Surfacing
Photograph by Nadia Aly, National Geographic Your Shot
“I was in Bimini in the Bahamas shooting hammerhead sharks, and after a few weeks I decided to take a break and see if we could get a good dolphin encounter,” says Nadia Aly, a member of our Your Shot community. “We headed out in the afternoon and spotted the dolphins pretty much right away.”
Aly had been in the water for nearly two hours when she captured this shot. “The dolphins were mostly feeding on the bottom, and every so often they would come up for a breath, check me out, and go back down. This moment was magical. Suddenly all the dolphins below came up to the surface, and it was so beautiful. The waves, the dolphins, the sun—everything is moving. Keeping your eye on the prize, looking for that perfect moment, is what it’s all about.”

I want to be in that space!
I want too! But i want to repeat something like that: swimming with dolphins in the ocean
😀
Yes, it must be amazing. There is a wild dolphin here where I live. She has her own fans they’ve been swimming with her for years. However, tourists come and think she is there for their pleasure and jump on her or try and catch on to her fin. They have no sense of treating her with respect and care and as she is, a wild dolphin in her element not ours.. Some ended up in hospital… serves them well! (did I just say that??!!) lol!
Yes, it’s amazing. But there are some limits. We can not touch them, because it’s dangerous (in fact, they are in their own space)…
It’s bad when it happens what you said. 🙁
Beautiful!!
Indeed! 😀
