This is one of the website detailing the conditions and incidents at the
Dolphin Academy in Curacao. Protest to www.breathbonaire.com about
your total disgust at their advertising, and sponsorship. Everything about captive dolphins is total economic, and balony. They were captured out of the wild in Mexico, a country, that does not have any regard for international bans on capturing dolphins

Or you could just leave a sign in front of the underwater camera.

Following the incident, visitors were asked to hand over their cameras and footage was deleted.



Who does this? What kind of child hands over their camera just because they are asked too?

I regularly look at the images on Breathe Bonaire and have seen the "cam" located at the Dolphin Academy in Curacao. Despite its stated location, ALL I ever see are some kind of striped fish - never dolphins.

Was not aware of all the negative aspects of this. I blush to say that in Feb 2007, my husband and daughter did the swim with the dolphins. Cost was outrageous!

Well their cam seems to be gone from their website as well. They have over 700 "fans" on Facebook.
