Blue Dolphin [Stenella coeruleoalba]
Description
Blue dolphins are sleek, fast-moving dolphins that often appear as a moving “flash” of color in the water. Divers may spot them cruising near the surface or along the edges of deeper channels, sometimes with quick, curious approaches before they dart away.
