Dolphins are shown being part of tourist attraction. They're not depicted as unhappy (except in a later scene when a new dolphin doesn't get along with the others and is then released) but I think it can be perceived as such?

Big spoiler. It depends on whether it's the American ending or not. At the end, in the American ending, he comes back up with the dolphin. In the French one, he doesn't, and it's implied that he choses to die in the deep. This is foreshadowed by his talk with Johanna on the phone, when he mentions his wish to stay in the deep.
Enzo's death in the diving competition could also be interpreted as a suicide, since he was told it would kill him and chose to dive anyway.

Even for the American ending, there's an important death close to the end of the movie.
For the initial ending, a solid yes.

There's a line mentionning dolphins being upset and refusing to eat. They're later shown to have gone back to their happy selves.

Not in such words, but between the phone call (between Johanna and Jacques) and the scene before Enzo's final dive, similar feelings are expressed, which is why I chose to be safe and vote Yes.

Not really, but the characters are obsessed with an extremely dangerous activity and they practice it recklessly.

A Japanese diver panics, hyperventilates and faints before diving. It is framed in a humorous manner.

At the beginning of the adult's story, a diver rescues another who got stuck in a shipwreck.
Also, if deep water diving counts, multiple Yes.
