1 Basking Shark

South Haven, Skomer

While the crew was waiting for the divers in the Blue Shark, a peculiar fin was seen, first thought to belong to a resting cetacean, but proved to be a large shark just below the water surface

5 Common Dolphins, including a calf

Garland Stone, Skomer

Dolphins followed us right beside our rib, bow-riding and leaping out of the water for a lengthy period of ½ hour

Broad sound

Short encounter, high sea state so we only had a chance to see the minke surface once
