Trying to join the pod and get away from all the crazy humans 💁🏼🐬 When you know better, you do better (hopefully) When I got educated on Hawaiian spinner dolphins, I changed my behavior in the water. They are close in the bays sleeping, and chasing them and interrupting their sleeping patterns disrupts them and it snowballs into so many more issues for them which is becoming detrimental to them as a species. I've been educated through several friends who are marine biologists, not by being put on blast by these self proclaimed conservationist on Instagram who create pages to bully and just say you're wrong. If they put half the effort into actually educating people instead just attacking, they could get a better message out and be taken more seriously. Everyone I know through diving on this island has a passion and love for the ocean and would never want to do anything to harm or exploit the dolphins. It's hypocritical to have the exact same pictures on your page, but it's ok because you have conservation in your name and are out there doing 'research' I'm doing the best for what I have been educated on. I am not a professional. I'm out here living my life, creating a better version of myself and hopefully inspiring others to get out and chase their dreams like I did 💙 PC: @jbacerra . . . • • • 📸✈ @kailua_kat • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Photo curated by @theetlrblog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Tag your friends and inspire them to try SCUBA DIVING today • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tag @scubaindia and use #scubaindia #DiveWithETLR to get featured ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • • Show us some love by following our #facebook page too.
