” A breakthrough in Dolphin / Human interaction”

We did it!!!!

We are proud to announce that over six years of development and three years since the first application was lodged, Dolphin Swim Australia P/L, Imagine Cruises Port Stephens and DolphCom Solutions (yours truly) have succeeded :)

On the 11.01.10 Dolphin Swim Australia P/L was granted the first commercial license to swim with dolphins EVER issued in the state of New South Wales…. How cool is that?

The Aquatic Marine Viewing Experience (AMVE) is a breakthrough in dolphin / human interaction. Using specific approach techniques and relying on the dolphins amazing intelligence and inherent interest in the human animal, we now are able to share with YOU an open water, in-water dolphin experience daily (on demand), right here in the Blue Water Wonderland of Port Stephens marine park NSW Australia.

Be the first to join us on our special series of trials.

Become a dolphin researcher for the day, as we commence the most comprehensive migratory and distribution study of the “common” dolphin ever held and begin to understand the wonderful Dephinus delphi (the common dolphin).
