Clymene Dolphin [Stenella clymene]
Description
Clymene dolphins are smaller, fast-moving dolphins that divers may encounter when they travel in pods offshore or along deeper coastal waters. Underwater, they often show up as quick flashes of color and streamlined bodies, moving with synchronized, purposeful swimming. If you’re in the right place at the right time, you may witness them turning and surfacing in coordinated bursts—an exciting reminder of how dynamic the marine world can be.
