Freedive with dolphins

In every hotel and many restaurants you can find an ad dive with dolphins. Many people dream of touching a dolphin, so take advantage of this opportunity to later be able to tell, and possibly show you how it feels.

Dolphin Pacific office is located a few minutes walking distance from the base of Sam's Tours at Neco Marine. Neco Marine to a very interesting place. Here is a dive shop, bar, outdoor swimming pool, probably also for the guests as well ... free WiFi. Probably the only free internet access in Koror - but this can not be easy to say after a few days in the city.

Reservation pleasure to touch and diving with the dolphins is best made 1-2 days in advance. There are several options - the cheapest consisting in hearing information about dolphins, watching them jumping and touching the fins (30 USD), through snoorkeling the vest on and in direct contact with the dolphins ($ 80 + mandatory 30USD), which is freediving free diving without the cylinder ( $ 100 + $ 30) until a full dive ($ 120 U.S. $ 30)

The most sensible seems to freediving. First, the boat takes passengers from Neco Marine. "Played" is a scene of farewell to the boat leaving the sea, or an employee of Dolphin Pacifics is waving on the pier until the ship disappears below the horizon - it is probably mainly an attraction for the Japanese, who dominate here as customers. Transportation takes less than 10 minutes. Then listen to "lectures" about the origin of life and dolphins. There are 7 dolphins, of which two "babies". Older are about 14 years. They are "imported" from Japan. It's a different species than those which can be seen in the sea (Spinners). They are bigger and less "aggressive." It is easier to train them.
They eat about 16 kg of fish per day, but they are hungry - probably also an element of education. Sometimes przegryzają grid and flow into the sea, but quickly come back into the sea because they have no adequate food - the fish are too hard and have bones. These dolphins eat fish imported from Canada - with the large warehouse or similar type of macro. do przełyku” delfina i wyjąć liść Podczas wizyty delfiny przynosiły liście iw zamian dostawały zimne ryby prosto z lodu. C zasami "zg ice" Dolphins are trying to eat leaves - but it's quite dangerous for them, and then the coach must, as is said, "put his hand deep into the esophagus" dolphin and remove the leaf during the visit brought the list of dolphins and instead comes in cold fish straight from the ice.

The major can also find out that the dolphin's skin regenerates itself every 2 hours.

After hearing the talks comes time for the first attraction, the mandatory $ 30 - Close Encounter. To show the skills of dolphins. Group 4 people - customers - is becoming next to each other and follow the instructions of a trainer. Dolphin jumps or gives fins depending on the gesture shown. You can then purchase a picture with a dolphin - but rather an option for people who do not plan subsequent activities. Custom camera should be left in the glove compartment. Also, do not have any chain letters or dive computer, because dolphins can react.

If the goal is just to check how it feels to touch a dolphin, this appointment may be terminated.

If you purchased an additional package, depending on what you listen briefing and demonstration on how to and how not to dive. Dolphins are sensitive to sudden movements and hitting the flippers in the water. Therefore, when freediving fins should not be used on the surface. Only after immersing the whole body can use the fins - the instructor explained it very well, including the demonstration. In addition, practicing with people who did not attempt such a dive to the entrance to the pool with the dolphins there were no problems.

Is the most awaited moment. With four people in the water and three large dolphins (each about 2.5 meters), getting a bit crowded. Additionally, you should just dive between the bridge on which they stand trainers and trainer in the water, so we have a square with sides of about 5 meters. Dolphins react quite correctly. Just take the plunge to 2 meters draw the hand and they dive for us and touch the nose of an open hand. Then, even a minute and slowly plunged ascent. The first time, unfortunately, does not go perfectly. Coach speak Japanese due to the two Japanese tourists (she is also Japanese.) Dolphins submerge and emerge next. You can, of course, even a hug. At times, however, the piston is large and you wonder if the dolphin does not strike a fin in the wrong direction. A trainer also demonstrates how to control the dolphins. On her gestures dolphins plunge with her and then sailed side by side pulled her up and down. The pool is about 5-6 meters deep. Diving takes about 15 minutes.
Unforgettable impression, although with a smaller number of people expected more. It should also be remembered that the water in a place where dolphins are not as transparent as the dive sites. We do not know what is the cause, but it is green and the visibility is about 2-3 meters, which is far from what you see in other places, which is 15-20 meters.

At the end you learn that Doplhins Pacific is a non-profit organization. It was founded by the daughter of co-founder of Sony. I do not know how it really is, but at a price of $ 130 per person for 2 hour visit looks like a rather expensive event. The same amount of free days diving with two dives and a good lunch.
