A small patch of peace

Sharks turn out to be quite shy than dolphins. The water was almost as clear as air, yet only the tips of the coral pinnacles emerged from the depths of a seemingly bottomless ocean. We grabbed our snorkelling gear, and the dolphins swirled around us for ages. Four of them were locked in a bizarre dance. Taking a closer look, it became graphically obvious they were mating, undisturbed by our presence.
