I've encountered quite a lot of dolphins this year. They don't seem to mind the jet ski and since there's no prop it's not too dangerous to follow them.

Not saying anything wrong with going quick etc and then shutting down as soon as you did.

I feel sure same pod that turns up every year..

More good footage!..keep the camera rolling when you're out over the summer.. ;-)

I was so lucky not to hit one! They just appeared out of no where! There was loads of small groups of them dotted about so thought it be best just to shut off the engine till i got alittle further away from them.

Thanks & i sure will...the gopro never leaves my side
