On Whales, Planar and Otherwise

[YinYang]

And they are almost without a doubt some of the most intelligent creatures on earth besides humans.

I'm a diver, and we once did a dive in Mozambique. This particular dive spot was aptly called G-spot, because it's so hard to find, but when you do it's like hitting gold! Just an amazing reef! On our way back a school of dolphins started swimming with the boat, so we switched off the engines, and jumped in with them. That was so special, I heard that "clicking" sound for the first time that they make underwater.

There was also a group at this resort where some were doing their hundredth dives, which must be done naked. That's tradition in diving circles. It was hilarious watching them head out!

Don't even get me started on people hunting dolphins or whales... I will never watch that documentary The Cove, can't watch stuff like that.

One day I got lost in Joburg and accidentally drove past Peter Lamberti's house, don't know if you guys know who he is. He's one of the GREATEST underwater documentary makers, so I parked the car and rang the bell, and he opened up. I didn't know him, and said "I'm a fan, so I just took a chance". He invited me in, showed me his studio, we had tea, and then he gave me a copy of all his documentaries. Sometimes you just have to be impulsive in life and take a chance.
