Queen Jill Swims with Dolphins

February 18, 2008            Cozumel, Mexico

I went on an eight-day cruise to three ports in the Western Carribean.   I had always wanted to "swim with dolphins" but never thought I would.  When I checked out the shore excursions in Cozumel, Mexico and saw the opportunity to actually swim with the dolphins, I knew my dream was going to come true.

I had such a great time!

  • (Photos #1 & #2.)   I was told by the handlers to put my hands together in a certain way, and that a dolphin would come up and kiss me.  AND HE DID !!!

  • (Photo #3.)   Then I swam out a little way and was told to hold my arms out and a dolphin would come up and lay in my arms.

  • (Photo #4.)  Then they had me swim out a bit more and put my hands in a certain position, and a dolphin would appear on his back and I would hold onto his fins, and he would carry me back to the starting point.   And, oh, boy, was he ever fast!   It was scarry and fun all at once.
