Bottle Nosed Dolphins

Enroute from Iran to India, on my tanker in position somewhere south of Pakistan and where the Gulf of Oman meets the Arabian sea, my ship was accompanied by a school of these playful Bottle nosed dolphins.Putting up a splendid show of acrobatics, as good as any trained dolphins, it was hard to believe that these were wild dolphins with hardly any human contacts.
Watching them I felt that they were competing against each other, trying to outdo the other in height of jump and the skill of jump.
To the many that I showed these photographs; found it hard to believe that these we photographed at mid sea and were amazed to realize that these were wild dolphins. I am so privileged to have witnessed this show.
Just posting a few of the 400 photographs that i managed to clicked of this incredible display.
Will post few more tomorrow.
