They are trialing a pole deployed spirometer (measures exhalation flow rate) and there were dolphins around so they took the opportunity to paddle with them.

Scientific technician Luis Lamar from the WHOI Advanced Imaging and Visualization Lab and assistant professor of biology at Texas A&M University Corpus Christie Andreas Fahlman paddle with a pod of dusky dolphins off the coast of the Kaikoura Peninsula on New Zealands South Island. The two were part of a research team that spent three weeks in February and March 2013 pursuing one of the oceans most iconic yet elusive species: the sperm whale. The team captured sound, depth, and photo identification data on 15 individual sperm whales. This research was performed under New Zealand Department of Conservation Permit number 35604-MAR.
