Port Stephens Dolphin Swim -Dolphins everywhere!

Posted by Andrew on October 18th, 2008 filed in Dolphins, Port Stephens, Uncategorized

The trademark swim with dolphins program AMVE (Aquatic marine viewing experience) had another successful morning at Port Stephens.

Saturday 19.10.08 6:15am

After our briefing about the beautiful marine park environment and safety aspects of our swimming with dolphins experience our excited team were greeted by several hundred pacific common dolphins within 1500 metres of the entrance to Port Stephens.

Observing our catamaran enroute the pod immediately raced to our bows, criss-crossing and rolling as they looked up at our very excited faces. Captain Frank Future pulled up and allowed the dolphins to move away to the mandatory distances. They knew something was up because as soon as we hit the water there were dolphins swimming all around us.

Our vessel, a large cat has two bows and dozens of dolphins took turns coming over to us, rolling on their sides and filling our ears with their high pitched ultra-sonic communications. Today there were three to four main pods of many hundreds of dolphins swimming and fishing in the clear waters. One family group came in time and again, we were able to identify this group by one females distinct dorsal fin that had a sizable piece missing.

Our people all had three to four sessions on the bow rope, gliding in and with the pods. Smiles and laughter filled the air. Aquatic marine viewing experience BOOK NOW or follow this link to reserve your place.

    To Andrew and the crew at dolphcom.Thank you all so much for the amazing opportunity of being able to swim so easily and freely with the large pods of dolphins that joined us on Saturday.I believe the dolphins are here on this earth to assist us to heal and i felt that everyone who experienced our swim received some sort of healing. I feel so different today there is just a lightness and sense of peace within me and all around me.I feIt the unconditional love that the dolphins have for us.And i feel they are a part of me and i am a part of them. I feel happiness and joy bubbling out of me every time i think about my experience. I know i am going to be a regular because i cant wait to get back out there.Hope to see you all again soon .
    Thanks again
    Love Karen
