Freediving on the West Coast of Ireland with my dolphin friend.

This is a really interesting wildlife interaction. Dr. Dolphin notices that one of the diver's fins is different and focuses its attention on that through echolocation.

Watching him swim through the jellyfish is giving me Sphere vibes.

Living near the coast I've gone snorkeling a lot and I've never liked that, swimming through clouds of jellyfish, capable of stinging or no.

I'd appreciate the novelty of doing it once with entirely safe ones, but I'd hate to lose that much visibility in open ocean.
