There are dolphins all over california. You can do it yourself or pay someone to take you out. Warm water might be more fun though.

Roatan? You mention Anthony's Key, but there is often a wild pod that frequents the South shore area near First Bight & Iron Shore, a bit East of CoCoView. They are a fairly common sight and the boat captains will drop you in their path.
You do mention "diving" with them. Most of the wild critters I have seen aren't too fond of bubbles or submerged divers. They seem to be quite attracted to shallow and surface swimming snorkelers.
Once when we visited the Brac we spent several days diving with a single dolphin.
Once while diving in between the Brac and Little Cayman we had a pod follow us. Once when we were diving in Kimbe Bay PNG a pod stayed with us for awhile.
