"This large pod of spinner dolphins hunt in the open ocean during the night before returning in the early morning to the Sataya reef lagoon to rest," says photographer Lucie Pollet. "They spend the day in the lagoon to rest, play, mate and learn. On this particular morning, the dolphins were curious and in a playful mood. We spent two hours with them, interacting. My heart was jumping with happiness and excitement. It was an amazing encounter."
