- A Very Unique Dolphin Swim Experience
Experience the only dive in the Bahamas that allows you to scuba dive with trained dolphins. On your next visit to Grand Bahama Island, you will not want to miss an exhilarating personal interaction with these intelligent creatures.
With the spectacular vistas under the surface of the Caribbean serving as a setting, you will frolic with these jovial clowns of the sea. Our trained dolphins will follow the customized dive boat to a pristine location adjacent to a spectacular underwater reef. After brief instruction on the cruise out to the diving location, our professional trainers will tutor you on the utilization of hand signals in communicating with the dolphins.
Once in the water, you can use these gestures to request tricks from these brainy aquatic mammals. Hide an object in the sandy sea floor, and a dolphin will actually retrieve it for you. Hold out your hand and a dolphin will push your palm with its nose to give you an underwater spin. This truly memorable encounter with the dolphins will be the highlight of your vacation to this tropical paradise. Not only is this tour unique in the Bahamas, but a rare opportunity on any vacation.
You'll never forget interacting with the dolphins in their natural undersea habitat. The speed and agility of these creatures will take your breath away. Throughout maritime history, tales of people interacting with these remarkable marine mammals have become the tales of lore. In times of distress, people have been aided by dolphins, who guided swimmers to refuge and sailors to safe harbors. Witness how personable and smart the dolphins really are the next time you visit Freeport Bahamas.
