After seven incredible weeks, the final episode of Blue Planet II airs tonight on BBC One at 8pm.
Over the past few weeks we've seen some incredible creatures; from the bird eating trevally to penguins going through a catastrophic moult in the south Atlantic.
As the series comes to a close, we've gathered eight of your incredible pictures of these beautiful cetaceans.
James West captured this brilliant diving dolphin whilst on a boat trip near the Cairns of Cull.
Susan and Peter Wilson captured this hungry dolphin at Chanonry Point, Scotland. An adult dolphin will eat from 10 - 22.5 kilograms of fish per day.
Michael Rich captured this pod of bottlenose dolphins from the beach at Chanonry Point, Scotland. Typically, dolphins will form pods with up to a dozen others at a time and will usually congregate with many more if in an area with a particular abundance of food.
Ben Porter captured this common dolphin around the Falmouth coastline.
Al captured these playful dolphins in Scotland. Dolphins can spend hours jumping out of the water, following the bow of a ship and blowing bubbles playfully.
John Russell captured this dolphin flipping at Chanonry Point in the Scottish Highlands. Dolphins can regularly be seen flipping or 'breaching' and can launch themselves up to five metres out of the water.
Gary Vause capture this mother and calf at Moray Firth, Scotland. Female dolphins give birth to live young which can swim from the moment they are born. A juvenile dolphin, or a calf, is dependant on the mother's milk for two years after birth.
