Whale Sharks, Dolphins, and an Octopus

I am not officially an Advanced Naui Diver! Two days ago we were heading out for a night dive when the captain Joe screamed at everyone to throw on their snorkel gear. Everyone sat on the floor in two lines until we were in the right spot. When we got the go we all slipped in only to find a 40 foot long whale shark at our feet. We had a good ten minutes of swimming with this monster before he got tired of us and swam deeper. What an experience that was and we weren't even planning on it considering they don't usually show up until March. When we made it to the night dive the highlight was an octopus that was one of the most curious Daniel our instructor had ever seen. We put our flashlights close to the octopus and he touched them and then backed off. He came over again and began crawling up our hands as well before going on his way.
The next day we set out at noon and dove 100 feet down to a wreck. Just to top that dive Lara, one of the instructors, had to swim completely naked for the dive because it was her 100th dive with Alton's. After that dive we were heading to the next sight when we saw a boil of tuna stirring up with birds flying towards. These are all signs of another whale shark because the birds, fish and whale shark all feed on the same thing. I was at the front of the line this time ready to go and I dropped right beside it to get a spectacular view of it's face. Everyone just waded there in awe but this being my second time I knew you can't ever stay still because these guys are huge and a slight flick of the tail sends them off. I ended up swimming after and beside the guy for a couple minutes. This one was much smaller, perhaps 5 or 6 meters. We all hopped back in the boat and saw yet another boil off in the distance. Again we formed our lines sitting on the boat and this time I dropped right into the middle of at least a dozen dolphins. The curious guys played around with me for a couple minutes before heading off. I turned to see where everyone else was and they were all back watching but I found myself right in the middle of them. As they left we chased after for a short while and played a little bit more. When we got back in the boat and headed off again the dolphins followed the boat and put on a show playing in front of it and leaping from side to side. Ready to finally actually head to the dive site we saw yet another big boil. As we came closer we saw there were two whale sharks, both small ones. Myself being the only one who got a good view of the first one meant everyone else still wanted badly not just to see the back fin. We came closer when suddenly the dolphins who were travelling with us scared the whale sharks off. It's not often in one's life do you have to say, "Alright dolphins, piss off already!"
Now I'm officially done and I think today's agenda is myself and three other guys getting 2 24's and renting a golf cart. Tomorrow my dad will be Utila and Wednesday is the biggest party night in Utila of the week. I'm sure this island's intro for him won't disappoint. Adios!
