Chin Visible
The whale with the chin visible is T041A3 (identified by eye patch and the pod traveling together). T041A3 was born in 2018 making this a 5 year old orca.
Species: Orcinus orca (killer whale, orca)

Large Eye Patch Out Of Water
This whale is T041A - born in 1988. The two notches in the fin were distinct enough that I could then match the saddle patch.
Species: Orcinus orca (killer whale, orca)

Chinese Dolphin With Bridge Construction Behind
First a new island for an airport, then a bridge linking Hong Kong with Macau, I can't imagine the environment for these dolphins is easy.
Species: Sousa chinensis (Chinese white dolphin, Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin)

Chinese Dolphins Near Tai O
This boat ride highlighted the problems with my technique. The boat had safety railings all the way around and the whales came up on the opposite side from me so I often got them in my shot. The whales surface quickly and sink - you loose half your time just trying to find them and focus. My camera isn't super fast (ISO or frame rate) so I didn't get much.
Considering the boat trip is only a few dollars (but doesn't last more than 15 minutes), you get what you pay for.
Species: Sousa chinensis (Chinese white dolphin, Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin)

Pod of Female Orcas

I like this shot because the two lead Orcas are blowing and you can see the drops
spattering on the surface.

Species: Orcinus orca (killer whale, orca)
