Victor is a <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphin<\/a> with a flopped fin that we have seen since he was a calf. Part from Victor we got to see his family too of about 100 dolphins or more. Today it felt like the sea was full of common dolphins as we saw at least four different groups, two with more then 50 dolphins. Next stop was Submarino and Ec\u00edpcio, two <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> belonging to a large group of about 80 dolphins. They were a delight to watch as Submarino with family spent a lot of time close to us and diving under us. Both species had lots of small calves among them as well, but especially the bottlenose dolphin babies were playful jumping a lot.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7998.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7998.png\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7984.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7984.png\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Watching Victors family (common dolphin)<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7986.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7986.png\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Mating going on<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7997.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7997.png\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Victor (behind) and a common dolphin with normal dorsal fin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8034.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8034.png\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Hello!
