfishing but it was about to get even better...
A big dorsal fin came charging towards me, a butt clenching moment for any spearo but it turned out to be Danny. After a brief introduction I gained a new dive buddy. He's a slightly better diver, although I like to think there isn't much in it!
He warmed to a fellow breath holding fish hunter and he spent about 20 mins with me. He was playing games like; pull the carbon fin, sneak up and scare the diver and show the diver how to swim properly.
Like most dive buddies I swam off and did some dives but when I surfaced he was behind me and gave me a nudge. I don't know if he wanted fish (not going to get any from me - I don't share food) or was just playing around but he sure made me jump!
Spending time in the water with a wild dolphin certainly gives you a buzz but it is important to respect the animals space and not chase them down, harass or harm them.
