Hmm, these are no spinner dolphins (stenella longirostris) but Pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata), they are family of each other, though :)

@NamuTheOrca Thanks very much for the correction. I have corrected the title and description. I find dolphins very hard to ID.

Hey Nick looks good in the small window, but when expanded to full screen it looks like it is running at 15 fps, but very sharp otherwise. HD is the way to go.

@dingopauly Maybe your graphics card is struggling with it at full screen?

@dingopauly These sure look like spotted dolphins, many un spinner like characteristics.

[bubblevision]

@CAPTJAYO You may well be right. I'm far from an expert on dolphin species.

I LOVE DOLPHINS

@bubblevision You're welcome :) I don't know why, but I find Pantropicals always very easy to identify, they just have such a distinct body shape, you can see it at around 0.06 seconds, when the dolphin turns. Their cape (the black on their back) is very distinctive as well :)
