In 2023, marine biologist and filmmaker Sarah K. spent three days drifting off the coast of Bimini. On day two, a female Atlantic spotted dolphin she named "Patch" (for the notch in her dorsal fin) approached her GoPro. The resulting 7-minute clip—unedited, 4K, with natural sound—showed Patch inspecting the camera lens, swimming upside down beneath Sarah, and eventually calling two calves over.
