I love dolphins, they are fantastic animals. But i doubt they could shed light on whats at the bottom of our oceans as they tend to live in shallow seas....and can only dive about 650ft.
Would be cool if we could talk to them though, im sure there are plenty of other things they can bring us up to speed with

But anyone hoping that cracking the dolphin communications is going to lead to deep conversations is going to be very disappointed. Their language is going to be limited to a couple of dozen things like "I'm hungry" and "I just went poo".

But what about comprehension , they could have quite a wide vocabulary but if they cant comprehend the fact that we live on a rock in space surrounded by other rocks with living creatures living upon them then that's the end of the conversation .
