During a scuba trip to the Revillagigedo Islands, these people heard the underwater clicking sounds of dolphins. Check out their incredible encounter!

Swimming with dolphins is high up the holiday bucket list for many taking an exotic trip.
This extraordinary footage shows how tourists can make dolphins extremely excited about their presence. A video of a diver swimming with the animals in the Revillagigedo Islands shows their delirious reaction when befriended by human.

Their underwater interaction is incredibly touching, but it also offers an important message: Love animals and don’t litter. Swimming with large, sentient and often predatory animals means we must play by a special set of behavioral and legal rules that most other reef organisms don’t require.

Members of Cetacea, dolphins and whales, have a larger brain to body mass ratio with more folds in their cranial tissues than humans. Much of this extra mass is in the communications center. So while we value our rich languages, these flippers communicate on levels we cannot even comprehend and can do so over enormous distances.

How dolphins and whales communicate information over miles of ocean with clicks and whistles has been the subject of many scientific dissertations. We still have little idea what they’re talking about!

No other animal has the ability or intelligence to impart such a sense of awe as a whale or a dolphin. Even when viewed from the surface, the power of a diving humpback or the intense energy of a dolphin in play can be overwhelming.
