Hehehe. The day before I was the only one NOT hiding behind the rocks while
the HHs where taking my measurements for their dinner plates.

Da Bird being safely wedged in the rocks (on three sides). But after 5 of
the HHs had circled me 3 times, getting closer each time, I decided that
the rock right behind Bird looked pretty good, too.

Got to say that Manuelita is really the best HH dive. To get close to them.
There were always more at Alcyone, but they tended to be much more shy
there.
