    What a great capture Sean! I too have had the pleasure and thrill of swimming with the dolphins. Something I will truly cherish. I actually was able to do more than the average tourist as I am an extremely strong swimmer and the instructors were every liberal with me! They are very friendly and strong! I was pulled, carried and pushed out of the water by mine which was very cool.
