\n
\nToday we had a fantastic day out on the ocean swimming with and watching several different dolphin species. We tried to find a fin whale that our lookout had seen in the morning, but after waiting and searching and searching some more we never found it so we focused on the dolphins. We encountered bottlenose dolphin<\/a>s in the morning, including the group of Bubblemaker. Our small boat also encountered common dolphins<\/a> and the catamaran Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> in the morning. In the afternoon we searched a different area and again came across different dolphin groups. We had common dolphins<\/a> closer to shore and Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> further out. From our small boat we could identify Victor, the common dolphin with a folded dorsal fin. We got to see some nice behaviours including very high jumps from the Atlantic spotted dolphins and plenty of bowriding with our boats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
