Our commercial season is now underway with programs booked most weekends until June.

Our new website www.dolphinswimaustralia.com.au is up and running. With our on-line booking hopefully complete in the next week.

The experience is proving a hit, with most participants enjoying the challenge of an open water close encounter with our ‘Common’ dolphin friends. Please note that this is an open water adventure experience. Open water means ‘in the ocean’ and with an ocean swim comes varying conditions, some quite challenging!

Some requirements for all swimmers:

• Ability to breathe through a snorkel and clear the snorkel without the use of your hands if a wave hits you
• Reasonable level of fitness and flexibility
• A sense of adventure
• Able to take direction from the dive master

Now that we have that out of the way. These swims have been absolutely amazing. Our team is building and the press coverage has been nothing short of sensational.

Channel 9 Getaway team are coming along next Tuesday 16th March for their national TV show so pretty soon you’ll be seeing something like this on prime-time.

We are just about ready to announce our research partners for the long term study of the Short Beaked Common Dolphins. We have a collaborative agreement signed with a prominent university who will provide the independent research and monitoring program required by DECCW to ensure our activities cause the dolphins we ineract with no harm. Our greater studies of this little known species will include a comprehensive fin identification study and database and migratory and distribution data that will assist our scientific community and the managers of Port Stephens Marine park the MPA to understand better the common dolphin that live in our waters.
