If Coz does have a wild population where are they normally seen? What species of dolphin? Is it a large population etc?? Thanks :D
 
I was there a couple of weeks ago and we saw 6 Dolphin up North. Stayed and swam with our group for quite awhile. Then 2 days later my friends nephew came in from taking his boat out and said they ran into a HERD of them...Big, and also babies...he swears there were too many to count. That was in the North also.

Yes we do...mostly bottlenose...and most of the sightings are in the north. However, when storms are approaching, you can see literally hundreds of them swimming south.

Thanks Christi. Can you see them quite often?? I plan on diving with you sometime really soon maybe you can take me to where I'll have a decent chance of diving with some.

It is a very, very, very, very very rare occasion when you can actually dive with them inthe wild...anywhere. When we see them, it's mostly from the boat and on one occasion in the last five years, my divers have been lucky enough to have a wild dolphin encounter...so it's not a matter of taking you to the right spot. IMO, wild dolphin encounters are destiny :)
