a magical underwater encounter...

This footage captures the incredible experiences of our lucky passengers...the footage is taken using the new GoPro black (i want one, they are a bit of a 'must have' if your visiting New Zealand and taking part in lots of activities etc...) this footage really captures the peacefulness of the dusy dolphins under water world. The dusky dolphins are virtually beakless, they have a large dorsal fin witha paler trailing edge.

It's also clear from the footage that the dolphins are able to propel through their peduncle/tailstock, these dolphins are known for their acrobatics and agility. They can reach speeds of upto 35km/hr. They can reach depths of at least 150m. The males are bigger than the females reaching approximately 2.1m, whereas the females reach 1.8m.
