Also, please remove jewelry. DRC does not have lockers available. The program includes an walking tour of the facility where an interpretive guide will introduce you to all the members of the DRC pod. The tour allows you to learn about the history of DRC, the background of the dolphins and sea lions and information about marine mammals in general. You will also see training and research sessions in progress.
Every tour is unique and participants are encouraged to ask questions.
The program also includes a conservation seminar to learn about wild marine mammals and what things you can do to save the environment we all share. During your educational seminar, you will see videos of previous swim sessions and learn the appropriate behaviors and protocol to use with the dolphins. Then you'll be ready to enter the realm of the dolphins. Our swims take place in the natural salt water lagoons of the Gulf of Mexico. Most lagoons are quite deep and waterski type flotation devices are available if required.
