Representatives of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla went cruising with dolphins in the early morning of Oct. 17 and captured video of them gliding through bioluminescent waters near Scripps Pier.
UCSD photographer Erik Jepsen shot the footage while Scripps Oceanography diving locker supervisor Rich Walsh drove their boat.
