Excerpt From RYOT News
Leaving the marina, we sailed past deserted private islands, untouched reefs and amazing shallow wrecks to find the resident pod. We found them – at least 50 of them – about five miles north of the island playing in shallow water, about 30 feet deep. As we approached, they curiously swam towards us, played in the wake of our boat, and several of them swam off the front of the bow.
Once we knew it was safe, we donned our masks and fins and jumped into the water. While swimming, immersed in the pod, curious youngsters would swim alongside protective elders with their excited pink bellies to check us out. It was evident that wild dolphins are free to make their own choices about when and where to interact.
There was no fear. No aggression. Only a mutual curiosity. At one point, I was able to dive down towards the sea floor and found myself embraced in a swirl of Spotted Dolphins. On my way up to the surface, several made eye to eye contact with me.
Scientists at Emory University performed brain scans on dolphin species and found that the cerebral cortex and the neocortex of bottlenose dolphins were so large that dolphins’ cognitive capacity is second only to humans.
Friends who had swimming with wild dolphins in the sea told me it is the most magical experience he ever had! Now Swimming With Wild Dolphin VR 360 video is enabling us to experience how it feels like swimming with these friendly and playful dolphins immersively!
