Well i have been called that many different names by different people over the years that most have been forgotten, probally just as well as some where less tasteful. The first few Avatar names i tried to put in where already taken so i used one that a group of Melbourne amatuer fishermen have always called me when they come up to our small coastal town on their annual fishing trips/hollidays.
I started snorkelling at a very early age living conveniantly close to good sheltered Bays as i got older i spent a great deal of time in the water spearing fish, getting Crays and different shellfish each time, as the Visitors came each year they got to know me and quite often relied apon my skills to keep them well fed on seafood, many times they would idle along in their boats following me knowing a few Crays would get shared with them and i didn't mind as some where fairly old and couldn't do it them selves anymore. I was allways made welcome at the caravan park bbqs and their parties, lifetime friendships were forged. They said i spent so much time in the Ocean and swam like a Dolphin and that is why they and their children still refer to me as The Dolphin today.
