Welsh_red 4,843 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Swimming with dolphins wouldn't really be on my bucket list . Not something I really fancied doing . Bit this looks awesome 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,399 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Eh up Welsh. Being a former diving instructor, we were able to do most things including diving with dolphins. Awesome just isn't explaining it. However, if I'm allowed to go a step further on your thread, diving with , and in the company of rays , must be one of the greatest of all my diving experiences. The great miss in my experience was not diving with the great whales. It truly is another world down there. Jok. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robertb123 372 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Wasn't on mine until I was staying in Clare early 90's. we saw some dolphins in the bay, so rushed to the beach and grabbed some surfboards and paddled out, they were quite far out and a group of 3 with a young one came up to us only a few feet away. they stayed for about 20 minutes, what a buzz! The adults were massive, I was really surprised that wild animals with young would come so close. We were on a massive high all night after that (and it wasn't the guiness!). My mate who ii was staying with had a picture of his brother being towed by a pilot whale in dingle bay! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,399 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Strangely Max, the last time I had dolphin company was not far from you, the Farne Islands. Also, diving with the seals there was quite spectacular . The blighters would nip our fins and generally make a pest of themselves. Brilliant. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
