My wife got this video a few days before Christmas while we were at a beach on Anna Marie Island. A dolphin suddenly appeared in waist deep water approx. 30yds away from my 11yr old son. It is swirling and splashing the water. It suddenly takes off across in front of him, rising up and appearing to look at him. In the distant, on the upper left side, there is a brief glimpse of another fin, but I can't tell if it's another dolphin or "something else" I was told afterwards by my mother that dolphins will put themselves between danger and people, especially if they are near the shore...We didn't know this at the time.

    Yes, that was a marker bouy out there to warn of the shallow water. My son had just been out near it before this happened. The "other fin" appears in the upper left corner only briefly and I've noticed that it is rather hard to see on here VS. our hard copy of this clip. The shakiness of the video doesn't help either. :(

    Thanks
