Our first scuba diving in the Pacific Ocean! Several miles off the coast of Ecuador, and we had hopes of seeing giant manta rays. Alas, it was not to be, but we were very fortunate to swim with some beautiful hawksbill turtles, octopus, lobster, and thousands of beautiful fish against a backdrop of starfish and fan corals. During all of the second dive, we heard the far-away sounds of whales frolicking in the sea, then when we surfaced, we watched them breach, slash, and smack the ocean's surface with their tails.
