As we headed out to the morning's first dive/snorkel, we were greeted by a pod of pilot whales, including two beguiling calves that brought out "oohs" and 'aahs" from the group. What a way to start the day in Roatan.
The dive and snorkel featured beautiful fish, cleaning stations and an experiment with a special (harmless) dye to show the filtering abilities of some of the sponges we learned about. What a
great experience seeing the dye go into the sponges body and coming out its excurrent opening.
