Transcript of Dolphin video captured off San Diego coast goes viral

A whale watching has been posting videos of their recent encounters which have generated millions of views. They include sharks as well as dolphins leaping out of the air right next to their boat. When these things are going higher than the wheelhouse, it's spectacular. Erica Saker was the photographer aboard a recent gall whale watching tour when this hot of bottle nose dolphins caught her right as well as everyone else is on board. You could just see them jumping like 20 ft in the air and every on the boat just started pointing and I'm like, what is everybody looking at almost feels like they were doing like Olympic style jumps like they were just all trying to be like Simone Biles and just touch the sky and come down. It was awesome. Erica's videos are often posted on gone. Well, watching Instagram page in just one week, this one has already generated over 7 million views on the day it was taken. She says the boat encounter huge pods every couple of miles right off the coast of mission bay gone. Well, watching founder Dominic B. Aini says there a couple of reasons for that for starters there's an abundance of food and anchovies are really, really popular food source and especially for the common dolphins. But we've also been seeing bottlenose dolphins in bigger numbers. And the bottle nose dolphins are the ones that you see in those spectacular videos leaping into the air. And oftentimes when we see bottle nosed dolphins here in numbers like that, it's because there's a lot of squid in San Diego waters. So most likely we have an influx of squid right now in a day to dolphins. Dominick says he's been seeing a lot of sharks too. He credits the sunny skies and smoother water which make visibility much better. He captured this video of a great white just a few days ago saying it's only the second time he's seen one far away from the shore line. I see them all the time in coastal waters, but it's very rare to actually spot a great white offshore because of the prime conditions and increase in sightings. Dominick has added so called Great White shark trips to his tourist. He warns if other boaters plan to do the same depending on where you are, use extra caution by going slowly and lifting your engines up if possible. When you're in our very, very shallow coastal waters here, it's really crucial to keep your speed down because you don't know what might be just beneath the surface. Dominick says doing so will not only increase your chances of seeing something spectacular, but also keep whatever it is safe from harm, Shana handy CBS eight.
