Bottlenose Dolphin

Description:

We saw a pod of about 6 bottlenose dolphins while out on a dhow near the Straits of Hormuz off the coast of Oman and about 45 km from the coast of Iran. They seemed to enjoy playing beside our boat.

Hi, these are fantastic shots! However, I think this might be a humpback dolphin (due to the funny dorsal fin shape).
