Man has had a never ending interest in these mammals that swim the ocean. They are intelligent and friendly. More important they are friendly to humans. There are many people that won't go swimming in the ocean unless they see dolphins. They think they are safer in the water as the belief is that these creatures will chase sharks away.
Getting to know dolphins is an experience everyone should have a chance to do. Yes, it is a little expensive, but so well worth it.
If you can do it you should take a swim with the dolphins.
Their skin is so smooth you won't believe it. They have sharp teeth but won't bite you. These creatures are powerful residents of the ocean.
I have swam with the dolphins. The dolphin that I swam with was pregnant. The trainer would give it the hand signal to roll over so everyone could rub its belly. About 10 minutes after moving on to another part of swimming with them, the pregnant dolphin kept coming over to everyone and rolling over to have its belly rubbed. It must have really enjoyed it.
The dolphins also gave you a kiss. They would put their snouts (as I call them) up to your cheek.
Looking at the dolphins skin there are all kinds of scratches on it. I asked what all those marks are from. The dolphins like to play with each other. Sometimes they get mad at each other and actually bite leaving the marks on their skin.
At the end of the hour, you were pushed by your feet by two dolphins. I couldn't believe how fast they can make you go.
After swimming with the dolphins it is so sad to see that some are caught in fishing nets and killed by accident. They are amazing creatures. If you have a chance to swim with them, do it! It is worth every penny and is a once in a lifetime experience.
