Its not that bad have done it several times I'm sure that is still there. It wasn't till my third time climbing it that I turned around and realized if I fell there was a bunch of metal in the water underneath me to help break my fall. You literally climb up parts of whats left of the engine equipment to gain access to the rope.
I think of it as fundraiser. Either the $20 or more likely life insurance money.
@Speedling here is another teaser for you - few clips from our awesome 2016 trip (in my old 190). There is lots of dolphins and kids playing (starting at about 4:15).
Traditionally that has been the case, but last year we found some bottlenose dolphins in that area while the spotted dolphins were reported further to the south in the Three Sisters area. Despite much time and fuel spent looking for them I am not aware of any JetBoaters having much luck with dolphins in 2017.
I posted above the easiest way to find dolphins. The sure fire way to see sharks is do the shark lab tour one morning part of their deal is they will take you out to their shark pen and let you touch and see their sharks. Rays will be at honeymoon harbor and you will find star fish typically near both plane wrecks sights on South Bimini that should pretty much guarantee you see all 4.
If you found out the schedule they are running you could pretty much just follow them out to where ever the dolphins are I just would keep a fair distance back in the travel to them just to be respectful.
This is a gray area if you google search it you will get a bunch of different responses. I do know you have to register it with Bahamas aviation prior to your trip and last I heard you still had to get special permission to fly it from the department of aviation and you must have proof of insurance on you while flying. Flight rules are similar to here while flying.
Have you actually tried to chase the dolphin boats to swim with the dolphins? They will have paying customers strung out for hundreds of feet behind the boat. We have used them to find dolphins in the past but by far the best experiences have been when we found the dolphins on our own. They were easy to find in 2016 but difficult in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
Yes we did in 2016 in this video you can see our experience in 2016 you can see the dolphin tour sailing catamaran in the background when we pulled up the Dolphins left them and came over to us.
If they wanted to come on the June trip, I would be willing give them rides to various locations.
They're friends of my buddy so they want to go on the July trip with us.
Room reservation is secured. We're in BS-20D
I bet $20 your new screen name after Bimini will be " AllRoomsByThePoolInUse"Thanks. All the names I could think of were in use.
Convoy!!!
