JH| Yes, I enjoyed it thoroughly.  In 20+ years of diving, I've 
  | never had the pleasure of diving with dolphins.  I wish I 
  | could say the same about sharks.  
 
I was able to snorkel with them while we were in the Bahamas in April. We'd 
be anchored out on the Bank somewhere & they'd just start coming around. 
Awesome! :) 
 
JH| marine show where they had trained dolphins and small 
  | whales, and I was left with an almost eirie sense of their 
  | obvious intelligence and ability to project their 
  | personality. 
 
I am so convinced of this that I actively boycott these marine "shows". I 
cannot stand the thought of these beautiful INTELLIGENT creatures being 
used to entertain "superior" humans.  Interaction with them in a confined 
water environment for the purposes of furthering scientific & interspecies 
studies I can understand, but not "Marineland".  
 
JH| I felt the same way.  If those critters were more easily 
  | approached, I would never have had to sell diving 
  | lessons.....they would have sold themselves. 
 
I hear ya...
