    wow, what a cool experience! I have swam with dolphins before in Israel but this would be so cool to do too! I also hate when they use baiting tactics. The place I swam with dolphins in israel was a sort of place where the dolphins could come in and hang out but they also had their own choice to leave and go swim out in the red sea where they had to go to feed so I liked that much more than some of the places where you see the animals stuck in enclosures.
