Geologists are our friends.

What an absolutely amazing experience, Goni! The photos are beautiful, and your narrative made me feel like I was part of the diving team. Thanks for sharing this unique experience with us.

Awesome narrative and pictures. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

Thanks a lot to both of you I am happy that you liked to read about my experience. I will never forget my encounters with the Dolphins especially. I don't think there is many places where it's possible to have such close interactions with them

I love visiting this aquarium, too, Samantha! The shark tank is extremely cool and there are lots of interesting exhibits to explore -- especially fun with kids. Still, my personal favorite is the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Certainly is worth going to Toronto just for that experience ! Taking the kids to an exhibition of wildlife stays with them forever. They reminisce with their friends for years. Never forget it. Certainly would love to repeat the experience myself. Looks like a masterpiece of an Aquarium.

Thanks for your comments, Garry. The kids there were all having a lot of fun, so it would be the kind of place for families to visit for sure. They have special kid-focused exhibits and play areas, perfect for keeping their attention and letting off some steam. The Dangerous Reef exhibit is especially impressive and worth the ticket price all by itself. But there are a lot of unusual exhibits and aquatic animals. My favorite aquarium still remains the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which I hope to...

Those Egrets and the Water lilies are so beautiful, really so amazing, thank you

Thanks Andredeya, The great egret is a huge bird, over a meter and maybe even a meter and a half tall! Very lovely to see this large white bird take flight!

I think I like the last landscape best of all, the sense of space and the fact that it's not at all what I expect when I hear "Everglades". Gumbo's travels, ever-enlightening.

By last landscape, I presume you mean the view of the alligator crawling away?

DrFumblefinger is equally fascinated and repelled by alligators. Here's photos of some he encountered while in Everglades National Park recently.
