A little bit tricky but these could be Bottle-nosed Dolphins. The largish dorsal fin and the light areas around the face of the left most and right most animal seem to suggest this species. The size of the beak is difficult to make out and this is only a 'best guess'. Whatever the species, it would seem that there is a calf present, second animal from the right next to the middle of the three similar sized ones.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I know that its difficult to judge size/perspective and its a bad photo anyway.
They were a good 20m down and at 100m from the cliffs.
It was a great experience to see them anyway.
Cheers!
Mick
