Long-beaked common dolphins are gregarious and are often seen ‘porpoising' at the water surface, breaching and bow-riding for extended periods of time. They are also highly vocal and like the short-beaked common dolphin, can be heard whistling to each other when they are above the surface of the water. They typically travel in large social groups numbering between 10 and 50 dolphins.
Getting close to one of the world’s most intelligent and playful creatures. A large group of Red Sea spinner dolphins
framed from the surface while breathing oxygen. They live in closely knit social groups called “pods” and are one of the world’s most intelligent animals.
Dolphins hunt for fish collectively in a pod using various tactics including “coralling” where the fish are chased into shallow water where they are easier to catch. They can also use echolocation, a clicking sound they omit which produces a return echo when it hits any object, to determine the location of nearby fish shoals.
These playful mammals are a common sight in the Red Sea, and Marsa Alam offers excellent opportunities to encounter them. Marsa Alam has two of the most important dolphin habitats in the Red Sea and the world – Samadai and Sataya reefs, both providing a home to large families of spinner dolphins.

What happens when a dolphin meets Photoshop polar coordinates. You can make it jump itself in a curious kind of way. It takes a few steps to make these so I created an action which will let me unleash more on my friends :) Just let me know if you don't like them and I will desist!

A friend took us for a boat ride while in Florida and these beauties followed along for a while.
After the encounter, I discovered that somehow while on the boat my camera got switched to a black and white setting. Thankfully, the other settings were quick enough to catch some of the action.
Two Common Dolphins, of the Cornish Coast at Padstow
The common dolphin is the name given to two species (and possibly a third) of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
Prior to the mid-1990s, most taxonomists only recognised one species in this genus, the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Modern cetologists usually recognise two species — the short-beaked common dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis.
The common dolphin is not the dolphin of popular imagination despite its name; that distinction belongs to the bottlenose dolphin due to its widespread use in marine parks and its appearance in the television series Flipper.However, this dolphin was the most frequently represented in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.
For me, this was the grand finale to my day trip out to our Channel Islands. I had at least one missed opportunity of breeching dolphins on the boat trip TO the islands. And the dolphins were around that late afternoon fish feeding frenzy although looking for them meant missing the pelican plunge dives. This pair flew by just in time to give me one last chance.

Info: A group of dolphins is called a pod. A pod usually is formed of around 12 dolphins, and it is the usual social group of dolphins. > www.dolphins-world.com/what-is-a-group-of-dolphins-called/

The dolphin breached the water with a corkscrew twist to give additional height. It reached about 5m clear of the water, just avoiding a belly flop on landing! All this with the Ceredigion coastline in the background. A fabulous encounter...
Common Dolphins are usually uncommon in Monterey Bay but this is an El Niño year with warmer waters than usual, and there are thousands of them further north than usual. This is the rarer oceanic form that used to be known as Long-beaked Common Dolphin but DNA studies of the various populations have shown that they are not a genetically distinct species, but that each long-beaked population is most closely related to their nearest population of Short-beaked Common Dolphins. I thought that the head of this leaping Dolphin stood out well against the splash of a recently-dived Dolphin.
