Footage of a dolphin “protecting” a pair of divers from a shark circling nearby has gone viral—reinforcing the amazing connection that can form between humans and these remarkable marine mammals.
Diver Kayleigh Grant of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, was diving a couple of miles off the coast on Oct. 21, 2020, when she found herself in the company of a friendly rough-toothed dolphin. But as a shark drew near, the dolphin started swimming circles around her and her diving companion.
