Thank you for presenting on this topic! I did a dolphin tour in Bimini lady last year with Neal Watson. When we found a group, we waited to see their reaction and how they felt about us being there. Sometimes they were not interested. Other times they eagerly swam around the boat waiting for us to jump in. When we did, they absolutely enjoyed swimming alongside us. On their terms, no chasing. Keeping guests in check can be difficult with those one or two people!
I believe our underwater mammal friends our much more resilient than we think. Yes there's a line, your experience sounded well done but we can't let 1 or 2 bad eggs ruin it for everyone. Thank you for sharing your Awesome experience! I hope to one day have such an experience! Overall!? Yes we must be better stewards of our majestical natural planet. GAIA! 🙏❤️🙏
Looked at your site but didn’t see- recommended orgs to donate to for ocean related preservation efforts?
first off, I dont know why you thought grabbing on to a dolphin's fin was a good idea to begin with. I am pretty sure you wouldnt want something to attach itself to you for its form of "entertainment". Secondly, you go to another country to swim with whales (since it's illegal here) and then find out it is not good for them? You make some odd choices for someone who allegedly cares about these animals.
So if you are a “researcher” you can go swim with them to “study” how swimming with them changes their behavior… How do they know what they do when no one is watching? Then recommend no one should swim with them. Eventually no one will care about them because no one has ever seen one. Seem to me the best thing is to let people swim with them so they will care more about them and the oceans. Swim with does not mean ride them.
I've been swimming with manatees every winter since becoming PADI certified in '98. They have been arresting people all this time around the springs in Ocala, Fla. where they congregate in great numbers during the winter. The law is you can't pursue them. If they choose to come to you it's okay. But you can not chase them. Also your not allowed to feed them. In the major areas game wardens will wait in scuba gear to make arrests and often do.
A few years ago we had NOAA enforcement at Kahe several times per week. I haven’t seen them since the pandemic though. When they did show up regularly, I spoke with Officer Newmann about the impact. He cited an example of a bay on the big island that used to get your boats to with the spinners. That pod got sick of it and left permanently.
Good job on the informative vid! I would've liked to have heard more ideas on "scratching that dolphin itch", tho. Thanks for creating that conversation & keep up the honorable work.
Why swim with whales and dolphins when you can swim with great white sharks there more fun to swim with then dolphins and whales, cause if you piss off the shark your no longer a rider but his next meal
Good info, man. I swam with dolphins in Australia, and we would wait on a line at the surface for them to approach us, instead of chasing them down. We can love wildlife and want to see cool animals up close, but we have to respect those animals' personal space. I think this is true for shark dives, too, but that's a whole other can of worms.
Why swim with dolphins and whales when you can swim with MERMAIDS?!?!?
Meysss
In 1980's an old shark touched my left foot. I swam like a torpedo to the beach shore. How much would be the shark's fine? Thanks for the video.
you forgot the low level cut on your microphone , its booms on decent speakers
Nope . Its Illegal in Australia too.
NICE WORK MATE VERY WELL DONE IAM WATCHING FROM AUSTRALIA TIGHT LINES 🇦🇺 🙂 👍
Depends on federal regulations. Very important to also consider Native beliefs and traditions. Various creatures are considered sacred and hands off by different cultures.
Beautiful video thankyou for this important info on human effects
4:29 is so funny and the time on the bottom left is 911
Why are they protected in Hawaii? Because when humpback are in Hawaii, they are there to breed and give birth. People don't need to be harrassing them during this time. Stop bithinn about it and follow the law. I don't care where you are, to chased an animal that doesn't want you there is disgusting! Next you will want to harassment sea turtle (honu) or Hawaiian Monk seals. If you want to ride a dolphin, get a job at Seaworld!! Disgusting!!!
Another ChatGPT product?
Great post, very informative!
Agreed!
lol shorts cooter was hangin out at the beginning in the brown bikini bottom
I cant wait to see what going to happen 0:03
What he said!
I wonder how Octavia would feel about this?
Makes sense to me. If they swim away, don’t give chase.
Hi Shanger happy Tuesday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
im not paying that, i just wouldnt go back
The pod of spinner dolphins love to play a game of “Keep Away”!
It’s more than altering their natural behaviour, i think is more because of how they communicates , search about women giving birth in water helped by dolphins
You make some valid points.. I would love to be in the water near a whale in a very non-Harassing kind of way 🙂
Great video with nuance. No one who's willing to change their behavior will care about facts, and science, though. There are studies on ideology and appeal to nuance and contradictory info.
At the end of the day, everyone who's alive now who want's to be a part of the path forward needs to be open to pulling back on experiences and minimizing impact on other animals. They also need to be open minded to seeing that things that seem fine, might not be helpful. And, animals theese days need all the help they can get.
Some figures say bugs an non-human mammals are down like 70-80% by mass from a century ago. and diversity is dramatically down. My comment isn't ment to be doom and gloom. Humans have changed the face of the planet. We are amazing.... lets be a new type of amazing. Pay attention, and give space for animals. Help let them be wild and natural. Observe dont interact. Sure play with frogs and snakes and bugs in your back yard, but let that just help you respect and leave the wild as wild.
Shanger never disappoints me with hir female guest.
Brit should do a try on of bikinis
It's an easy way to make money. Extortion.
Leave the Wales alone.They can defend themselves.They will put you in there mouth and dive.
I feel if they come up to you and let them go when time. I had a boss who went out and swam with whale sharks. This was down in Baja California. He found a boater who take him out. Big thing he did which he was not to do. Great pictures. He had a friend with him. Though seeing an a bis was so forboning. 😮
And hello
So, Swimming with slow whales and (mostly) gentile & playful Dolphins = BAD.. Swimming and feeding Sharks that can kill you quick, well, that's Okay.. What The? Good info and thank you regardless.
I find it extremely hard to believe that any scientific evidence can be drawn and say we are hurting them in some way by interrupting their naps.
I mean I get it but at the same time I call BS that we are hurting them in some way by being in the water with them as they swim around. I say it's ridiculous and there is no issue at all..... unless someone hurts them physically. But that's of course my opinion. I just base that on common sense.
Can I say some thing😊
Nice swimming
When I lived in Hawaii many years ago, it was okay to swim around dolphins (and turtles) as long as one kept a distance. Can’t remember how far, but it was a reasonable distance. Thanks to abuses of these rules by people like you and other mainlanders, who don’t bother learning the rules and regulations before such activities, the government had to make much stricter rules. Thanks a lot!
Just respect da Aina and the ocean, and also respect the culture by learning their rules as soon as moving there. Ask the locals, they’ll tell you…
Man, you look like Steve McQueen!
Wow
It's obvious that Ur reading a teleprompter.
Because we all swim with dolphins and whales at night ay 😂 wow
Suii
We should all listen to Stephanie's words, as she is a professional in this field and at the specific location.
The Hawaiian Islands are a breeding and birthing location for the humpback. They are only there for those reasons. Respect that.
AWESOME
Dolphins are my fav animal
It's not possible for humans to swim with whales or dolphins as they can quickly leave you behind. My experience has always been, they choose to swim with me.
I couldn't agree with you more with your ending statement! Hunting & killing them BAD! Swimming in a respectful manner with our ocean friends is Beautiful & something very few of rhe World's population will ever get to experience.
Common Sense sadly isn't common anymore!
This was a great video I think I accidentally hit thumbs down thumbs up will not click on this video for some reason
I feel like in the time where they were killing whales for their bones, oils, and other stuff, they needed it for things like lamps with the oils. Now we are harming them just for our own pleasure to look at them, so in a way I feel like it is worse now. But all that aside great video

Hi
C'mon Freedom for all mate
not only yourself and your wife and swimming with them is not endangering anyone or anything
People here may swim and have fun but Japan Hunts them. So here we teach them to trust us and our boats and that sets them up for sudden death when they go to their next spot. Japan is not the only place still killing whales and dolphin's
I’m the first one!
Yep
Bro dolphins are dubs
First Comment!
do you guys NOT understand that humans are wild? humans are also animals. humans are nature too. ohh no a marlin approached a whale. oh no a human approached a whale. you guys are unreal. 👎
Some ridiculous comments for sure. The girl in the video is out of her mind and short on facts. The Pacific Humpback whale population is in great shape and under no danger from human activity. Thousands of whale tours every winter here in Maui and they are doing just fine.
talk about brother Sam and the land stewards trying to keep things pono
Hi
