Dolphin Diving is a tactic formerly used in Battlefield 2, which involved the player going prone while still in midair due to a jump. You could jump mid air, go flat firing (with added accuracy due to being prone), leaving very little for your opponent to shoot at. This was repeated over and over again so that the player could keep moving at a reasonable speed while still only showing their head to their opponent as they would when going prone normally. As a result of pressure from the community, the version 1.21 patch removed the ability to dolphin dive from the game.

Diving (proning in mid-jump) remains in certain games, but not to the extent seen in Dolphin Diving. Additional animations between going prone and being able to jump again prevent this scenario from occurring, as do accuracy penalties from entering prone.

Battlefield 3Edit

This tactic was the inspiration for a dog tag added in the Back to Karkand expansion pack for Battlefield 3.

Until the March 30 2012 patch, BF3 players were able to "super crawl" by proning during forward movement (not sprinting) and pressing the Prone key again, diving and getting back up without loss of forward momentum.^[1]
