Two separate days while in a boat traveling to our next snorkeling spot we were blessed with a pod of Spinner Dolphins who frolicked around our boat and rode the waves on the bow of the ship.  I leaned over the side of the small boat to capture photos and video of these amazing animals.

This is one of my favorite photos of those moments.  You can see three dolphins with a pose that suggests their motion (the bow of the boat is just left of frame). The wavy texture of the sea, it’s deep blue colors and the peak of Manado Tua on the horizon in the distance adds to the image.
