Actually, Its would think it more likely they would be known as the C-Team!

In 1972 a crack dolphin commando unit was sent to Sea World by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.

These mammals promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underwater.
Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as dolphins of fortune.

If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find them - maybe you can hire... The D-Team.

Explosive decompression accidents are rare, but when they do happen, they are very very nasty.

e3m4n writes "The fictitious 'good samaritan' law from the final episode of Seinfeld (the one that landed them in jail for a year) appears to be headed toward reality for California residents after the house passed this bill. There are some differences, such as direct action is not required, but the concept of guilt by association for not doing the right thing is still on the face of the bill."
