A sea full of dolphins

This morning we had some incredible encounters with three species of dolphins: bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins and common dolphins. Today the dolphins were very curious towards us, especially the spotted dolphins which spent a lot of time swimming slowly around us very close to the boat and often looking up at us. As well as our above water photos we managed to get some great underwater videos.
