Earlier this month we were diving from the shore at Cascade pier. What was just our normal shore dive, maximum depth of 16m and 20 - 30 meters visThe coolest thing ever happened we were swimming along and two wild dolphins swam along in front of us.
Dolphins are commonly seen around Norfolk, but this is the first time that Bounty Divers has seen them underwater while diving. What an amazing experience and the guys that were diving with us could not believe what they were seeing, especially during a shore dive.
Almost all the dives on Norfolk Island are close to the island and would more than likely be shore dives, however the towering cliff faces make it difficult to get gear down to the water and back... making boat diving absolutely essential.
Getting back to the Dolphins. I have been very lucky personally to have encountered wild dolphins while diving. The first time was in Mozambique and the second time was right here at home on Norfolk. But if I get to see wild dolphins in the water again some time in my diving years I will be a very happy camper.
