Particularly if you'd like to be attacked and eaten by one.

 

Excoooooooose me. Please leave elephants out of this nasty discussion. I'm an elephant hugger.

 

We did the swim with dolphins thing down in mexico.
Mind you it was practically a license to print money.
they sell you the video, the pictures the T-shirts etc etc etc....
i.e.

One of the stunts is two dolphins swim up behind you as you lay horizontal face down in the water.
Each dolphin puts his nose in the sole of your foot and swims forward.

so I present to you
aquaman.... ( blaring horns in the background)

and yes they thrust you right out of the water.
they could lift 230 pounds out of the water easily.

and when you weigh only 90 pounds ...
yeee-hah


funny part was they yelled at him for doing it, as if he had much choice.


one thing that stood out in my mind was how hard their nose was, it was like a ball peen hammer slammed into the sole of your foot.

 

Back in the early 90's my wife and I went to Club Med Turks and Caicos. At that time, there was a young male dolphin that hung out at the club. His name was Jo-Jo.

I was taking scuba lessons at the club and I remember several of us in a circle in about 10 feet of water. One of the students was a rather shapely young woman who like to wear skimpy bikinis. Jo-jo got quite excited. We were sitting on the bottom, and Jo-Jo kept trying to stick his snout under this womans bottom, and kept trying to rub his rather substantial member on her. The instructor finally escorted her to shore and she did the rest of the lesson in the swimming pool. She was right next to me in the circle so I got a birds eye view of the shenanigans.

At one point, she tried to scoot over closer to me to get away from Jo-Jo. He ended up swimming between us. Actually more like forcing his way between us. I didn't get attacked or anything that I would call an aggressive move, but I did get jostled around pretty good

I think I might still have some pics of Jo-Jo in about 12 inches of water right up against the beach. He would let people come up and pet him and would roll over and let people rub his belly.

He would follow the scuba boats out and hang out with the scuba divers. So I got my swim with the dolphin experience and didn't have to pay any extra - no T-shirts, or videos.
