Part of the team...
After the third attempt, the pod, which had been largely ignoring me until this moment, came racing in towards me in what seemed to be some sort of recce mission. After being "charged" repeatedly by one particular individual the pod seemed to dismiss me as non threatening, and promptly bunched around me, including me in their swimming formation. I had five dolphin on my right and four on the left, I was sandwiched in the middle, in amongst the school!
