“You’ll get to swim with them,” I overheard our guide say as our boat bobbed in Emerald Bay.
“Great,” I thought. “I’ve always wanted to swim with dolphins, or maybe it will be whales!”
Boy, was I in for a shock. As we rounded the island of Big Major Cay we spied Pig Beach. And it’s just that.
Within moments of approaching I was amazed as ten little piggies ran into the water and swam up to the boat.
While most of my fellow passengers were happy throwing food from the deck, I decided to throw myself in and get personal with the hungry lot.
The beasts were friendly and had no objection to me patting them. It was the highlight of my day — and the last creatures in the world I’d thought I would be admiring underwater when I’d signed up for a three-day diving course at the Sandals Grande Emerald Bay in the Bahamas.
