One of the friendliest and smartest animals in the ocean, it is rare to see dolphins while diving. They tend to follow motor boats, playing in their wake. However, once in a while you may run into one or two. Dolphins tend to travel together in families they call pods. The most common dolphin out of it's 40 species is the bottle nose dolphin. What most people do not know is that the orca, or killer whale, is a species of dolphin as well. Smart animals, they use echolocation to find their food in the dark depths of the ocean. Dolphin teeth are believed to function as antennae to receive incoming sound and to pinpoint the exact location of an object. It is always exciting to see a dolphin in the wild. Unlike other marine animals, these mammals are not afraid of humans and will approach divers.
