Dolphin puts on a show by making a series of jumps out of the water

A diver in the Bahamas captured this incredible close encounter with a dolphin leaping in and out of the water.

Experienced diver Bartolomeo Bove captured the footage of Atlantic spotted dolphins in 2015 in turquoise-green waters off the coast of tiny Bimini.

With his camera, Bove tracks a dolphin as it heads towards the surface then follows it as it leaps out of the water.

At one point in the video, Bove is so close the leaping dolphin's tail splashes his camera.

Writes Bove: "One of the dolphins starts jumping out of the water and it looks like it is having good fun."
