WOW! fantastic shots.. are they scrape marks on the dolphins?? from boats??:clapHere's the answer from the books

Adult Risso's dolphins are usually dark gray with extensive white scarring. The scars can be scratches, splotches, or circular marks and, in some animals, can be so extensive that the entire body appears to be white. This scarring may come from bites from other Risso's dolphins, squid bites, or parasites. As calves, their bodies are a uniform light gray, which then darkens to a brownish-gray in juveniles.

PS The one with no scarring is a baby, there were many young Rissos in the pod swimming with their mothers

Great shots! Can you elaborate a little on the seals? Are they playing in the boats wake, or trying to escape finatical camera men?
