Diving and Photographing Wild Dolphins underwater

Swimming with dolphins and Diving with Wild dolphins can be an exhilarating dolphin encounter or down right frustrating. These fascinating marine mammals move at the speed of light (in water obviously) and can disappear in an instant. Trying to keep up with a pod of dolphins while pushing an underwater camera housing is exhausting to say the least so when a good dolphin encounter occurs it’s a rare moment to be savored and etched onto your memory. Luckily enough I have been able to swim with these bottle nose dolphin and common dolphin a few times in my life as well as having seen humpback and spinner dolphin from the surface. The best dolphin experiences have without doubt been off South African coast and Mozambique.
