What's the most wonderful thing you've seen on a surface interval?

I'm going to reverse this and mention the worst thing I ever saw on a surface interval.

We were motoring from one site to another in the Galapagos, and some of us were on the top deck taking in the sun. Just overhead were a couple of frigate birds, flying along and matching the speed of the boat. One was flying directly over me. It was a beautiful sight indeed, until....

Being surrounded by hundreds of dolphins off the Murcielago Islands in Costa Rica was pretty special. They were everywhere.

Most special though would be a whale shark on my first wreck dive. It stayed with me the entire dive and the fallowing (snorkeling) surface interval. I think it was as interested in me as I was it.

I was going to say the European women who were sunbathing when I was in Bonaire. They don't have the hangup about wearing tops to their suits that american women do. Course there were a couple that should have.
