Spinner dolphins hunt at night and rest/play in the day, often breaking into smaller groups. Usually they ignore the humans, but all of a sudden this group approached me, making eye contact and showing off their skills.

About Artist

Shera Mercer

As an underwater photographer, I am privileged to witness the awe and beauty of wildlife beneath the waves. In my work I want to share stories of survival and behavior, especially of endangered wildlife, to promote marine conservation. People protect what they love, and sharing the stories of our underwater friends is the best way I know to get more support for our oceans. I take photos as a free diver and scuba diver (and use them as reference to carve marine life jewelry at 'Alohi Kai Jewelry).
