With your snorkel gear on, we can get you in the water quickly without causing any splashing or disruptions. This is often what scares the dolphins away. Your knowledgeable captain will guide you in how to interact best with the dolphins. This includes swimming parallel to the dolphins and not swimming towards them or reaching for them.
