Dolphins in the Bahamas
Ranked #2,597 in Pets & Animals, #66,451 overall
Human Encounters in the Bahamas Written by James the Dolphin on Porpoise
As a socially well adjusted Dolphin, I find diving with humans is a popular tourist attraction when in Bahamas. We need to swim a fair distance to get there so it needs to be worthwhile or the kids get bored and bunt chubby people butt for amusement.
Although human encounter is also popular in other places, Bahamas is considered as the center of this exhilarating experience. The Bahamas also offers different opportunities to dive and swim along side with not just humans, but with other more edible marine animals as well.
Have you ever been to the Bahamas?
This is one beautiful place we swim to

Dolphins and Humans
We are truly connected - just read about it
Here are some of our encounters with humans
Exercise a bit of caution
Not all of us dolphins particularly like to banter with humans. Sometimes, we get irritated, too. We like to go together as a dolphin family and we feed together as a clan. Just like you humans, some of our species become irritable when humans handle them.

Bimini Island, Great Bahama Bank
First dolphin stop
First stop for a dolphin/human encounter is the Bimini Island, which is situated on the Great Bahama Bank. With Bimini Undersea, you will experience swimming with wild dolphins and us with fairly passive humans. We put on our best crazy grins to look wild. But most of the time, it's Bill and Marion in the mornings with Trevor and Jane taking over after lunch.
Last year, Danny was able to get his head into an old shark skeleton jaw and did we have some fun! However, human encounter is not a guarantee since these creatures get grumpy if the water is a tad chill or they panic if we put a shark fin on our backs and swoop past them. A guy named Gary Larsen caught their looks of total seizure perfectly in his cartoons years ago. Thank heavens for waterproof Kindles!
And sometimes we get a bit tired or they give us bad fish bits, so we stay in hiding. Still, Bimini Undersea ranks high in Wild Dolphin/Human Excursion's at 80 percent as ranked by both sides. A neat thing here is that the bigger the stomach hang down of the one piece cover humans, the smaller the one piece. George thought he heard the word Quebec mumbled but who knows.
Other encounters with wild dolphins
Swimming with Dolphins
In Bahamas, the Bottom Time II live-aboard dive boat will let humans experience the joy of snorkeling and at the same time, swimming with dolphins at White Sand Bridge, off the Grand Bahama Island on the Little Bahama Bank. Make sure the mate phones ahead so a few of us can get there on time. Our bathroom habits tend to be spontaneous so be prepared. Give some decent food assurances and we'll send out a pod of the teenagers to make the words "Wild Dolphin" look like the understatement of the decade. We're talkin' face hardware and tattoos that are mind benders!

Snorkeling with dolphins
Around the waters of Orange Cay
Here is your snorkeling invitation
Come and snorkel with us in the Bahamas
To see well your dolphin friends
Equip yourself well for your snorkeling
Swim with us, your dolphin friends
Some lensmasters have done it
Let's see how many of you have swam with us
Let us know
Opportunities are out there to swim with dolphins. I had a rare opportuity in Maldives and it just happened. I was wondering what big creature was swimming with me. When I went back people were saying there were dolphins. Only then did I realize I was swimming with one.
Truly unique and priceless
The Dolphin-Human Encounter
The Dolphin/Human encounter is a truly unique and priceless experience. They pay, we play. Doing IQ tests on animals like this is a real waste of time so we dolphins just relax and smile. The gathering will give you both sides a sense of shared knowledge with their opposite number. You will truly appreciate how dolphins behave in their natural habitat and how humans behave when massively hung over or in total panic. Swimming along with humans with just the occasional bunt for effect, will teach us that in this life, we have to live alongside with other animals. They are an important part of our existence and should be cared for accordingly. Soon we may have to leave if the doofuses foul up the Oceans anymore and we may need to take all this information with us so "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
Have you swam with with us, dolphins?
The dolphin community wants some feedback
We wish you had fun.

The Dolphin Experience at Lucaya
The Underwater Explorer Society
The Dolphin Experience at Lucaya on the Grand Bahama offers four programs which include open water dolphin dive in conjunction with UNEXSO, the Underwater Explorer Society. I love these guys. They go gaga at finding leftovers we ate a 100 years ago. Here, you are sure to meet one of us since the diver and snorkelers are in a controlled environment for a meet and greet session.
The UNEXSO's Dolphin Dive program allows two dolphins to join ten scuba divers at maximum for an open ocean release. This exhilarating experience will give each divers close encounter with dolphins since the dolphins swim around them. Frankly, speaking as a dolphin, I am not too keen on this one but hey, we got tarty dolphins that will do ANYTHING for a few fish and we have names for them too!
The Dolphin Close Encounter Program
The Dolphin Swim Program
The Dolphin Close Encounter program offers anyone a chance to interact with dolphins from the submerged platform even for non-swimmers if they can stand the morality of these sell-outs. The Dolphin Swim program on the other hand gives snorkelers opportunities to swim along with the dolphins in the protected areas of water of Sanctuary Bay and these scungies have even agreed not to do their shark imitations although watching humans do the water walk is about as good as sport gets.

The Dolphin Assistant Trainer Program
Reserve and book in advance
The fourth program, which is the in-depth Dolphin Assistant Trainer program, educates individuals on the importance of humans and the proper care they deserve out of their element. We have also seen the human leaders trying to explain us to the humans. Hahahahaha. For their part, the program is limited to four participants only, who must be 16 years old and above. As we are massively more intelligent, we accept 3 year olds and need about 10 minutes to cover the entire repertoire of human behavior and thinking. The Dolphin Experience programs, including the UNEXSO Dolphin Dive, require a reservation, and have to be booked in advance since they are extremely popular to both human and dolphin tourists.
