dolphin Facts
~ Wild dolphins do not tend to approach human swimmers or divers, some of
the more friendly wild dolphins do but in general they keep a certain distance
but may swim around you or encircle you to take a closer look
~ even the strongest human swimmer cannot approach a healthy wild living
dolphin unobserved , ~ the wild dolphin is capable of far greater speeds
than the human
~ so as long as respect for the wild dolphins is given at all times the
encounter can be beneficial to both human and dolphin
~ it is the choice of the wild dolphin to move away from the encounter if
he chooses too, so when the dolphins stay in your vacinity and are expressing
a natural curiosity it is thought to be a mutual respectful human/dolphin
experience
( problems can occur through irresponsible behaviour of speedboat drivers
that , when in a group, crowd wild dolphins when tryng to get near them
)
Bottlenose Dolphin Behavior
~ If the dolphin stops still and lies motionless on her back or when a wild
dolphin faces a swimmer head on it might be an invitation to have his or
her tummy rub , especially if this bottlenose dolphin is used to human contact
~ while the person rubs the bottlenose dolphins tummy make sure other swimmers
give the necessary respect for this dolphin encounter one on one to occur
and not all jump in aand destroy the special moment
~ this is such a moment of trust between 2 different species , it is to
treasure
~ bottlenose dolphin behavior in captivity is entirely different as these
animals have been raised with human contact and may respond differently
than what ther natural dolphin behavior and instinct indicates in the wild

Our Swimming With Dolphins Adventure
wild dolphin behavior respected and shared
|
~ When Maya and
I went swimming with dolphins it was amazing to see them simply enjoying
the company of the humans, even with several boats present they seemed to
play a chasing game at times
~ children and dolphins have always had a special relationship, and the
wild dolphins behavior seems to be seeking out kids and indeed pregnant
mothers to get a close connection
~ Underwater I could
see true wild dolphin behavior ,
a mother and baby dolphin happily playing together as they
were surrounding me in a group - it was magical, peaceful as I hang perfectly
still in the water
~ If you are planning a family vacation swimming with dolphins (delfine)
all we can see, prepare, research and then get ready to enjoy mother earths
beauty
~ Maya loved the dolphin sound , it can be hear underwater
for very long distances and listening to it is like listening to a song,
we loved singing back to them ~ wellI guess more humming through the snorkel
but still - beautiful
