Yesterday the dolphins were full of the joys of January !!
They leaped and frolicked around our dive boat for 40 minutes !!
Fortunately we were conducting a PADI Digital Underwater Photography Course so cameras were on board.
One of our PADI Instructors Calvin took an incredible shot of one leaping out of the water in front of Kota Kinabalu City.
All images here were taken of the dolphins yesterday.
Dolphins are social animals, living in pods (also called "schools") of up to a dozen individuals.
The Dolphins yesterday had joined pods because there were about 50 individuals, this usually happens in places with a high abundance of food.
Dolphin pods join temporarily, forming an aggregation called a superpod; some such groupings may exceed a thousand dolphins, such as we have seen around Sipadan.
The individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations.
Dolphins are a popular artistic motif, dating back ancient times and always a joy to see, hopefully this will not be the last we see of them. We are feeling that the Whalesharks will not be far behind !!!!
