Don't forget Shep! A little collie in fins is essential for herding dolphins. One of the most enjoyable experiences of my life was swimming with a huge pod of dolphins in Plettenberg Bay (Keurboomstrand, specifically) in SAfrica. Every day more than 100 of them came round several times apparently just to surf. From the houses we rented we could see them coming, so we went down into the water and waited, and swam among them in the surf for 10-20 minutes or so. Fantastic experience.
