Once we are away from the shore, the crew/skipper remains in constant contact with observers located on land on the tops of the mountains, whose task is to observe each sign of animal activity and report it to the boat crew.

The crew follows the observers’ directions, hoping to reach one of the groups of dolphins.
When we are fortunate enough to enter a group of dolphins, and when there is permission from the marine biologist – four already ready people with diving masks can simultaneously slip out on two sides of the boat outboard, still holding a short rope attached to the boat. The boat does not stop, but moves to keep up with the dolphins, which makes watching not suitable for everyone. You need to have some strength to hold onto a moving boat and coordination to control the diving mask in fairly fast motion while trying to see as much as possible. Of course, the boat stops if any of the participants has any problems.
The participants rotate; after a couple of minutes of swimming, the first four people return and are replaced by the next four. How much time are we allowed to stay in the water depends on how long dolphins will tolerate our presence and how many swimmers are on board. If there are only a few, we will be able to swim longer. It is not forbidden to use action cameras, on the contrary.
Seeing those magnificent animals underwater was one of the best travel experiences in my life…
Great pictures of these beautiful and peaceful animals. One day I will swim with the dolphins!
