Dolphin gets stressed about my broken fin (www.youtube.com)

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.

Very cool. In my (limited) experience freediving gets you way more cool wildlife interactions like this than scuba. My theory is that you seem more like a fellow animal rather than some scary mechanoid. Never had dolphins come round, but had harbour seals hang out and play with me, very cool experience.
