My recent interaction with Belugas!!!

I wanted to share my recent experience at Sea World in San Antonio, Texas. Did you know that they have interaction programs where you get to go behind the scenes and actually get in the water and interact with the Beluga Whales? Well I recently found out and I have to tell you that it was by far the funnest thing I have ever done. Now some of you may be thinking yeah but that's for kids. I here to tell you that at almost 26 I enjoyed it probably tens times as much as the 15yr old girl that was there with me. They take 5 people at a time and you can take along your friends or family to watch as well. My mom and dad went with me and shared in the experience as well as taking pictures for proof of my encounter. However if you don't have any one to go with you that's ok because they have a professional photographer there as well.

You start off by going into a classroom backstage and learning about the belugas and meeting the trainers. You get a short course on the do's and don'ts and your off to change into a wetsuit. Once suited up it's off to the pool. I would suggest saving this for the summer though, because the water is kept around 50 degrees for belugas. So while it was in the upper 70's the water was still freezing!!! You step onto the stage area as they call where the water is about 3 ft. deep and you begin learning how to tell the whales what you want them to do. I got to do about eighteen different commands with 3 different belugas, well four if you count ones 18 month old son who stayed right by her side.

Of course I got to feed them fish and give them back, fin, head, and tail massages as a reward for doing what I asked of them. Then you get to actually float on your back with them while holding on to their fin and you float on your stomach with them while holding on to head. You finish up with the photographer and get your pictures of shaking fins, waving bye, getting a hug and kiss, and just posing next to a 2200 lb. whale.

After the excitement is over they provide you with a shower to get cleaned up and time to answer any further questions you might have. I would strongly recommend this to everyone it was so awesome!!! I am so glad to have started my own business so I had the time to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opprotunity. To find out more about my business go to easiestbusinessinabox.com
