Claudia’s impressions: Phantastic sightings with limits, because on the afternoon trip with Stenella the animals have been quiet far out. We had common and uncommon encounters. One ATLANTIC SPOTTED DOLPHIN tried its limits in high-leaping and the CUVIER BEAKED WHALES showed up very nice. The limits of their diving goes down to 1.800m with a diving limit of 90 minutes. As well some guests got to their limits today, but luckily when speeding up again their feel better soon. So we did make the explanations not onboard but back on land, where the snorkel group already was waiting for their 6pm tour.
