Our big excursion here in Kona was to go out on a zodiac to go snorkelling. On the was there we encountered a pod of 10+ bottle-nosed dolphins. They had a good time frolicking around the zodiac with one deciding it wanted to lay at front of the “boat”. One of the guides asked if anyone had a phone and he would video it. Yes, I volunteered mine. I was to airdrop it to the others on the tour. I did not get a chance to watch it before going snorkelling.

We were told that dolphins catch puffer fish, chew them without swallowing, then passing the fish to others in the pod sort of like humans pass a marijuana toke to one another. They get high on them but don’t get sick like human would if they injected them. They poisonous to humans.

This is where I would have posted pictures of my underwater experience but as explained, my phone got wet. If it ever dries out and I am able to retrieve the video/pictures, I will post at a later date. In the meantime I have never seen so many different fish and urchins….amazing. I took pictures from a book showing all the different ones.
