Olympic star Daley meets dolphins

Daley comes face to face with one of Sea World's dolphins

Plymouth's 14-year-old Olympic diver Tom Daley has been testing himself against dolphins at a theme park in the United States.

Daley was a guest of SeaWorld in Orlando and dived in front of a large crowd at their dolphin arena.

"It certainly was a very different experience from diving in Beijing but just as exciting," Daley said.

The teenager got to meet the park's animals and dive from the top of one of their platforms into the dolphin pool.

Daley finished seventh in the 10m platform final at the Beijing Olympics in August and won a silver at the world junior championships last month.
